Seats

Safety

WARNING: Adjust the driver’s seat when the vehicle is stationary. You may not be able to observe road and traffic conditions and you could lose control of the vehicle as a result of the seat moving. You could therefore cause an accident.

WARNING: The seats can be moved even without a key fob in the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, they could be injured if a seat is moved accidentally.

WARNING: Ensure that no one can become trapped as the seat moves. To reduce the risk of injuries in the event of an accident, observe the following:

• All vehicle occupants must select a seat position that allows the seat belt to be worn correctly but is as far away from the front airbags as possible. The position of the driver’s seat must allow the driver to drive the vehicle safely. The distance from the driver’s seat to the pedals must be such that the driver can fully depress the pedals. The distance between the driver’s chest and the center of the airbag cover must be more than 25 cm (10 in). The driver’s arms should be slightly bent when holding the steering wheel.
  Vehicle occupants must always wear their seat belt correctly.
  Position the passenger’s seat as far back as is comfortable.
•  
• WARNING: McLaren does not recommend the use of child seats in this vehicle, but if you choose to do so, please follow the guidelines below:
• Children under 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) tall or younger than 12 years of age must be secured in a suitable child restraint. Please refer to current national and local laws for specific requirements.
  If you are using a child restraint on the passenger’s seat, move the seat as far back as possible.

Manual seats

Lift the lever, move the seat to the desired position and release the lever to lock the seat.

WARNING: Ensure the seat is locked in position before driving.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no items of luggage in the footwell or behind, underneath or to the side of the seats. This may lead to the seats being damaged.

Manual seat backrest rake adjustment

WARNING: To minimise the risk of injury, position the backrest as close as possible to vertical.

NOTE: Do not recline the seat backrest so that it repeatedly contacts the rear bulkhead as this could lead to damage over time.

WARNING: Ensure the seat is locked in position before driving.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no items of luggage in the footwell or adjacent to the seats as this may lead to the seats being damaged or not getting full adjustment.

Comfort exit

WARNING: Ensure that no one can become trapped as the seat moves.
When comfort entry/exit is active, the driver’s seat will move fully rearwards and to its lowest position and the steering wheel will move inwards and to its highest position when the engine is off and the driver’s door is opened.
This assists exit from the vehicle. To switch the feature on or off, see Comfort entry/exit.

NOTE: The steering wheel will only change position if an electric steering column is fitted.

Comfort entry
After entering the vehicle, you can return the driver’s seat and steering wheel to their most recent position using the control stalk on the left of the steering column.

NOTE: The steering wheel will only change position if an electric steering column is fitted.

The function will only be available when ‘Comfort Entry available Pull left stalk to activate Press OK to cancel’ is displayed on the Folding Driver Display.
The vehicle must be Awake with the ignition off, the driver’s door closed, and comfort entry/exit ON.

1. Pull the control stalk towards you once to initiate the comfort entry function.
2. If at any point you wish to cancel the function, operate the control stalk or open the driver’s door. A message ‘Comfort Entry returning Operate stalk or open door to abort’ will appear on the Folding Driver Display.
   NOTE: This function will only return the seat and steering wheel to the position they were in prior to the comfort entry/exit function being used. It will not use any of the memory positions unless the previous position was one of the stored memory positions.
3. If the seat or steering wheel are manually adjusted before the stalk is used, the function will be lost and will not be available until the next time the comfort entry/exit function is used.
   NOTE: Cancel the comfort entry/exit function by starting the engine, pressing a seat or steering column switch, or by operating the control stalk on the left of the steering column while the seat is returning to position.
4. If the comfort entry/exit function is canceled, it will not be possible to return the seat and steering wheel to their previous positions using this function. The message on the Folding Driver Display will disappear and the control stalk will return to its normal use. The function will be available when comfort entry/exit is next used.
5. Once the seat and steering wheel have returned to their previous positions, the message on the Folding Driver Display will disappear and an audible alert will confirm that the process has been completed.
