Scheduled Service Tell Tale; Trip Distance/Digital Speed Display/Time Clock - Lotus Elise Owner's Handbook Manual

NOTICE:
- A 6,000 rpm limit is imposed on a cold engine to reduce pos-
sible damage and wear from an unsympathetic driving style.
- At normal running temperature, maximum continuous engine
speed is 8,000 rpm.
- Using maximum rpm and the above tell tale facility should
be restricted to occasions when maximum acceleration is
required. Overuse will compromise powertrain service life.
- The engine is not protected from overspeeding caused by
erroneous or premature downchanging. Such misuse could
result in catastrophic failure, not covered by the vehicle war-
ranty.
Scheduled Service Tell Tale (if fitted)
Under normal usage conditions, a routine maintenance service
should be performed at the first occurring of 7,500 miles or 6
months from the previous service (see separate Maintenance
Record booklet). The approved service period extends to 500
miles before/after or one month before/after the stipulated dis-
tance/time.
As a driver aid to distance servicing, an amber wrench icon
in the face of the speedometer will flash for 10 seconds follow-
ing each ignition turn on, when within 500 miles of the service
period, allowing plenty of time for booking arrangements to be
made. Once the service period is reached, the tell tale will remain
constantly lit with ignition until reset by your dealer.
Note that this feature is provided only as a secondary aid,
and uses only distance criteria, and not the time factors which
may predominate. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that
servicing is carried out at the prescribed intervals..

Trip Distance/Digital Speed Display/Time Clock

The top left portion of the LCD panel may be cycled through
the following displays:
- Trip distance.
- Digital road speed in km/h (alternative units to mph analogue
display) .
- Digital time clock (if fitted).
To cycle, one at a time, through these three displays, briefly
press the small button on the right hand side of the steering
column shroud. Note that this button also adjusts the brightness
of the instrument and heater/a.c. panel illumination {see page
