WARNING
Never leave the car unattended with the key in the ignition
switch, especially if unsupervised children and/or animals
are in the car. Dangers can arise from imprudent operation of
window or other electrical controls. If engine starting attempts
are made, an accident could be caused, resulting in death or
serious injury.

Vehicle Security Alarm

The Lotus Evora is fitted as standard with a PFK 457 immobi-
liser/alarm which includes the following features:
• 'Dynamic coding' of the transmitter keys; Each time the
transmitters are used, the encrypted rolling code is changed
to guard against unauthorised code capture.
• Automatic activation of immobiliser, central locking and alarm
system.
• Ingress protection using sensing switches on the latches of
both doors, and the tailgate.
• Selectable cockpit intrusion detection using a microwave
sensor.
• Self powered siren to maintain protection if the vehicle battery
is disconnected.
• Personal protection by 'on demand' activation of the siren.
• Emergency alarm override and transmitter key programming
using an alarm sPecific Identification Number (PIN).
• Homesafe and selectable (drive away) locking.

Disarming the Alarm/Unlocking

When approaching the car, it is likely that the vehicle is locked
and the alarm armed, as indicated by the alarm red tell tale lamp
in the speedometer face flashing once every 3 seconds. To disarm
the alarm and unlock both doors:
- Press the central, unlock, button on the transmitter key;
-
This command will be acknowledged by a double flash of the
hazard lamps;
- Driver and passenger doors will be unlocked;
- The engine will be mobilised (see below);
- The alarm tell tale will be extinguished;
-
The interior and mood lights will fade on, and remain lit for
up to 2 minutes (if set to the 'courtesy' position).
Note: Your dealer, by request, can configure the system to unlock
only the driver's door on the first button press, and the passen-
ger's door after a second press.
