Lotus Dynamic Performance (Lotus DPM) 'Off' Button
In certain unusual circumstances, such as loose surfaces,
deep snow or when 'rocking' the vehicle free from mud, it may
be desirable to temporarily switch off the Lotus DPM. A Lotus
DPM 'off' button is provided in the fascia, outboard of the steering
column, and is operative only with the ignition on.
To switch off Lotus DPM, hold the button pressed for one sec-
ond, until the button surround lights up in conjunction with the
amber 'Lotus DPM off' tell tale in the instrument panel.
WARNING
• Lotus DPM should always be active when driving on the
public highway in normal conditions.
• If the system is switched off when driving off-highway, be
aware of the consequent change in vehicle behaviour and
modify driving style accordingly.
To re-activate Lotus DPM, briefly press the button a second
time and check that the tell tale goes out.
Irrespective of the system status when the ignition is turned
off, Lotus DPM will automatically be activated next time the
ignition is switched on.
If the on-board diagnostic system detects a fault with the
Lotus DPM system, the tell tale will be lit continuously; see your
dealer without delay.
