WARNING: The benefits that ABS
can provide should not encourage
you to take more risks with your
safety. ABS will not prevent a skid
caused by abrupt steering
movements or attempting to
corner too quickly. ABS does not
avoid the risk of an accident due
to inappropriate speed. The driver
is always responsible for the
judgement of safe speed.
WARNING: Always maintain a
safe distance from other vehicles
relative to the road surface and
weather conditions.
On surfaces, such as gravel or snow,
a vehicle with ABS may need a longer
stopping distance. Allow a greater fol-
lowing distance in these conditions.
The amber warning symbol
in the driver’s display should
illuminate for about 3 seconds
following ignition switch on and
then extinguish. If the symbol
remains illuminated, or comes
on whilst driving, an ABS fault
has been detected and it is not
operating.
The braking system will continue to
operate normally, but without ABS
operating, braking distances may
increase. The vehicle may continue to
be driven with appropriate care and
anticipation but contact your Lotus
Retailer at the earliest opportunity.
The ABS braking system is calibrated
for the tyre and wheel size(s) recom-
mended for the vehicle. If incorrect
wheels or tyres are fitted, the ABS
braking module may receive incorrect
information from its sensors resulting
in reduced ABS performance.
WARNING: Only fit wheels
and tyres of the correct sizes
recommended for this vehicle.
Hydraulic Brake Assist
Hydraulic Brake Assist detects an
emergency situation by measuring the
braking reaction and brake pressure
build-up. In case of insufficient brake
pressure, the HBA system increases
braking force (up to the force until the
ABS system is engaged), to ensure the
shortest stopping distance possible.
Traction Control System
The traction control system detects any
excessive amount of wheelspin from
the rear wheels. The system will reduce
the engine power output and apply
braking to the spinning wheel until grip
is restored.
If this indicator symbol is
flashing in the driver display
when a rear wheel is spinning
excessively, then traction control
intervention is taking place
and the driving style should be
modified accordingly.
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
operating as part of the traction control
system, enhances vehicle stability in
extreme manoeuvres such as accident
avoidance attempts or misjudged
cornering demands at which time
engine power output is reduced and
braking to individual wheels is applied.
