Automatic Transmission System Option
The Lotus automatic transmission system
allows the driver to switch between
conventional 6 speed automatic drive to
manual paddle shift mode with the option
of 'Sport' mode producing quicker and
more pronounced gear shifts as well as
optimising shift points for performance.
System Modes:
Automatic transmission: Gear shifts and
shifting points are biased to optimise
refinement and fuel economy.
Manual sequential gear selection: Forward
gears can be manually selected using
the paddle shifters provided within the
steering wheel.

Using PRND Gear Selector
With the ignition switch in position II, the
following gears can be selected from the
PRND control panel.
P - Park
R - Reverse
N - Neutral
D - Drive
The engine can only be started if P -
Park or N - Neutral is selected and the
footbrake is depressed.
A warning message will
appear in the right hand
display screen if attempting
to select PRND or start the
vehicle without the footbrake
depressed.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Note: It is good driving practice to only
turn the engine off once the vehicle is
stationary and P – Park been selected.
With the engine stopped (ignition switch in
position I) Park is automatically selected,
(also refer to page 39 for further details).

To remain in neutral with the engine
stopped turn the ignition switch back to
position II and then re-select N - Neutral.
Note: The key cannot be removed from
the ignition switch until P - Park has been
selected. Refer to pages 39 - 40 for full
information on ignition switch functions.
WARNING
Always apply the footbrake whilst
selecting D - Drive or R - Reverse as the
vehicle may 'creep' even if the throttle
is not depressed. To avoid unexpected
or sudden vehicle movement wait for
the transmission to engage gear after
selecting D or R before depressing the
accelerator.
