ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM

SWITCHES
Electronic Stability Program (ESP
The Electronic Stability Program system
(ESP ) has 4 driver selectable modes which
®
are controlled using the switches located
within the switch cluster.
Note: ESP 'Off' and RACE modes can only
be selected whilst the engine is running,
but can be activated either whilst the vehi-
cle is being driven or is stationary.
Note: In all cases, Anti-Lock Braking
(ABS) and Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)
will be retained.
WARNING
Lotus recommends that ESP should
always be active when driving on public
roads in normal conditions.
