Lotus ELISE 2007 Owner's Handbook Manual page 175

NOTICE: The car is a speciality sports car not intended to be
subjected to automatic car washes. If the car is so treated,
any consequent damage is not covered by the warranty.
(l) PAINT. If it is determined that paint on the car must be
repaired because of an item covered under warranty the
paint colour matching of repaired or replaced body panels
will be achieved within practicable limits as determined by
the Company. Painting of the entire car solely for the purpose
of paint colour matching will not be covered under the war-
ranty.
(m) NOISE AND VIBRATION. Noise and vibration are a
normal and necessary feature of a mechanical device such as
a motor car. The nature and extent of such noises, including
brake squeal, engine and exhaust noise, gear whine, knocks,
rattles and wind noise will differ from car to car, with the level
of acceptability being determined by the Company.
(n) LEATHER. Lotus cars are upholstered with premium
quality leather specifically tanned and dyed for automotive
use. As a natural material, leather ages in various ways and
may, over time, exhibit signs of cracking, scuffing, shrinking,
etc. Such wear is the natural maturing of the leather and is
not covered under warranty.
(o) VOLTAGE POLARITY. Damage caused by incorrect
or reversed polarity connection of the battery during battery
re-connection, battery charging, jump starting or any other
reason.
(p) SALVAGE TITLE OR TOTAL LOSS. The warranty does
not cover any car which has salvage title or has been declared
as an insurance write off (total loss) due to an accident or
damage.
