WARNING
The following paragraphs of this section
contain safety messages.
Don't Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one
drink can reduce the driver's ability to re-
spond to changing conditions, with reaction
time deteriorating with every additional
drink. Do not compromise driving safety
by drinking alcohol.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed the greater the risk, but serious
accidents can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for the cur-
rent conditions, irrespective of the local
speed limit.
Keep Your Car in Safe Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical fail-
ure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce
the possibility of such problems, check the
tire condition and pressures frequently,
and have all scheduled maintenance (see
separate Maintenance Record booklet)
performed in a timely manner.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Servicing, Repairs and Modifications
Unapproved modifications or additions to
the car, or allowing servicing or repairs to
be carried out by unskilled persons, could
adversely affect the handling of the car
and the operation of its safety equipment.
Ensure that only modifications approved
by Lotus are undertaken. DO NOT allow
servicing, repairs or modifications to be
carried out by unskilled persons. Lotus
dealers have trained staff who are best
qualified to maintain your car to the correct
specification.
Failure to comply with these provisions
may result in the denial of any warranty
claims and/or result in a crash in which
you and others may be killed or seriously
injured.
