VEHICLE CARE
WARNING: Some tread patterns
are asymmetric, such that the tires
must be fitted to the wheels the
correct way round. Refer to the
‘side facing inwards’ or ‘side facing
outwards’ marking on the tire
sidewall. In addition, some tread
patterns are directional, in which
case a direction of normal rotation
arrow will be included in the tire
sidewall markings.
Winter Tires
If the car is to be used in winter or in
cold conditions, or driven on snow
covered roads, it is recommended to
fit a car set of winter tires developed
specifically for such conditions. Lotus
approves the use of winter tires in sizes
as specified in the ‘Technical Data’
section, (see page 279). The specific
tires recommended are available to
order from your Lotus Retailer.
Snow Chains
Snow chains should only be fitted
on the rear wheels in conjunction
with winter tires. Follow the fitting
and tensioning instructions supplied
with the chains. The chains should be
removed as soon as road conditions
allow. See page 279.
WARNING: Vehicle handling can
be adversely affected when driving
with snow chains.
NOTE: Using snow chains may
be prohibited in certain markets.
Always check local regulations/
laws before fitting snow chains.
