If this symbol is flashing in the
drivers display whilst driving,
then ESC intervention is taking
place, indicating that the
vehicles tractive limit has been
reached and that driving style
should be modified.
ESC is a supplementary driver support
function intended to aid the driver, but
it cannot be guaranteed to operate
fully in every traffic, weather and road
condition.
WARNING: Even with these safe-
ty systems fitted, do not take any
risks and stay alert when driv-
ing. The driver is responsible at all
times for maintaining appropriate
road speed conditions, making any
necessary allowances for increased
stopping distances.
The symbol illuminates contin-
uously accompanied by a mes-
sage in the driver's display if a
fault has been detected with the
ESC system.
If ESC is manually turned off
then this symbol is illuminated
in the drivers display, see page 168
for further information.
WARNING: Lotus recommends that
ESC should always be active when
driving on public roads in normal
conditions.
Sport Mode
With sport mode selected there is a re-
duction in ESC settings, allowing in-
creased power-induced wheel slippage
thresholds and no throttle reduction on
understeer. See page 168.
STARTING AND DRIVING

ignition mode II, see page 153.
NOTE: A motor noise may be heard
when the parking brake is applied
and may also be heard during the
automatic function checking of the
