Emira Handbook

[JohnHoward]

I e.mailed Customer Care on Monday morning to ask about the availability of the Emira handbook and any other relevant documentation that may be in downloadable form. They replied to say that they have asked for more information from the relevant teams and will get back to me to advise if/when any such information may be available.
I will of course update this thread as soon as I hear anything further.

I'm sure they'll publish one around 6 months after you need it, and it'll definitely be worth the wait, with the I4 handbook taking around a year longer.
Patience!!

I contacted Lotus last Monday as indicated above. I sent an e.mail last Friday to chase it up and I have just had a reply to say they are still waiting for information from the relevant teams.
It seems that it is not just the manufacturing side that is in disarray.

From the handbook page 11

"The owner’s handbook is available in
digital and printed formats. It can be
viewed from the Emira mobile app and
on the Lotus Cars website"

I wonder what the the mobile app will do?

You're a superstar!

Lots of reading, a stack of useful info and no doubt a lot of questions to follow.

Nifty feature…

 

[TomE]

Yes, particularly as they'd said as recently as Goodwood there was no USB in the overhead console. I've added this good news to the dashcam thread.

I wonder if this map view will only support the native Emira navigation system or if your Android Auto Google Maps or Apple Carplay navigation will display on screen as well? Maybe that will only be available on the tablet screen? No one ever uses the built in manufacturer nav, so it would only be useful to me if Android Auto nav is displayed in the main driver center screen.

Coming from Elises and an Exige, most of the functions in these handbooks represent a kind of unfathomable witchcraft to me!

252 pages? I think I prefer the Exige handbook. Essentially "get in, press button, go fast".

This bit is interesting about the diamond cut wheels.. And I assume the adjustable dampers and j hook rotors are referring to the GT4...

 

[TomE]

That's fairly typical for DC wheels, as the finish is more fragile. When my Evora wheels were refurbished 2-3 years ago they would only warrant them for 12 months. I don't think the original handbook/warranty made specific mention of them, but that was 11 years ago.

140mm of ground clearance? That has certainly increased from Evora.

This is a bit concerning as it's easy to have the key in a jacket pocket or a bag and then decide to put that in the boot, which would then lock yourself out. My Nissan GT-R prevents the boot from being shut if it detects that the fob is inside for that very reason.

Good to see that Lotus are still including track use in the Warranty and that the Roadside Assistance covers the three years of the Warranty, unlike many others... I'm looking at you VW.

There is hill-hold:

Hill Start Assist The Hill Start Assist System helps prevent the risk of unintended vehicle movement when driving away from an incline. When stopped on an incline, the Hill Start Assist System will hold the brakes on for a further two seconds after releasing the footbrake. The brakes will automatically release after two seconds or as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate forward (whichever is the soonest).

140mm of ground clearance? That has certainly increased from Evora.

And increased from the 125mm in the original Emira product specification. It must be because of the extra wheel gap
