Recovery Eye - Lotus Evora 2011 Owner's Handbook Manual

17. RECOVERY AND LIFTING

Recovery Eye

A recovery eye is provided with the vehicle tool kit, and stowed
in the rear luggage compartment. When required, fit the eye to
its anchorage point in the top left hand corner of the radiator
air intake aperture, having first removed the protective bung (if
fitted), and screw fully into the tapped boss.
The eye is provided to aid vehicle recovery, such as winching
onto a flatbed car transporter, but only when the car is able to
roll freely. Only in an emergency should the car be towed, and
then only for the shortest distance necessary, during which time
the following precautions must be taken:
WARNING
• Use only towing equipment designed specifically for this
purpose, or damage to the car may be caused, or you
could be killed or seriously injured.
• Ensure that the key is used to unlock the steering column,
and is then left in the lock. Never withdraw the key until
the car is stationary. The steering column will lock when
the key is withdrawn.
