Lotus Evora 2011 Owner's Handbook Manual page 94

Selecting whilst driving: hold the button pressed for one second
until the button surround lights up amber, accompanied by the
amber 'SPORT' tell tale in the instrument panel.
WARNING
If Sport Mode button is pressed for more than one second
whilst driving the vehicle will immediately engage Sports
Mode irrespective of throttle position. This could cause the
vehicle to accelerate slightly without increased throttle pedal
depression.
Sport Mode Evora S Vehicles
Enhancements obtained by selecting Sport Mode are the same
as those of non-supercharged vehicles except that by pressing
the sports button the operation parameters of the exhaust ac-
tive valve change, allowing it to be open more of the time. The
sports button is predominantly intended for track use, utilising a
sportier engine note and promoting a more enthusiastic driving
experience. (See page 101 for further information on the Active
Exhaust Valve System).
To switch off Sport Mode, briefly press the button a second
time and fully release the throttle pedal. Note that Sport Mode
will always default to 'off' at the next ignition cycle. The active
exhaust valve on the Evora S will default to its normal mode as
the exhaust silencer is designed to limit exhaust gas noise during
typical normal driving engine operating ranges.

pose'.
