Lotus Service Notes

Turning Off the Interior Movement Sensor

A microwave sensor mounted behind the centre console, will detect substantial physical movement within
the cockpit, and trigger the alarm.
If an animal is to be left in the vehicle, or if for any other reason it is desired to exclude the interior move-
ment sensor, press once the transmitter logo button in the normal way to set the alarm, and then press a second
time (within 2 seconds) to exclude the interior movement sensor. A single beep will be heard as confirmation.
The sensor will automatically re-activate next time the alarm is armed.

Opening the Tailgate

To open the tailgate, press twice the end button on the transmitter key; the latch will release and allow
the tailgate to be opened, assisted by pressurised struts. Boot lamps will switch on automatically whenever
the tailgate is open.
With the ignition switched on, warning of an open or not fully latched tailgate is provided on the right hand
screen in the instrument panel via the vehicle silhouette graphic.
To close the tailgate, ensure that no persons or objects will be trapped before pulling down the panel and
pressing firmly over the latch to assure its complete engagement. Guard against inadvertently locking the
transmitter key in the boot.

Manual Activation of Siren

If, for personal security reasons, it is desired to manually activate the siren at any time when the ignition
is off, hold pressed the end button on the transmitter key for 3 seconds. The wailing siren will sound, and the
hazard lamps flash for a period of 30 seconds. To stop the siren, press once any of the transmitter buttons.
Manual siren activation will not affect the alarm system status.

Transmitter Key Battery Replacement

The transmitter fobs will normally operate within a range of 5 metres from the car, but this may be reduced
by the presence of other radio signals in the vicinity.
The transmitters are powered by a long life 3V Lithium battery, type CR2025, readily available from electri-
cal outlets, which with normal use should last for 3 years. To ensure continuity of operation, it is recommended
to renew the batteries every 12 months:
- Using a small screwdriver, prise the
transmitter fob from the key blade carrier utilis-
ing the slot provided on the back of the case.
- At the end face of the fob, prise the
retaining tang inwards whilst withdrawing the
battery carriage from the fob.
- Remove the old battery and wait for 10
seconds before inserting a new battery, with
+ve sign lowermost, and holding the battery
only by its periphery.
- Slide the battery carriage back into the
fob, pressing firmly to engage the clip, and
then clip back onto the key blade.
- The transmitter should now operate
normally.
Emergency Disarming/Mobilising
If the key transmitter is damaged or fails to function, and a spare key is not available, the alarm system's
unique sPecific Identification Number (PIN) may be used to disarm the alarm provided that access is avail-
able to the cabin:
- Turn on the ignition. The alarm tell tale will light.
- If the alarm is armed, accessing the cabin, or turning on the ignition will trigger the alarm until completion
of this emergency process.
- Within 10 seconds, turn the ignition off; the tell tale will begin to flash.
- After a number of flashes corresponding to the first digit of the PIN, turn on the ignition. Note that the first
flash may not be of full duration (but is still to be counted) dependent on the waveform position at time of
ignition switch off. Note that 10 flashes correspond to a zero digit.
