Emira Handbook

Radar detector, where allowed. GoPro for track day filming.

Most of the radar detectors don't have a USB capable port, not sure if you know of an adapter?

 

[TomE]

I've never used one so not familiar with how they're powered, but assumed these days most in-car things are USB powered.

I wish in the case of radar detectors -- almost all of them use RJ11 connectors (Escort/Valentine)

 

[Pugwash]

How cool is this! They thought to supply power on the rear view mirror. What else can be powered up there?

After market electric sunroof?

I'm actually surprised there is just one USB-C port and it's in the center console. I'd expect it to be the other way around.

Found this is what we need for the escort radar, sure there will be others

Main Handbook page 134 for the rear view mirror USB port, same as before.

It looks like the revision dates and total numbers of pages haven't changed. Not done a full comparison so there may be changes within the text.

The typos saying "Apple Careplay" have been corrected, so the forum proof-reading service has clearly been taken into account

Edit: if you download the documents rather than open directly to view, then the files names have all changed to "-v2". So despite the revision date being unchanged it does look like they've revised them.

Look page 23 on emira quick start guide

 

[Lotustoronto]

The example VIN in the handbook starts with an L . A sign that there will be Emira's made in china? Maybe the handbook's were made by Geely in china? Doubt that would have popped up if it was done by UK solely

Looking at the maintenance guide, there appears to be no mention of a 1000 mile run-in service.

Lots of other modern cars seem to have done away with this. Wonder if Lotus have too?

It does coincide with the information on the servicing pack as there’s no mention of running in service there too.

Page 173 mentions 1000 mile run in but no service

Page 173 mentions 1000 mile run in but no service

When I talked with the tech rep at the Emira roadshow event he said the 1k service was just bringing it in for a scan and quick check up.

I was hoping for an alternate instrument panel face that didn’t look like Atari designed it.

Round on-screen gauges would be good, and are certainly doable in software.

(Yes, I’m an old guy…)

 

[912Matt]

Looks like vanity mirror are included now too... maybe one off the back ordered items? I remember some early reviewers complaining there were no mirrors on the visors.

*I expect production cars will have the big ugly yellow/white airbag warning stickers on the outside of the visors. Hopefully these are easy to remove after delivery.

Think Matt Watson said something along the lines of “if you buy a car like this you’re probably quite vain so you’ll need a vanity mirror”

Yep, exactly what he said.

 

[Rollerskate]

I saved and uploaded a copy of the Emira Handbook here. Just be aware there are typos and not the final version so some content will likely change and some features might disappear completely.

Thank-you well done!
