Lotus Evora - Electric Windows; Door Mirrors

Page 8
Lotus Service Notes Section MR
The electric window lift mechanism uses an electric motor and winder drum driving a steel cable around top
and bottom guide pulleys to a lift block. The window glass is fixed to the lift block which is guided by a vertical
rail. Fuses C9 and C10 protect the window lift motors, and C33 the control switches. The door harnesses are
routed to the scuttle area via a grommet in the 'A' post area ahead of the door hinge post.
MR.4 - DOOR MIRRORS
Rearviewmirrorsarefittedonbothdriver’sandpassenger’sdoors,andincludethefollowingfeatures:
- Electricadjustmentofmirrorglass;
- Mirrorglassheaters;
- Optionalelectricfoldflatfacility;
Mirror adjustment: Themirrorcontrolswitchislocatedinthedriver’sdoorarmrest,aheadofthedoorwindow
switches, and comprises a combined rotary selector switch and joystick. To adjust the mirror, turn the igni-
tion key to position l or ll, select the right or left hand mirror by turning the knob to the appropriate arrow, then
use the knob as a joystick to move the mirror plane in any of four directions. Note that the mirror glasses are
convex to provide a wider field of vision, but by so doing, make objects seem smaller and farther away than
when viewed through a flat glass. Take care when judging distances and approach speeds until familiarity
has been gained.
Fold at (if tted): If necessary, to reduce obstruction when parked, both mirrors may be folded flat against the
doors;turntheignitionkeytopositionlorll,selectthecentral‘fold’rotarypositiononthejoystick,andholdthe
joystick rearwards until both mirrors have stopped moving. To unfold, hold the joystick forwards until mirror
movement stops. The field of vision setting will be retained.
Mirror heating: Heating elements in the mirror glasses are energised in conjunction with that of the heated
rear screen. The switch is located in the heater control panel, and will light up amber when the heater circuits
are operating, but due to the high current demand, this function requires the engine to be running. The circuits
will turn off after the switch is pressed a second time, or the ignition is switched off, or automatically after a ten
minute period has elapsed.
Component Location
A 'mini' relay for the heater circuit is mounted in the front fuse/relay station. Mirror control switch fuse is
C33, HRS/mirror heater switch fuse C28, heater relay input fuse MC6, relay output to mirrors fuse C31.
