2007 Lancia Thesis cooling

165
The “parked-car heater” mode is
automatically deactivated when one
of the following conditions takes
place:
– engine started
– limit time (around 30 minutes) of
heater and/or coolant pump func-
tioning overcome
– turn off requested by the user
through the CONNECT
– malfunction detected by the heater
control unit
– partial battery run-down or alter-
nator fault.
“Timer 1” and “Timer 2”
The “Timer” options shall be used
to programme two heater daily cycles;
for each cycle enter the time of acti-
vation and the length of operation
both with 5 minute intervals.
Each cycle cannot last more than 60
minutes. The default operation is 15
minutes. The timer works regardless
of the ignition key position.During heater operation, messages
referred to the following conditions
are shown on CONNECT display:
– fuel level in reserve (continue any-
way?)
– fuel level in reserve. Parked-car
heater has been switched off
– parked-car heater not operating
because of cooling down
– parked-car heater not operating
because external temperature is
higher than 20 °C
– parked-car heater not operating
because motor is on
– parked-car heater has been
switched off because of low voltage.IMPORTANTFor safety reasons,
the timer must be programmed/con-
firmed at any activation and con-
firmed not later than 24 hours since
programming. In addition, the user
must confirm every time the timer ac-
tivation. The timer does not automat-
ically correct standard time.
The timer can be in one of the fol-
lowing conditions:
– off: in this condition the timer is
programmable and parameters can be
loaded or adjusted. Loaded parame-
ters should be valued and approved
by CONNECT
– on: activated parameters approved
by CONNECT are stored in the mem-
ory. The user confirms the set cycle
waiting for the programmed activa-
tion moment which is indicated on the
CONNECT display
– active: the heater is working in
“programmable heater” mode con-
trolled by the timer present on the
CONNECT display. When the timer
is activated, the CONNECT records
the system conditions

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.

SAFE DRIVING
In designing THESIS, LANCIA has
made every effort to come up with a
car able to provide driver and pas-
senger with top-class levels of safety.
Nevertheless it is always the behav-
iour of the person at the wheel that
determines road safety.
Below you will find some simple
tips to help you travel in safety
under different conditions. You will
no doubt be familiar with many of
them already, but it will be useful to
read them all carefully.
BEFORE GETTING BEHIND
THE WHEEL
– Make sure all lights, including
the headlights, are working proper-
ly.
– Adjust the position of the seats,
steering wheel, driving and door
mirrors properly for the best driving
position.
– Carefully adjust the head
restraints so that the back of the
head and not the nape of the neck is
supported. Make sure that nothing (mats etc.)
gets in the way of the pedals when
they are pushed down.
– Make sure that any child
restraint systems (child seats, carri-
ers etc.) are properly fixed on the
rear seat.
– Place any objects in the boot in
such a way that they cannot be
thrown forwards in the event of an
accident.
– Do not eat a heavy meal before
travelling. Light eating will help
keep your reflexes prompt. Above
all, do not have anything alcoholic to
drink.
Periodically, remember to check:
– tyre pressure and conditions;
– engine oil level;
– coolant level and cooling system
conditions;
– brake fluid level;
– power steering fluid level;
– windscreen washer fluid level. WHEN TRAVELLING
– The first rule of safe driving is
prudence.
– Prudence also means putting
yourself into a position where you
can predict wrong or imprudent
behaviour from other drivers.
– Stick closely to the rules of the
road in the particular country where
the vehicle is being driven and,
above all, do not exceed speed limits.
– Ensure that, besides yourself, all
the other passengers in the vehicle
have their seat belts fastened, that
children are sitting in the appropri-
ate child seats and any animals in
the car are placed in suitable com-
partments.
– You should be physically fit and
mentally alert before setting out on
long journeys.

USING THE CAR AGAIN
Before using the car again after a
prolonged period of inactivity, the
following operations are recom-
mended:
– Do not dry-dust the car body.
– Check for fluid leaks (oil, brake
and clutch fluid, engine coolant
etc.).
– Change engine oil and filter.
– Check the level of:
– brake and clutch fluid
– engine coolant.
– Check the air cleaner and change
it, if required.
– Check the tyre pressure and the
tyres for signs of damage, cuts or
cracks. If this is the case, have them
replaced.
– Check the engine belt conditions.STORING THE CAR
The following precautions should
be taken if the car will not be used
for several months:
– Park the car in covered, dry and
if possible well-ventilated premises.
– Engage a gear.
– If the car is parked on flat
ground, disengage the electric park-
ing brake as described in the rele-
vant paragraph.
– Clean and protect the painted
parts using protective wax.
– Sprinkle talcum powder on the
rubber windscreen and rear window
wiper blades and lift them off the
glass.
– Slightly open the windows.
– Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar above
the normal specified pressure, lean
them on wood boards, if possible
and check it at intervals.– Do not switch the electronic
alarm system on.
– Remove the negative cable (-)
from the battery terminal and check
the battery charge. This check
should be performed every month if
the car is to be stored for long peri-
ods. Recharge the battery if it falls
below 12.5V.
IMPORTANT Before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet to dis-
connect the battery, carefully read
and comply with instructions con-
tained in the paragraph “If battery is
to be disconnected” in the chapter
“In an emergency”.
– Do not drain the engine cooling
system.
– Cover the car with a cloth or per-
forated plastic sheet. Do not use
sheets of non-perforated plastic as
they do not allow moisture on the
body to evaporate.

IF AN EXTERIOR
BULB BURNS OUT
FRONT LIGHT CLUSTER
The front light cluster includes
main beam headlights/dipped beam
headlights, additional main beam
headlights, direction indicators and
sidelights.Light layout is the following
(fig. 23):
A– Main beam headlight/dipped
beam headlight (bi-Xeno bulb)
B– Sidelight
C– Additional main beam head-
light
D– Direction indicator.Any operation on the
front light cluster must be
made with the stalk at 0
(lights off) and ignition key
removed for at least 15 minutes
(to let bulb cooling and con-
densers discharging): risk of elec-
trical discharge!
fig. 23
L0A0106b
To replace front head-
light bulbs, front light
clusters shall be removed.
It is therefore recommended to
the bulbs replaced at Lancia
Dealership.Due to high voltage, the
bulb of bi-Xeno gas-dis-
charge headlights must
only be replaced by experts: dan-
ger of death! Contact the Lancia
Dealership.

The engine cooling sys-
tem works with PARAFLU
UP. Top up only with the
same fluid contained in the cool-
ing circuit. PARAFLU UP cannot
be mixed up with PARAFLU 11 or
other fluids. Should this take
place, do not start the engine and
contact a Lancia Dealership. In
case of need, lacking the speci-
fied fluid, top up with water and
contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the proper proportions
restored.
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap with a
genuine spare part to avoid com-
promising the system efficiency.
The mixture of distilled water
and PARAFLU gives freeze pro-
tection down to -35°C. POWER STEERING FLUID
(fig. 14-15)
Fluid level in the reservoir should
be at the maximum.
This check should be performed
when the engine is cold and with the
car on level ground.
For topping up, remove cap A,
after loosening the fastening screws
Bwith the wrench provided (in the
tool bag), then remove hose Cand
loosen cap D.
Check that the level reaches the
MAXreference line on the dipstick
integral with the reservoir cap (for
cold check use the level indicated on
the 20 °C side of the dipstick).If the fluid level in the reservoir is
below the specified one, top up only
with one of the products shown in
table “Fluids and lubricants” in
chapter “Technical Specifications”
proceeding as follows:
– Start the engine and wait for the
oil level in the reservoir to stabilise.
– With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel lock to lock a few
minutes.
– Top up to the MAXreference line
and then refit the cap D.
