EXPLANATORY NOTES:  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Required Maintenance 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to maintain warranty validation and help ensure proper safety, emissions performance and dependability 

of the vehicle, Lotus Cars Ltd. requires that the vehicle be serviced in accordance with this schedule.  Each 

service should be performed within 9,000 miles (15,000 km) or 12 months of the previous service, whichever 

first occurs.  Any necessary repairs should be completed without delay.   

 

A cross ( X ) in the following table indicates an operation to be performed.  The corresponding box should be 

ticked when the operation has been satisfactorily performed, or the X circled if extra work and time is required.  

The approval of the customer should be obtained before any extra work is undertaken, details of which should 

be recorded in the space provided at the end of the schedule. 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Inspect’ means assess condition and test for correct operation.  Extra time is required to adjust or repair - 

advise customer beforehand if necessary. 

 

 

 

 

 

‘Check’ means test and adjust/fill or tighten as necessary.  Labour time is included. 

 

 

 

 

 

Special Operating Conditions 

 

 

 

 

If the car is subjected to one of the following 'special operating conditions', additional servicing is required:

- Regular use on unpaved or dusty roads (1,2)

- Use in mountainous areas with severe or prolonged brake usage (3)

- Frequent short trips with cold engine (esp. in cold weather/climates); and/or frequent or prolonged idling (1)

- Occasional circuit use, with repeated high rpm, wide throttle openings and high oil temperatures (1,3,4)

- Competition, or timed track use (5)   

 

 

 

Additional servicing:

1.  Oil & filter change @ 3,500 m (5,500 km) intervals.

2.  Inspect air cleaner @ 9,000 m (15,000 km) intervals, or as required.

3.  Inspect brake pads & discs @ 1,000m (1,500 km) intervals, or as required.

4.  Thorough safety check including wheels, tyres, suspension, steering and brake systems.

5.  The Lotus Elise and Exige are designed as road going sports cars.  It is recognised that owners may wish 

to use the car occassionally on closed circuit tracks to experience the car's full range of dynamic capabilities.  

However, use of the car in a competitive manner, including timed runs or laps, is not endorsed by Lotus.  This 

type of timed, competitive use will invalidate warranty and require appropriate levels of expert vehicle preparation 

and servicing. 

 

 

 

 

 

After Sales Service

To be performed within 1,000 - 1,500 miles (1,500 - 2,500 km) or 12 months of vehicle sale, whichever first 

occurs.

If carried out by the selling dealer, there is no charge to the vehicle owner for the labour content of the After 

Sales Service.  Only for materials used will a charge be made.  To maintain warranty validation, an Engine 

History Report print out from the Lotus Scan tool must be submitted to the Warranty Department.
