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 a McLaren Dealer as soon
as possible.
WARNING: If the Anti-lock Braking
System malfunctions, 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
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. 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.
Brake disc wiping
Brake disc wiping operates automatically when
the windscreen wiper is switched on. It
prevents moisture build up on the brake discs
during periods of heavy rain, improving braking
performance.
Hill hold control
If the foot brake is applied to hold the vehicle on
a hill, this function will continue to apply the
brakes for two seconds after the pedal is
released to assist a smooth start.
