Important Safety Information About Modifications
Do not remove any original equipment or modify your car
in any way that would alter its design or operation. This could
make your car unsafe or illegal to drive.
For example, do not install wheels and tires with a differ-
ent overall diameter. Such modifications can adversely affect
handling, and interfere with the operation of the car's anti-lock
brakes and other systems.
In addition, any modifications that decrease ground clearance
beyond Lotus approval, increase the chance of undercarriage
parts striking a kerb, speed bump, or other raised object, which
could cause your airbags to deploy as well as damaging the
chassis and body underside.
Do not modify your steering wheel or any other part of your air-
bag system. Modifications could make the system ineffective.
WARNING:
Do not attach or place objects on the airbag covers.
Any object attached to or placed on the covers marked
'AIRBAG', in the centre of the steering wheel and on top of
the dashboard, could interfere with the proper operation
of the airbags. Or, if the airbags inflate, the objects could
be propelled inside the car and hurt someone.
