Ammeter; Heater Controls; Window Lift Switches - Lotus Europa Owner's Handbook Manual

10 Ammeter
The ammeter indicates the rate at which the
alternator is charging the battery. It must be noted
that as the battery nears its fully charged condition
the rate of charge will diminish.
7 Speedometer
This instrument indicates the vehicle's speed
and incorporates both a total distance recorder
and a cancelling trip recorder.
The trip recorder is cancelled back to zero by
pushing the milled knob (28) located beneath the
speedometer head under the facia, in an upwards
direction and turning clockwise. After resetting
pull the knob down.
3 Tachometer
The tachometer is of the electrical type and
gives an indication of the engine's revolutions per
minute.
Maximum safe continuous engine speed is
6,000 r.p.m., which is indicated by the orange sec-
tor. It is permissable to use up to 6,300 r.p.m. for
short bursts, but speeds in excess of this MUST
NOT BE USED.
18 Window lift switches
The door windows are operated electrically by
the rocker switches located in the centre of the
facia panel below the radio aperture, left-hand
switch for left-hand window, and right-hand switch
for right-hand window. Press down and hold to
lower the windows, pushing up and holding to
raise the windows, releasing when window
reaches its limit.
The switches are in the constant live position,
thus enabling the windows to be operated without
switching "on" the ignition.
If difficulty is experienced in raising or lowering
the windows in extreme cold conditions, this can
be remedied by using a de-freezing fluid around
the window seals. DO NOT use a radiator anti-
freeze solution as this could have disastrous
effects on the window seals and body paintwork.
19,23 Heater
controls
Interior ventilation and heating can be con-
trolled in the following manner to suit your require-
ments and can operate satisfactorily with the
windows closed thus reducing wind noise to a
minimum. Air can be delivered, hot or cold and
at any intermediate temperature, to the screen (8)
or to the car interior (19) depending upon require-
ments.
