Lotus Evora 2011 Owner's Handbook Manual page 108

Manual tailgate release: If the vehicle battery becomes discharged,
the tailgate cannot be opened using the transmitter fob. For this
situation, and if for any reason the transmitter is lost or damaged,
an emergency cable release handle is provided within the cabin
(access via the mechanical left hand door lock - see page 33),
located beneath the rear seat cushion (2+2) or shelf pad (2+0).
Lift the cushion or pad to release from their fabric hook and loop
fastening, and pull the release handle in a direction towards the
centre of the car.
On closing the tailgate after an emergency release, take extra
care to ensure the tailgate is fully latched.
