Interesting take on the McLaren F1 from a former owner that bought it seemingly as an investment/status and was shocked by the (admittedly crazy sounding) maintenance schedule/prices.



While the driving experience was designed to be road focused, it does seem the component life skewed more towards a race/track car.

I still want one.

Anyone wanna venture a guess on what these buttons do?

No clue.

In what kind of car? The symbols make me think air circulation. The 'n' throws me though, making me think it's not a car from an English speaking market.

In a Sprinter.

The answer turns out to be a feature called ADR, which overrides the idle control with a user-settable number. I don't knw why "idle control override" is abbreviated ADR or why the button has an N on it. WTF?

I think the direct translation of "ADR" is something like Arbeit (work) Drehungs (rotations) Reglung (regulator), with n = number of rotations (per minute).

It's an adjustable high-idle switch. You'd switch it on when parked and running the AC (or other power consuming accessories), for example.
