2006 Lancia Thesis light

212
If, on the contrary, the warning
lamp remains on, go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the system
checked even if the system keeps on
working. In fact, if the fault detected
by the control unit does not affect
the operation of the system, the lat-
ter keeps on working and the mal-
function is stored in the memory so
as to be detected by the Lancia
Dealership during a subsequent
check.
GENERAL NOTES
When parking your car, always pay
the greatest attention to the obsta-
cles that could be situated above or
below the sensors. In fact, objects
situated at close range in the car’s
front or rear parts could, under cer-
tain circumstances, not be detected
by the system and, therefore, dam-
age your car or be damaged them-
selves.Moreover, signals sent by the sen-
sors can be altered by damaged sen-
sors, by accumulation of dirt, snow
or ice on the sensors, or by ultra-
sound systems (e.g. truck air brakes
or pneumatic hammers) being oper-
ated nearby.INTERIOR

DRINK COMPARTMENT
The front armrest incorporates a
climate-controlled drink compart-
ment (fig. 172) fitted with a light,
which receives air directly from the
climate control system.
This compartment allows drinks to
be kept as long as possible at the
temperature they had when they
were put inside the compartment.
The compartment can be accessed
by lifting armrestA (fig. 173)by
pulling it from handgrip B. To open the compartment air vent,
lift control A (fig. 173). To close the
vent, lower control A.
To close the compartment, lower
the armrest until it is locked; to
lower it further, press handgrip C.
IMPORTANTThis compartment
is not a fridge or a drink warmer; it
is used to maintain the temperature
of the drinks put inside it. For this
reason, the drinks must be warmed
or cooled before being put inside the
compartment.

SOLAR CELLS
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates 21 solar cells that pro-
duce a maximum power of 24 W to
feed the climate control system fan,
when the car is parked with the sun-
roof closed or in pivoting position.
Fan actuation is automatic and air
distribution corresponds to the latest
setting made before switching the
car off.
This function is useful especially on
summer days, since it greatly
reduces the temperature inside the
passenger compartment as well as
the duration of the cooling cycle
after car start-up, thus avoiding the
accumulation of warm air in the air-
conditioning unit lines.
In winter, the ventilation function
reduces dampness inside the passen-
ger compartment.EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
In case the electric actuation device
fails to operate, the sunroof can be
actuated manually, proceeding as
follows:
1)Take the Allen screw wrench D
(fig. 191) out of the tool kit and use
it to actuate the sunroof in an emer-
gency.
2)Remove front ceiling light caps
Aand B(fig. 190) by levering with
a screwdriver on the outer side (the
caps are press-fitted).
3)Take out screws C(fig. 191)
and remove the ceiling light by
releasing it from the front clamps.
IMPORTANTDo not disconnect
the ceiling light connectors.4)Insert the Allen screw wrench D
into the hexagonal seat of the sun-
roof starter motor, then turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counterclockwise to close the
sunroof.
5)After completing the closing or
opening operation, put the ceiling
light back to its place by fitting in
the front clamps first and then fixing
the rear screws.
IMPORTANTWhen refitting the
ceiling light, check that the electric
cables are positioned correctly.
6)Press-fit the screw cover caps.

BOOT
The boot can be opened both from
the outside and the inside of the car.
IMPORTANT Faulty closing of the
boot is signalled by the lighting of
the relevant symbol on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “BOOT OPEN”With the battery flat, or
after the interruption of
one of the protection
fuses, or if you want to disconnect
a loaded battery (e.g. for a car
stop period), before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
OPENING FROM THE INSIDE
Boot tailgate is opened electrically.
It can be opened only when the igni-
tion key is at MARand the car is
stopped, or for 3 minutes after turn-
ing the key to STOPwithout open-
ing or closing a door.
To open the boot, press button A
(fig. 192), placed on the central con-
sole, as follows:
– a short pressure of the button will
release the boot lock– a prolonged pressure of the but-
ton will release the lock and open
the boot.
Boot lifting is facilitated by the
action of gas dampers.
The dampers are cali-
brated so as to ensure
correct lifting of the boot
tailgate with the weights estab-
lished by the manufacturer.
Addition of extra equipment (e.g.
spoiler, etc.) can adversely affect
operation and safety of use.
