  • A brief push of the stalk downwards will decrease the vehicle speed in 1 mph (1 km/h) decrements (depending on the units selected, see Speed & Distance Units.
  • or push and hold the stalk downwards, the vehicle will decelerate, release the stalk when the desired speed has been reached.

NOTE: If you decelerate using the cruise control stalk, the gearbox may shift down to increase the rate of deceleration.
Downshifting manually using the gear change paddles will not disengage cruise control.

Resuming a stored speed
WARNING: Only resume the stored speed if it is appropriate for the current road and traffic conditions. Sudden acceleration could endanger yourself and others.

Pull the cruise control stalk briefly towards you.
Cruise control will adjust the vehicle’s speed to the last speed stored.

Setting an upper-speed limit

WARNING: It is the driver’s responsibility to keep within proper speed limits.
WARNING: The active speed limiter (ASL) feature may allow the vehicle to exceed the upper-speed limit in certain situations, for example, when descending steep gradients.
NOTE: ASL can be activated when the vehicle is stationary. The upper-speed limit will be set to a default speed of 20 mph (30 km/h).

The ASL control allows the driver to set an upper-speed limit.

Running in
Observe the following running in instructions when the vehicle is new or if any of these components have been replaced.

Engine and gearbox
For the first 625 miles (1,000 km):

  • Drive at varying road and engine speeds.
    Do not drive faster than the maximum speed limit of the road, or 150 mph (240 km/h).
    Do not use your vehicle on a track.
    Avoid heavy loads on the engine (driving at full throttle).
    Avoid driving at engine speeds less than 2,000 rpm.
    Avoid running at constant speed and load for long periods.
  • Avoid using kickdown.
    Do not downshift for additional engine braking.
    Avoid stopping the engine within 2 minutes of high speed and high load running.
  • Avoid idling the engine for more than 10 minutes.
    After the 625 miles (1,000 km) running in period, you may gradually use the vehicle’s full performance.

NOTE: Failure to observe the engine and gearbox operating limits during the running in period may lead to premature wear or damage.
NOTE: These running in instructions also apply for the first 625 miles (1,000 km) after the engine or transmission has been replaced.
ENVIRONMENTAL: This advice will assist in improving fuel economy and should be adopted as normal driving practice even after the running in period.

Brakes
New brakes require an initial bedding in period. Avoid heavy braking situations for the first 625 miles (1,000 km).

Normal/road use

  • Allow the engine to warm up before driving at high engine speeds and high loads. Limit engine speed to 5,000 rpm until the engine reaches full operating temperature
  • Avoid stopping the engine within 2 minutes of high speed/high load running.
  • Avoid idling the engine for more than 10 minutes.

Track use

NOTE: Do not use the vehicle on a track during the running in period.
Before you use your vehicle on the track, consult your McLaren retailer. McLaren recommend that your vehicle is inspected before and after track use.
