Care Points- Ensure that NO tyre lubrication products such astyresoapetcpartiallyorcompletelycoverthepressuremeasuringholeortheinflationholeofthewheel unit.

- The tyre must not come into contact with the trans-mitterduringfitment.

- Ensure that the tyre does not get trapped between the wheel rim and the transmitter.

CLASS 4

TITLE:Ensuring the variant code is applicable for manual transmission Evora 400 models using Lotus Tech-centre.

REASON:To provide owners in all markets with the benefits of the manual transmission oil cooling system, (which was originally fitted only to Federal Evora and Sport 410 models), production build was standardized from the beginning of ‘17 model year onwards with the fitment of manual transmission cooling system to all Evora 400 vehicles. Refer to service notes section FR.7 for further information.

Records indicate that there is a possibility that some ‘17MY Non-Federal Evora 400 and Sport 410 models fitted with manual transmission cooling system prior to '17 model year VIN HHC11120 may not operate as intended because this variant code option was not configured at the time of production.

ACTION:Under normal driving conditions cooling pump activation is not required as the transmission oil will not exceed its normal operational temperature range and therefore the owner may not be aware that the system is inoperative.

To check that that the system operates as intended and ensure that there are no airlocks within the cooler circuit, using Lotus TechCentre, the variant code should be inspected and reset as required on any manual Evora 400 and Sport 410 models within the model year/VIN range as stated above.

Procedure1.Connect the vehicle to Lotus TechCentre, from main menu screen select the the 'VIN Read' option

and the vehicle details should be displayed

2. From the main menu, select 'EMS (Engine Management)'

Continued....

Testing the pump

Return to the “VIN Read” screen using the button shown below:

GK.5 - TYRES

Exige S & Exige Sport 350 (refer to following page for Exige Sport 380 and Exige Cup 380 models)The Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres fitted as standard production for the 'Sports' option are suitable for all normal weather conditions. The tyre characteristics include good feedback (‘feel’) from the road surface to the steer-ing wheel, a high level of steering linearity and response, and little performance degradation with the raised temperatures which may be reached in high speed use.

Although approved for road use*, the Pirelli P-Zero Corsa Trofeo tyres fitted as part of the ‘Race’ pack option are primarily designed for racetrack driving. In the event of wet road conditions with the risk of aquaplaning, prudent driving at a reduced road speed is recommended.

*Note: (Available as a dealer option only after October 2014).

Trofeo Tyre FitmentThe different construction of the Trofeo tyre requires an increased inflation pressure to seat the tyre on the Exige S styled rim.

Pirelli has advised a 5.0 bar maximum pressure when using manual mounting methods to seat the Trofeo tyre on the rim.

Note: To ensure technician safety, the wheel/tyre assembly should be position in a cage whilst attempt-ing to seat the tyre on the rim due to the increased pressure requirements.

Tyre performance will decrease at low ambient temperatures, resulting in reduced levels of grip and an increased susceptibility to damage from impacts. In these conditions, especially where average temperatures are below 0°C (32°F), or where snow may be expected, it is recommended to fit a car set of the recommended winter tyres, see sub-section GJ.6 for additional information.

Note that the Pirelli P-Zero tread pattern is asymmetrical, so that when fitting tyres, attention must be paid to the sidewall marking, and the side of the car for which the wheel and tyre is intended.

Wear indicators are moulded into the bottom of the tread grooves at intervals around the tyre, indi-cated by small pointers on the outer tread blocks. The tyres should be replaced before being worn to this minimum legal tread depth.

Tyres Type - std. Pirelli P-Zero Corsa - opt. Pirelli P Zero Trofeo *Note: Available as a dealer option only after October 2014.Size - front 205/45 ZR17 - 88Y - rear 265/35 ZR18 - 97Y (std.) 93Y (opt.)

Standard Pressures (cold) - front - std & opt. 2.2 bar (31.9 lb/in²) - rear - std & opt. 2.6 bar (38 lb/in²)

Economy Pressures (cold)‡Automatic vehicles only - Front - std tyres only 2.6 bar (38.0 lb/in²) - Rear - std tyres only 3.0 bar (43.5 lb/in²)

‡NOTE: Inflating the tyres to the ‘economy’ tyre pressures of 2.6 bar (front) and 3.0 bar (rear) will adversely affect the handling characteristics and the drivers enjoyment of the car. Lotus does not recommend these tyre pressures are used at speeds in excess of 80mph (128kph).

WARNING:- Use of the aerosol does not constitute a permanent repair, but is designed to allow the car to be driven

to the nearest tyre depot. At the earliest opportunity, the tyre should be professionally repaired or replaced dependent on the severity of the damage.

- Do not use the aerosol for large holes or repairs, or when the tyre sidewall has been damaged, or if the tyre has been displaced from the rim.

- For safety reasons, the aerosol should be carried at all times in the designated stowage position. Never carry in the passenger compartment.
