Lotus Evora 2011 - Care of the Environment

Care of the Environment
By virtue of its light weight, constructional process and fuel
efficiency, the Lotus Evora has a low environmental impact
compared with many road cars. All drivers should, however, be
aware of the effect of engine exhaust emissions on the environ-
ment and drive in a way which minimises pollution by:
• anticipating trafc ow to avoid needless acceleration
and braking.
• usingthehighestsuitablegear.
• switchingoffratherthanidlingforlongperiods.
• drivingoffassoonasitissafetodoso;itisnotnecessaryor
beneficial to the engine to allow extended idling from cold.
• havingthecarservicedregularlyasapoorlymaintainedcar

mediately.
• consideringtheneedtousethecarforveryshortjourneys.
The emissions produced by an engine are many times greater
when cold than when warm.
