genuine Lotus Service Parts and the car is certified as being in
conformity with Federal and California emission control require
ments. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or replacement of emission
control systems be Lotus Service Parts or Lotus Authorized
Remanufactured Parts. The owner may elect to have mainte
nance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and
systems performed by any automotive repair establishment or
individual, and may elect to use parts other than Lotus Service
or Authorized Remanufactured Parts for such maintenance,
replacement or repair without invalidating this warranty; the cost
of such service or parts, however, will not be covered under the
warranty, except in emergency situations.
Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality
may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems. If
other than Lotus Service Parts or Authorised Remanufactured
Parts are used for maintenance, replacement or repair of com
ponents affecting emission control, the owner should obtain
assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufac
turer to be equivalent to genuine Lotus parts in performance
and durability. Lotus however, assumes no liability under this
warranty with respect to failure of such parts other than Lotus
Service Parts or Authorized Remanufactured Parts. However,
the use of non-Lotus replacement parts does not invalidate the
warranty on other components. If a non-Lotus emission related
part causes damage to other components, then the liability
for the subsequent damage shall not be assumed by Lotus. If
however, a Lotus Service Part or Authorised Remanufactured
Part causes damage to a non-Lotus part, such non-Lotus part
will be repaired.
Repairs and service covered by this warranty will be per
formed by any authorized Lotus Dealer at his place of business
with no charge for parts or labour (including diagnosis), using
Lotus Service or Authorized Remanufactured Parts for any part
of the emission control system covered by this warranty. In the
case of an emergency, where an authorized Lotus dealer is not
available, or a Lotus part is not available within 30 days; repairs
may be performed at any available service establishment or by
any individual using any replacement part. Lotus will reimburse
the owner for such repairs (including diagnosis) that are covered
under this warranty, but such reimbursement will not exceed the
Lotus suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced, and
