Coolant Drain/Refill Procedure
The cooling system of the Lotus Evora has been carefully
optimised to allow the required cooling performance using the
minimum volume of coolant. This provides for high cooling sys-
tem efficiency, with quick engine warm up and interior heating.
When refilling the cooling system, it is vital to ensure that the
correct bleeding procedure is followed, and that no air pockets re-
main. This operation should be entrusted to your Lotus dealer.
Washer Reservoir
The reservoir for both the windscreen washer and headlamp
powerwash, is situated ahead of the left hand front wheelarch,
with a filler provided beneath the front body access hatch. Re-
lease the hatch by pushing down the lever at the inboard side
of both front footwells (see page 110). The hatch may then be
lifted fully open.
The reservoir filler cap is identified by its blue colour and
may be prised off. Top up with clean water and a suitable pro
prietary solvent, and refit the cap securely. Press the access
hatch firmly shut.
NOTICE
Do NOT use radiator antifreeze in the reservoir as
this could seriously damage the paintwork and/or some plastic
components.
An amber tell tale in the instrument panel is provided to warn
of low fluid level in the washer reservoir. A bulb check will light
