MAINTAINING YOUR McLAREN
HEELS AND TIRES
approach the obstacle at a shallow angle or
the tires could be damaged.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that
the tires or wheels are damaged. If you
experience anything unusual, reduce your
speed and stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits to check the tires and wheels for
damage. If you find no signs of damage, have
the tires and wheels inspected at your
McLaren Retailer.
sure that is too
high or too low has a negative effect
on the vehicle!s active safety, this
could lead to an accident. Frequently
check the pressure of all tires,
particularly prior to long trips, and
correct the pressure as necessary.
WARNING: If the pressure in a tire
drops repeatedly, inspect the tire for
foreign objects or signs of punctures,
check the valve for air leaks.
For the tire pressures for various operating
conditions, see Tire pressures, page 6.11.
They are also printed on a label attached to
the fuel filler flap.
If the vehicle is to be driven at high speeds,
the tire pressure must be checked, and if
necessary adjusted.
NOTE: In some markets, the tire pressure
label is attached to the base of the
driver!s side B-post.
NOTE: Tire pressures given for low loads
are minimum values which offer
optimum ride comfort.
Increased pressures for higher loads will
not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle, but ride comfort will be
impaired.
Check the pressures when the tires are cold. If
it is necessary to check the tires when they
are warm, pressures will be higher. Do not let
air out of warm tires to match the
recommended cold tire pressures.
