Before You Drive
Occupant Safety
Have seat belts checked if the belts
have been damaged or subjected to
a heavy load. Work on the seat belts
should only be carried out by your
McLaren retailer.
Wearing a seat belt
1. Ensure that you are seated comfortably
and the controls are within easy reach.
2. Grasp the seat belt latch and pull across the
body, ensuring that the belt lies flat across
the mid point of the collar bone between
the neck and shoulder, then across the
chest and pelvis.

3. With the belt correctly positioned insert the
latch into the buckle and press until a click
is heard to confirm engagement.
Check engagement by attempting to pull
the latch from the buckle.
Seat belt tensioners
The seat belts incorporate belt tensioners. Belt
tensioners apply tension to the seat belts in an
accident, pulling them tight against the occupant.
WARNING: Do not insert the belt latch
into the passenger's seat belt buckle
if the passenger's seat is unoccupied.
The belt tensioners could be
triggered in an accident.
WARNING: Belt tensioners do not
correct an incorrect seating position
or incorrectly worn seat belts.
Belt tensioners do not pull occupants
back towards the backrests.
The belt tensioner will be triggered for each seat
belt, provided the belt latch is engaged in the
seat belt buckle, if a head-on or rear-end collision
occurs and the vehicle decelerates or accelerates
rapidly.
If the belt tensioners are triggered, a bang will
be heard, a small amount of dust may be released
and the supplementary restraint system warning
light will illuminate.
WARNING: Once triggered (or if you
are unsure if they have triggered) you
MUST not drive the vehicle. Contact
your nearest McLaren retailer
immediately.
Belt force limiters
The seat belts incorporate belt force limiters.
Belt force limiters are tuned to the front air bags
and gradually release the tension being applied
to the belts during an impact, reducing the force
exerted on occupants.
Seat belt warning light
The seat belt warning light on the Folding
Driver Display and a warning tone reminds
vehicle occupants to fasten their seat belts. The
seat belt warning light extinguishes and the
warning tone ceases when the driver and
passenger have fastened their seat belt.
