Seat Belts Cleaning; Footwell Cleaning; Sill Trims; Door Lock - Lotus Evora 400 2018 Owner's Handbook Manual

Seat Belt Cleaning
The seat belts may be sponged with warm
water and should be allowed to air dry
naturally before use. Do not use chemical
cleaners and never attempt to bleach or
dye the webbing.
Take care to avoid the ingress of foreign
bodies into the buckle mechanism that
could affect the functionality of the latch.
There is no provision for disassembly.
WARNING
The seat belt should be replaced if the
webbing becomes frayed, contaminated
or damaged. Not checking or maintaining
seat belts can result in them not working
properly when needed. Check all the belts
regularly and have any problem corrected
immediately.

Footwell Cleaning

NOTICE: Use only correctly secured Lotus
approved carpet mats in the footwells.
Floor coverings made from plastic or
other non-breathable materials may trap
moisture and initiate surface corrosion of
the footwell floors. Any damage caused
by the use of incorrect mats will not be
covered by the New Vehicle Warranty.

Sill Trims

Note that the sill trim covers will be sub-
jected to wear and tear during the normal
course of cabin access and may require
periodic replacement dependent on the
level of use and the owner's preference.

Door Lock

It is recommended to periodically operate
the left hand exterior door key lock in order
to check and maintain its functionality,
should this ever be required. A special lock
spray grease will maintain smooth and
reliable operation. Your Lotus dealer will
be pleased to advise.
Be aware that any use of silicone based
general maintenance sprays can wash
out the grease required for mechanism
longevity.

Special edition models may have specific
individual panels, or be completely painted
in a 'soft feel' matt paint finish.

Limited Warranty

Please refer to the separate Warranty
Booklet for specific terms and conditions
with regards panels painted in 'soft feel'
