CAUTION: Changing gear without
correct clutch and throttle opera-
tion can result in transmission and
engine damage. Never attempt
to engage reverse gear while the
vehicle is moving forward. This
may result in serious transmission
damage which is not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Clutch Pedal
For manual transmission vehicles the
clutch pedal must be fully depressed
to start the engine. Ensure that clutch
pedal movement is not obstructed by
a floormat or any other object before
driving.
WARNING: Any floor coverings
in the footwell must be properly
secured. Loose mats can interfere
with the operation of the foot
pedals causing possible loss of
vehicle control.
Automatic Transmission
The Lotus automatic transmission
system allows the driver to switch
between conventional 6 speed
automatic drive to manual shift mode
with the option of sport and track
modes 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 bi-
ased to optimise refinement and fuel
economy.
Manual Selection
Forward gears can be sequentially
manually selected using either the gear
selector or paddle shifters behind the
steering wheel.
