Lotus Launch Control
Only selectable if Lotus Launch Control
is equipped on the vehicle. This feature
is only available for automatic
transmission model vehicles.
Lotus Launch Control can be activated
in either ‘Sport’ or ‘Track’ mode. The
most engine torque possible for this
feature is available with the vehicle set
in track mode to produce the fastest
possible acceleration from a standing
start.
WARNING: Because maximum
vehicle acceleration is achieved
using launch control, it should
only be used on a suitable track.
Under no circumstances should
this feature be used on public
roads.
Lotus Launch Control Preparation
To perform a Lotus controlled launch,
the following vehicle conditions must
be met:
– Vehicle must be stationary, with the
doors closed.
– Engine oil, coolant and transmission
fluid are all in the normal operating
temperature range.
– Steering wheel must be in the
straight-ahead position.
– All tires should be within their
recommended inflation pressures.
– There are no system faults present
causing either the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Light) or stability symbol
lamp illumination, see page 68 for
further information.
– Current vehicle mileage is more than
500 miles.
N
NOTE: Even if all other conditions
are met, a Lotus Launch control
cannot be performed until the
vehicle mileage has exceeded 500
miles.
