Driving Controls
Starting and Driving
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched on when the engine is running and
drive is selected. The rear parking sensors are
switched on when reverse gear is selected. The
light around the parking sensors button will
illuminate amber to indicate that parking sensors
are active.
Front parking sensors can be activated when the
vehicle is in neutral and the system is manually
turned on.
The centre sensors on the front bumper have a
range of approximately 1 m (3 ft). The centre
sensors in the rear bumper have a range of
approximately 1.5 m (5 ft).
An intermittent tone is heard when an
obstruction is within range. As the vehicle moves
closer to an obstruction, the frequency of the
tone increases. When the distance between the
sensors and the obstruction is less than
approximately 40 cm (1 ft 6 in), the tone
becomes continuous.
WARNING: The parking sensors may
not detect moving objects such as
children and animals until they are
dangerously close. Always
manoeuvre with caution and always
use your mirrors, turn your head and
look behind you.
NOTE: The parking sensors are for
guidance only and are not intended to
replace the driver's visual checks for
obstructions when manoeuvring. The
parking sensors may not detect some
obstructions, such as narrow posts or
small obstructions close to the ground
such as kerbs.
The rear parking sensors are automatically
switched off when reverse gear is de-selected.
The front parking sensors are automatically
switched off when the vehicle speed exceeds
16 mph (26 km/h) and drive is selected. If the
parking sensors have been manually activated,
by pressing the centre of the button, the front
parking sensors will become active again when
the vehicle speed reduces to 12 mph (20 km/h).
The parking sensors can be switched off
manually by pressing and holding the centre of
the button, to remove the parking sensor
proximity view from the Central Infotainment
Touchscreen press centre of the button when
in drive or neutral. The parking sensors cannot
be manually switched off if reverse gear is
selected. When manually switched off, the light
around the button will be extinguished.
When the system has been manually switched
off, both the front and rear sensors will still
switch on when reverse gear is selected and
remain on until drive or neutral is selected again.
If a fault is detected the system will be disabled
and message will appear in the Folding Driver
Display, the parking sensor button light will flash.
If the sensors are obscured by dirt, ice or snow,
clean them. If the problem persists, contact your
McLaren retailer.
