Lotus Service Notes
Lights On' Buzzer
A 'lights on' reminder buzzer will sound if the lights are on when the ignition is switched off and the driver's
door is opened.
Rear Fog Lamp Switch
The lowermost switch controls the two rear fog lamps (where fitted), and may be selected only after first
switching on the ignition, and then the headlamps. A tell tale in the switch button lights up amber to indicate
when the circuit is active.
Note that the switch will default 'off' whenever the headlamps or ignition are switched off, requiring re-
selection if lamp acivation is again desired.
In some territories, rear fog lamps may be used legally only in conditions of 'seriously reduced visibility'.
Be aware that indiscriminate or forgetful use of the rear fog lamps can cause distraction and discomfort to fol-
lowing traffic.
Hazard Warning Lamps Switch
The hazard warning switch is located immediately ahead of the gear lever in the centre shroud, and has
an icon in the switch button which is back lit when the ignition is switched on. The switch is operative at all
times, and when pressed flashes all the turn indicator lamps, and the switch tell tale, in unison. Press a second
time to switch off.
This facility should be used when the vehicle has to be stopped on the highway in abnormal 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, between the ignition switch and steering wheel,
by which the brightness of the instrument illumination may be adjusted. To cycle through the range of bright-
ness, press and hold the button, and release at the desired setting.
This dual function button also resets the trip distance recorder - see 'Trip Recorder'.
Auxiliary Power Socket
An auxiliary power socket is fitted in the
centre trim shroud below the oddments pocket
on the rear bulkhead. The socket is operative
at all times, and is provided with a protective
hinged flap and an illumination ring which is
backlit red when the lights are switched on.
The format of the socket allows a
standard cigarette lighter element to be used,
or other electrical accessories requiring this
type of fitting. Maximum current draw should
not exceed 15 amps.
