Lotus Service Notes
2-ELEVEN.M - ELECTRICAL
The 2-Eleven is available with three levels of lighting equipment:
- Track; with no lighting equipment.
- Race; with rear turn lamps, brake lamps and rear fog lamps.
- Road; with full lighting set, but no CHMSL.
Lighting Switches (if fitted)
Principal lighting functions are control-
led by a row of three push button switches
mounted in a nacelle below the scuttle top
edge; for the rear fog switch (if fitted) see
later. Each switch is pressed once to switch
on, and pressed a second time to switch off.
A symbol accompanies each switch to indicate
its function.
Sidelamp Switch
Positioned in the right hand end of the panel, this switch functions with or without the ignition, and switches
on the sidelamps and instrument/switch illumination. A tell tale in the switch button lights up green to indicate
when the circuit is active.
Press the switch a second time to switch off the sidelamps, but note that the headlamps must first be off
(see below).
Headlamp Switch
Centremost of the three switches, that for the headlamps functions with or without ignition, and switches
on the headlamps together with the sidelamps and instrument/switch illumination. A tell tale in the switch but-
ton lights up green to indicate when the circuit is active. The steering column lever switch (see later) is used
to select main or dip beam.
Pressing the switch a second time will switch off the headlamps, but leave on the sidelamps (see
above).
Hazard Warning Lamps Switch
The hazard warning switch is located at the left hand end of the panel and has an icon in the switch but-
ton which is back lit when the ignition is switched on. The switch is operative at all times, and when pressed,
causes all the turn indicator lamps to flash in unison. The turn lamps tell tale and the hazard switch icon will
also flash. Press a second time to switch off.
This facility should be used when the car is stopped on the highway in circumstances where a warning
to other traffic would be judicious. Use of the hazard warning lamps may be subject to local traffic laws, with
which drivers should familiarise themselves.
Instrument Illumination
A small button is provided on the steering column shroud ahead of the ignition switch, by which the bright-
ness of the electroluminescent instrument illumination may be adjusted. To cycle through the range of bright-
ness, first switch on the lights, and then press and hold the button before releasing at the desired setting.
Note that this dual function button also resets the trip distance recorder if pressed only briefly.
