Use A code 51, B code D2.
Note: The SW download does not require constant technician attendance, but only occasional

download. When leaving the vehicle unattended to complete the download, ensure:
- A suitable battery support unit (minimum of 100A) is connected to the vehicle battery.
- The Wi-Fi connection is stable and not interrupted – a poor Wi-Fi connection will slow down SW
download.
- Ensure the Lotus Insight Tool is powered during download, (the settings can be configured never to
sleep when on battery or when power plugged in).
- Do not disturb the VCI connection to the vehicle or USB connection to the Insight Tool to prevent a
failed SW download.
Note: All software downloads are recorded by the Emira Diagnostic System and are periodically
checked by Lotus as part of the warranty auditing procedure.
