	Lifts, whether residential or commercial, can operate in several special modes. These vary according to the needs of the users, which means, for example, a hospital lift will have a different operating mode to a lift in an office.

These vary according to the needs of the users, which means, for example, a hospital lift will have a different operating mode to a lift in an office.

−	= Medical ~~Emergency Mode~~ =	+	= Medical emergency mode =

	Lifts with this mode are usually found in hospitals, where a rapid response is needed. The lifts need to be able to be summoned to any floor in an emergency, so each floor will have a recall key switch that, when activated, immediately selects the fastest lift – whether it is empty or carrying passengers.

	When the lift arrives at a floor, it will remain there with its doors open. The buttons will be disabled to prevent ordinary passengers from controlling the lift. Medical personnel will active the key switch and the lift will travel uninterrupted to the desired floor.		When the lift arrives at a floor, it will remain there with its doors open.

−	= Anti-~~Crime Protection Mode~~ =	+	= Anti-crime protection mode =

	This special mode forces the lift to stop at a floor that was previously pre-defined. Building security can then inspect the passengers and loads being carried. Lifts with this mode can be found in many different buildings, but is particularly useful is properties that deal with financial transactions.

−	= Sabbath ~~Service Mode~~ =	+	= Sabbath service mode =

	This mode is only found in Sabbath lifts, which are common in areas with a large Jewish population. Lifts with this mode stop at every floor so that users do not have to press buttons. These lifts use a lot of energy, as the car needs to run up and down the building stopping at levels where it is not needed.

−	= Fire ~~Service Mode~~ =	+	= Fire service mode =

	This lift mode is activated when a fire occurs in a building, and it is used by firefighters. It can be found only in firefighter’s lifts or, depending on the country or location, in all lifts. Lifts designed to aid firefighters tend to have trap doors and ladders that make rescue operations easier. Electrical components are also protected against water.

−	= Out of ~~Service Mode~~ =	+	= Out of service mode =

	While this mode is usually used to signal a lift malfunction, it can also be used for other purposes, such as maintenance, cleaning, and energy-saving. This special lift mode can be found in many different lifts and is activated by a key switch or supervisory panel. When turned on, this mode stops the lift from working and will display an ‘Out of Service’ or ‘Park’ message. Lifts can also display a specific symbol or sign that indicate the same.

	There are two different special modes regarding peak times:		There are two different special modes regarding peak times:

−	* Up peak~~: found~~ in lifts that go through a moderate or considerable amount of traffic, typically in business areas. The mode works by sending lifts one by one until a pre-determined quota of passengers is met, or when doors have been opened for a while. A lift will return to the lobby and remain there whenever it is not in use. This mode can be programmed for rush hour if needed.	+	=== Up peak ===
−	* Down peak~~: when~~ this mode is activated, lifts are sent from the lobby to several different floors, to answer calls of people leaving work. The same triggers apply here.	+
