Cruise Control

Overview
WARNING: Pay particular attention to road and traffic conditions, when cruise control is activated, and always travel at a speed which is safe for the current conditions.
Never use cruise control on winding or slippery roads or when visibility is poor, e.g. in fog, heavy rain or snow.

Cruise control allows the driver to maintain a constant speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is useful on motorway journeys where a constant speed can be maintained for long periods.

Speed can be increased at any time by pressing the accelerator pedal. Once the accelerator pedal is released the vehicle will return to the cruise control speed.

WARNING: Always be aware that cruise control is engaged and do not override cruise control for extended periods. Releasing the accelerator in these circumstances could lead to the vehicle not decelerating at the rate you expect.

Can I change the following distance in SCC on the 765LT?

Adaptive cruise control, which modifies the following distance, may not be available on the 765LT. Standard cruise control is typically included, which maintains a predetermined speed without accounting for following distance.

How does SCC respond to traffic and obstacles on the road?

Traffic or barriers are not taken into account by standard SCC. Until you manually intervene by depressing the brake or accelerator, it will keep moving at the set speed.

Can I turn off SCC easily if I no longer want to use it?

You can disable SCC by pressing the SCC button, lightly applying the brakes, or disabling the cruise control using the steering-wheel controls.

Is SCC effective in hilly or mountainous terrain?

 Does SCC work well in hilly or mountainous terrain? SCC may not work as well in hilly or mountainous territory because it may find it difficult to keep a consistent pace on steep inclines and declines.

Can I use SCC in inclement weather conditions?

While it is normally safe to use SCC in light rain or snow, it is best to disengage it for safety concerns in severe rain, snow, or slick situations.

Is SCC user-friendly for those new to McLaren vehicles?

After a brief period of becoming comfortable with the controls, SCC is intended to be user-friendly and should be simple to use.

What is the maximum speed at which SCC can be set?

Depending on the exact model and the local speed limits, you can set a maximum speed with SCC.

Can I set SCC to a speed lower than my current speed?

Yes, you may set SCC to a speed that is lower than the pace you are travelling at, and the car will slow down to that speed.

Can I use SCC in manual mode on the 765LT?

SCC normally operates in automatic transmission mode. It may not be as beneficial to use it in manual mode in certain circumstances, thus speed control should generally be done manually.
