Remove lower steering column cowl, remove grommet from LHS of cowl.

 

Insert switch through the pre-drilled hole and connect the green plug socket arrangement.

 

EP (Engine Protection) Valve Override Switch (If fitted)

The EP valve may be returned to the closed position whilst the vehicle is in ‘Race’ or Lotus DPM 'Off' mode by a momentary press of the override switch located on the left hand side of the steering column console. This may be required if driving the vehicle on a noise restricted track.

Alternatively if pressed whilst in ‘Tour’ or ‘Sport’ mode, the EP valve will open regardless of the vehicle road speed.

Note: Even if overridden, the EP valve will automatically open if the engine speed exceeds 5500rpm to reduce excessive exhaust back pressure. The EP valve will return to the closed position when the ignition is switched off.

Hi Darryl

 

Did you fit the switch as described to your non Race Pack Exige? Was the retrofit successful?

I took the lower cowl off to fit a bluetooth mic for my new head unit, and voila there was the loose socket.

 

Definitely worth a go if it's only a switch.
