Safety Mode
Safety mode is activated if one or
more of the safety systems such as
the airbags or seat belt pre-tensioners
have deployed. The collision may have
damaged an important function in
the vehicle, such as the fuel/braking
system or sensors for one of the safety
systems etc.
If the vehicle has been in a collision,
but the driver’s display and the
vehicle’s electrical system is still
functioning, the message ‘Safety Mode
See Owner’s Manual’ and a warning
symbol may be shown in the driver’s
display. When in Safety Mode, the
vehicle’s has reduced functionality.
WARNING: Never attempt to
restart the vehicle if you detect
the smell of fuel or see any signs
of fuel leakage. Leave the vehicle
immediately.
Dependent upon the damage to the
vehicle, it may be possible to reset the
system to start and move the vehicle
for the shortest distance possible,
(such as to move the vehicle away from
a dangerous traffic situation).
WARNING: The vehicle should be
inspected after any collision by a
Lotus Retailer. Some of the
functions may have been lost even
if the vehicle does not appear to be
damaged.
WARNING: If the vehicle is in
safety mode it must not be driven
or towed. It must be transported on
a flatbed recovery truck to a Lotus
Retailer for inspection/repairs.
