Accessories and Modifications
Lotus Retailers can supply accessories
designed and approved by Lotus,
supported by the Lotus warranty.
Although non-approved Lotus
accessories may fit your Lotus, they
may not meet Lotus specifications and
could adversely affect the safety or
handling and stability of the vehicle.
Modifications could make the vehicle
unsafe, discuss with your Lotus Retailer
before attempting any modifications or
fitting accessories.
WARNING:
Installing non-ap-
proved Lotus accessories, or per-
forming non-approved modifi-
cations, can affect the vehicle
performance and occupant safety.
WARNING:
Lotus does not accept
liability for death, personal injury
or damage as a result of installing
non-approved Lotus accessories
or making non-approved
modifications.
Vehicle Storage
Fluids
Ensure the engine oil and filter, coolant
and brake fluid have all recently been
renewed.
Battery
Either leave the battery in the vehicle
and connect a battery management
(conditioner) type of charger, or
remove the battery and trickle charge
every two months. Note that with the
battery disconnected or removed, the
alarm system is de-activated.
Bodywork
Thoroughly clean the inside and
outside of the vehicle and allow to dry
thoroughly. If necessary, use a pressure
washer to remove dirt and salt deposits
from the underside, see page 230 for
further pressure washer information.
Tyres
Increase the tyre pressures to between
3 -3.5 bar and put a reminder note on
the windscreen. If possible, move the
vehicle slightly every month to help
avoid flat spots on the tyres.
Brakes
Chock the road wheels and leave the
parking brake off.
Interior Trim
Unless the garage is equipped with
a de-humidifier, the use of drying
agents (Silica-Gel) is recommended in
vehicles with leather upholstery and in
conditions of high humidity.
Air Conditioning
Prior To Storage
The air conditioning system should
be in good working order and fully
charged.
After Storage
Initial Engine Start
If the vehicle has been stored (and/or
the engine not started for a period of 6
months of more), the air conditioning
system should be switched on and the
engine speed (revs), limited to 2,000
rpm for the first 2-minutes after engine
start-up.
