A man is going viral on TikTok after highlighting a \u201cgreen flag\u201d he spotted on a date: She couldn\u2019t figure out how to open the door of his McLaren.<\/p>\n
Seto Kiswoyo (@seto_kiswoyo) shared a clip of the moment, showing the woman, presumably on a date with him, struggling to operate the car\u2019s signature dihedral doors.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreen Flag: When she doesn\u2019t know how to open a McLaren,\u201d Kiswoyo wrote in the ton-screen caption.<\/p>\n
He reinforced the point in the post caption, adding, \u201cIf she knows, run king.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of this writing, the clip has racked up more than 3.2 million views, with viewers sharing laughs over the unusual dating metric.<\/p>\n
How Do You Open a McLaren Door?<\/p>\n
McLaren doors trip people up because they don\u2019t work<\/a> like normal car doors. That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n On most models, the process starts with the key fob, and drivers unlock the car while they\u2019re standing nearby. You can also look along the door panel for a small button or sensor, usually tucked near the top edge or beneath the door. And once you press either button, the door will pop out slightly. From there, you lift the dihedral door outward\u2014away from the car.<\/p>\n Where people get stuck is that the exact spot<\/a> may change depending on the model. On cars like the 570S, you may have to feel underneath<\/a> the door to find the button and press it while lifting. The 720S, meanwhile, is a little more forgiving, with a button that\u2019s easier to find once you know<\/a> where to look.<\/p>\n If the key fob battery dies, it gets more complicated, but not impossible<\/a>. According to the McLaren Palm Beach website, there\u2019s a mechanical key hidden inside the fob that lets you unlock the car manually.\u00a0<\/p>\n All of this explains why not knowing how to open a McLaren door isn\u2019t a knock against someone, since it\u2019s the default. These cars are designed to look sleek, and if you haven\u2019t driven or ridden in one before, you\u2019re probably going to stand there for a second and guess. That\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n Viewers Question Why This Is a \u201cGreen Flag\u201d<\/p>\n While Kiswoyo\u2019s video was clearly meant as a joke, some viewers questioned why not knowing how to open a McLaren door counted as a green flag. A few even suggested there might be a deeper reason behind his date\u2019s struggle.<\/p>\n \u201cOr she never had to open her own door,\u201d one woman wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cShe shouldn\u2019t know because you should be the one opening the door for her,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat if she does and [is] just pretending,\u201d a third person wondered.<\/p>\n Many also questioned why Kiswoyo let his supposed date fumble while he filmed.<\/p>\n \u201cShe doesn\u2019t need to open a McLaren door,\u201d one commenter said. \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you opening it for her?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhy are you letting her open the door,\u201d asked another.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd why is she opening the door herself anyways???\u201d a third chimed in.<\/p>\n Kiswoyo replied to the criticism: \u201cCoz clearly I\u2019m filming this for my enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n Some women, particularly those familiar with luxury cars, joked that they would be permanent \u201cred flags\u201d to certain men.<\/p>\n \u201cI work in luxury car sales so ima disappoint every man I ever meet,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cGuess I\u2019m a red flag bc I just watched a video on 4 different ways to open a McLaren door bc of this video,\u201d another quipped. \u201cHow will I ever live.\u201d<\/p>\n Motor1 has reached out to Kiswoyo via direct message on TikTok.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n \t\tWe want your opinion!\n\t<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motor1.com?<\/p>\n \t\t – The Motor1.com Team<\/p>\n
