Anti-lock Braking System Status Light
If there is a malfunction with the
system the status light will illuminate.
Do not drive your vehicle. Contact your
McLaren retailer as soon as possible.
WARNING: If the anti-lock braking
system malfunctions, the brake
assist system and electronic
stability control are also
deactivated. If the anti-lock braking
system malfunctions the wheels
could lock when you brake. This may
increase the stopping distance and
impair your ability to steer.
Brake Assist System
The brake assist system operates in
emergency braking situations. If you
depress the brake pedal quickly the brake
assist system automatically increases the
force applied to the brakes and thus
shortens the stopping distance.
Continue to depress the brake pedal firmly
until the emergency situation is over. The
anti-lock braking system prevents the
wheels from locking.
When you release the brake pedal the
brakes will work as normal. The brake assist
system is deactivated.
WARNING: If the brake assist system
malfunctions the brakes will still
operate. However the braking force
is not automatically boosted and
this may increase the stopping
distance.
Hill Hold Control
If the brake pedal is applied to hold the
vehicle on a hill, the hill hold control
function will continue to apply the brakes
for 2 seconds after the pedal is released to
assist a smooth start.
