Accelerate smoothly and gently from a
standing start.
• When in manual mode, avoid high
engine rpm by changing to a higher gear
as soon as possible.
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) will
illuminate when an upshift would
maintain optimum economy.
NOTE: Not available in all markets,
consult your McLaren Retailer.
• Avoid laboring or over-revving the
engine.
• Switch off the air conditioning when it is
not needed.
• Avoid journeys where frequent stop start
driving is involved.
• Ensure that your driving style suits the
prevailing road and traffic conditions;
allow time for smooth, progressive
acceleration and braking.
• Use a reputable fuel economy tracking
website to track your mileage and fuel
usage.
Exhaust Temperature Monitoring

temperatures to protect the catalytic
converters from damage caused by
overheating.
If excessive exhaust temperatures are
measured, a warning will be displayed on the
left-hand side of the instrument cluster.
The vehicle speed should be reduced as soon
as this message is observed. Refrain from
maneuvers involving high engine speed and
high engine load (full throttle) to allow the
exhausts to cool. The message will remain
until the temperature has reduced.
If the exhaust temperature remains at an
excessive level, a second warning is displayed
and Limphome mode is activated. The engine
performance will remain limited until the
vehicle is restarted.
NOTE: Catalytic converter over
temperature warnings are not likely to
be observed during normal driving and
are the result of extreme operating
conditions. For example, high exhaust
temperatures can be caused by
extended track driving, maintaining high
engine speed for long durations, and
sudden and repeated changes in throttle
demand.
NOTE: High exhaust temperatures can
cause damage to catalytic converters
and should be avoided by practicing
careful driving.
If the warnings persist, contact your McLaren
Retailer.
