Introduction

Lotus is a British car manufacturer that was founded in 1952 by Colin Chapman. The company has a long and storied history in motorsports and is known for its lightweight, agile sports cars. Lotus has also had a significant impact on the automotive industry, pioneering many new technologies and design concepts.

The company’s first car, the Lotus Mark I, was built in 1948 and was based on a modified Austin 7 chassis. The Mark I was followed by a series of successful race cars, including the Lotus Eleven and the Lotus Seven. These cars were known for their lightweight and nimble handling, which made them highly competitive on the track.

In 1957, Lotus introduced the Elite, which was the company’s first road car. The Elite was a breakthrough design, featuring a fiberglass body and a tubular steel chassis. This combination of materials resulted in a car that was both lightweight and strong. The Elite was also notable for its aerodynamic design, which was ahead of its time.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Lotus continued to produce successful race cars, including the Lotus 25, which was the first car to feature a fully stressed monocoque chassis. This design concept has since become standard in modern race cars.

In the 1980s, Lotus began to focus more on road cars and introduced the Esprit, which became one of the company’s most iconic models. The Esprit was a mid-engine sports car that was both fast and beautiful. It was also featured in the James Bond film “The Spy Who Loved Me”, which helped to raise its profile.

In the 1990s, Lotus developed a series of high-performance engines for other car manufacturers, including the Lotus Carlton, which was a joint venture with Vauxhall. Lotus also developed the engine for the first-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, which became a best-seller.

In recent years, Lotus has continued to innovate, introducing the Evora, which is a mid-engine sports car that is both lightweight and powerful. The company has also developed a new line of electric vehicles, including the Evija, which is a hypercar that is capable of reaching speeds of over 200 mph.

Throughout its history, Lotus has been known for its innovative designs and commitment to performance. The company has won numerous championships in motorsports and has established itself as a leader in automotive engineering. Today, Lotus continues to push the boundaries of what is possible and remains one of the most respected names in the automotive industry.

2022 Lotus Emira Main Handbook Wipers and Washers Information

Welcome to the Main Handbook for the 2022 Lotus Emira, where we delve into the intricate aspects of this amazing vehicle. In this segment, we’ll look at the Wipers and Washers system, which is designed to provide excellent vision and safety in a variety of driving circumstances. This guidebook will guide you through the intricate processes that enrich your driving experience in the Lotus Emira, from rain-sensing wipers to precision washer controls.

Wipers/Washers

Wipers
To operate, move the stalk positioned on the right-hand side of the steering wheel to the required setting.

Windscreen wipers off.
Single wipe: Press the stalk downwards from the 0 position and release, the wiper will sweep over the screen once at slow speed. Hold the stalk downwards for further slow sweeps until released.

CAUTION: Before using the wiper check that the blade is not frozen and any snow or ice is scraped off of the windscreen.

Intermittent Wiping
AUT Set the wiper sweep interval by rotating the ring on the end of the stalk, upwards to increase the sweep interval, downwards to decrease the interval.

CAUTION: Check the condition of the wiper blade regularly. A worn or damaged wiper blade rubber may not clean the windscreen properly.

Continuous Wiping
Wipers operate continuously at normal speed.
Wipers operate continuously at high speed.

Rain Sensor Wiping

The windscreen wipers activate automatically relative to the intensity of any rainfall sensed on the windscreen.

The rain sensor is activated when the ignition is set to I or II with the wiper stalk in AUT position.

The rain sensor symbol illuminates in the driver display when the function is activated.

Press the button to activate the rain sensor, the symbol in the driver’s display will also illuminate.

Rotate the ring on the end of the stalk, upwards for greater sensitivity and downwards for less sensitivity. An extra sweep of the wiper blade is made when the ring is rotated upwards.

WARNING: Do not use the rain sensing function if there is the potential risk that rain or washer fluid could freeze on the windscreen, this may obscure your vision.

Automatic Car Washes

CAUTION: The windscreen wipers could start sweeping and become damaged in an automatic car wash. Ensure that the rain sensor function is deactivated when the engine is running or when the vehicle›s electrical system is in ignition position I or II. The symbol in the driver display is extinguished when the vehicle is in an automatic car wash.

Deactivating Rain Sensor Wiping
Press the button again or move the wiper stalk upwards to another wiper setting.

In ignition position 0 or when the engine is switched off it is automatically deactivated.

Windscreen Washers

Pull the wiper stalk towards you to activate the washers. The wipers will also sweep the windscreen several times.

CAUTION: Use plenty of washer fluid when the wipers are cleaning the windscreen. The windscreen must be wet when the windscreen wipers are operating.

Washer Fluid Level
This symbol and a notification message will be shown in the driver’s display if the fluid level becomes low in the washer fluid reservoir.

Power Door Windows

You can operate both of the vehicle’s power windows using the window switches from the control panel in the driver’s door panel. The passenger can operate their window by using the window switch in their door panel.

Moving the switches up or down slightly will raise or lower the windows for as long as the switches are held in position.

Moving the switches up or down fully, and then releasing will raise or lower the windows automatically to their end positions.

WARNING: Careless window operation could be dangerous, especially to children. Ensure that all passengers are also made aware of this danger.

WARNING: Do not leave children or animals in a parked car with the windows fully closed in hot weather conditions.

The vehicle must be in ignition mode I or II to operate the power windows. The power windows can be operated for a few minutes in ignition mode 0, (but not after a door has been opened). It is only possible to operate one switch at a time.

Automatic Drop/Raise

To ease door closure and optimise the sealing of the door glasses against the door seals, a fully raised window will automatically drop a small distance when the door is opened and rise again after the door is shut.

Pinch Protection

If either of the door windows is blocked by any object while opening or closing, the movement stops and then automatically reverses by 50 mm approximately from the blocked position (or to fully open position).

To override pinch protection when closing has been cancelled, e.g., when ice is formed, continue to press the window switch in the required direction.

If the battery supply is interrupted, the one touch down, auto drop and pinch protection features will not function which could increase risk of damage to the door window seals.

2022 Lotus Emira Main Handbook Seat Belt Guidelines

The 2022 Lotus Emira is a monument to the harmonious blending of performance, grace, and safety in the rich tapestry of automotive engineering and design. This handbook has a chapter dedicated to one of the most important components of any journey: the seat belt.

This part is more than just a set of instructions; it’s a story weaved around the essence of safety, a trip through the precise engineering, invention, and unrelenting dedication to your safety. You’ll discover the subtle nuances, technological marvels, and the critical relevance of every click as you fasten yourself into the grip of this sports automobile within these pages. So, let’s dive into the relevance of the seat belt in the Lotus Emira 2022. Discover not just the hows, but also the whys of its design, the science behind its functionality, and the unshakable commitment it has to ensuring that every drive, every time spent behind the wheel, is not only exhilarating, but also safe.

Seatbelts

WARNING: Heavy braking may result in serious personal injury if the seatbelts are not used.

Inertia Reel Seat Belts
Inertia reel seat belts allow forward movement of the upper body under normal driving conditions, but the belt will lock automatically during braking, acceleration, cornering forces, or on impact in a collision. Locking will also occur if the vehicle is tilted in any direction.

Seat Belt Pretensioners

A severe frontal impact sufficient to trigger the airbag system activates pretensioners within both front seat belt retractors, tightening the belts to increase occupant protection.

WARNING: Seat belts are designed to work with the airbag system. if a seatbelt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

WARNING: It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly and check the seat belt anchorage points if the vehicle has been subjected to a severe impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. The seat belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated, or damaged. Inspect regularly.
WARNING: No one should travel in a seat with an inoperative seat belt.
WARNING: Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in them not working properly when needed. Check the belts regularly and have any problem corrected immediately.
WARNING: No modifications or additions should be made to the seat belts.
WARNING: Do not insert any foreign objects into a buckle. In the event of a collision the seatbelts may not function as intended.

Wearing a Seat Belt
Before driving, ensure that the driver and passenger always wear seat belts and wear them properly.
Ensure that you are seated comfortably and the vehicle controls, foot pedals and steering wheel are within easy reach.

Fitting

Sit erect and fully back in the seat. Hold the seat belt tongue, pull it across the body and withdraw the belt from the retractor.
Lay the belt over the body before pushing the belt tongue into the buckle lock at the inboard side of the seat until a positive ‘click’ is heard.
Pull on the belt to check for correct latching and ensure that the belt fits firmly against the body with all the slack taken up by the reel.

The belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis (not over the abdomen) and across the chest and shoulder.

WARNING: Ensure that no part of the belt is twisted or is entangled in the door or seat mechanism.
WARNING: Never use one belt around two people or allow a child to be carried on a driver’s or passenger’s lap.
WARNING: Do not clip or hook the seatbelt to hooks or other interior fittings, as this will prevent the belt from tightening properly.
WARNING: Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash.

Releasing

Press the red button on the belt buckle, then let the belt retract.
If the belt does not fully retract, feed it back into the reel by hand so that it is not loose.

Fitting During Pregnancy

Pregnant drivers should always wear seat belts to protect both themselves and their unborn child.
The diagonal section of the belt should wrap over the shoulder and then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.
The lap belt portion of the belt should be kept as low as possible under the abdomen and it must not be allowed to ride upward. Remove any slack from the reel, ensuring it fits as close to the body as possible.
Pregnant drivers must adjust the seat and steering wheel positions to maintain the largest distance possible between abdomen and steering wheel, but ensuring that the foot pedals and steering wheel can still be easily operated whilst driving.
To maintain control of the vehicle as pregnancy progresses, further seat and steering wheel adjustments may be required.
A doctor should regularly be consulted as to the advisability of driving during pregnancy.

Door/Seat Belt Reminder
The reminder alerts unbelted occupants to wear a seatbelt.

Driver’s Display
The graphic in the driver’s display will highlight which seats are occupied and also if the seat belts are belted or unbelted.
With the engine running, the display will also warn if a door, front access panel or tailgate is open. The display indicating the opening to be closed will turn red if the vehicle is moving.
The graphic can be extinguished by pressing the central ‘O’/confirm button on the right-hand steering wheel keypad.

If the vehicle is driven at a speed lower than 6 mph, then the information symbol in the driver’s display will illuminate.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed higher than 6 mph, then the warning symbol in the driver’s display will illuminate.

Overhead Console
A visual and audible reminder alert the vehicle occupants if a seatbelt is not being worn. The audible reminder is de-pendent on vehicle speed.

Child Safety
Statistics show that children are safer when properly restrained in the back seat of a vehicle, an option unavailable in this vehicle. In addition, a passenger airbag is fitted, producing a serious risk to children – particularly infants and small children. If a child is to be carried in the vehicle passenger seat, the following notes are provided for guidance:
The standard seat and seat belt should be used when a child is of a physical size that the standard fitment lap and diagonal seat belt will fit satisfactorily, with the belt positioned over the collar bone and against the centre of the chest.
All children regardless of age and size must always sit correctly secured in the vehicle. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of the passenger.

Child Restraints
A suitable booster cushion or child seat should be used if the belt touches or crosses the child’s neck or if required by law. This advice also applies to any adult of small stature.

Suitable Child Seats
Only universal child seats are suitable for the Emira.

Child Seat Installation

Front Facing Child Seat
When fitting a front facing child seat, ensure that the passenger airbag is activated.

Rearward Facing Child Seat
Children who are unable to sit up by themselves unsupported must be carried only in rearward facing child seat.

When fitting a rearward facing child seat, ensure that the passenger airbag is deactivated.

A warning label for the passenger air-bag system is located on the passenger side of the headlining above the wind-screen, or on the sun visor if fitted.

WARNING: Front-facing passengers (children and adults) must never sit on the passenger seat if the passenger airbag is deactivated.

WARNING: Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of the passenger seat.

WARNING: Failure to follow the information given regarding
seat belts, child seats and airbag systems can endanger life or lead to serious personal injury.

NOTE: When using child safety equipment, it is important to read the installation instructions included and fit the equipment properly. In the event of questions when fitting child safety equipment, con-tact the manufacturer for further information.

NOTE: Never leave a child seat loose in the vehicle. Always secure it in accordance to its installation instructions, even when it is not in use.

NOTE: Long-term fitment of a child seat may cause wear to the vehicle seat and interior which is not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Suitable Child Seats

Only universal child seats are suitable for the Emira. ‘Universal’ means the seat is approved for installation in all cars, although you should check that the child seat you select fits well in the passenger seat of your Emira. The table indicates the installation options for a universally approved child seat fixed with the Emira 3-point seat belt.
