From the owner's manual:

Airbag Tell Tale

There is an airbag warning light (‘tell tale’) on the instrument panel which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the following airbag electrical circuits for malfunction:

  • Drivers airbag circuit;
  • Passenger airbag circuit;
  • Seatbelts pre-tensioner circuit;
  • Internal componentry of the sensor and diagnostic module.

As a bulb and circuit check, the tell tale will light briefly when the ignition is switched on, and then go out. If the lamp lights at any other time, a fault in the airbag system is indicated, which should be rectified without delay by your Lotus dealer.

I've recently touched the sensor in the driver's seat and the pre-tensioner circuits, so those are the first places to check.
