2007 Lancia Thesis stop start

63
Stored position are recalled only if
the required position is different
from the current one and is not pos-
sible when the car speed exceeds 10
km/h.
Seats can be moved only when the
ignition key is at MARand, for
about 1 minute, also after removing
the key or turning it to STOP: dur-
ing this time, the external rear view
mirrors will not move, but when the
car is started again, they will be
automatically realigned together
with the seat position (see paragraph
“Automatic realignment of external
rear view mirrors”).
If stored seat position recalling is
still in course after this time has
elapsed, recalling will be concluded
in any case.If the engine is started during the
recalling stage, seat moving will be
stopped; once this stage is over the
seat will return automatically to the
stored position.
IMPORTANTPressing any of
memorisation or adjustment buttons
during the recalling stage, causes the
immediate stop of the seat (antipan-
ic mode).
Storing the “parking” position of
the external rear view mirror on
passenger side
You can achieve better visibility
during manoeuvres in reverse gear
(for instance, when parking the car)
by adjusting the external passenger
rear view mirror to a different posi-
tion from the one normally used.
This position can be stored by the
driver.To store the position proceed as
follows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear;
– adjust the position of the external
passenger rear view mirror by means
of the respective controls so as to
obtain the optimum position for the
parking manoeuvre;
– press down for at least 3 seconds
any of buttons “1”, “2” or “3” (fig.
46) used to store/recall the seat posi-
tion;
– together with the “parking” posi-
tion of the external passenger side
rear view mirror, also the seat posi-
tion, the driver rear view mirror
position and the driving position of
the external passenger side rear view
mirror are stored.
A sound signal warns the driver
that the mirror position has been
stored.

LOAD LIMITING DEVICES
In order to increase passive safety,
the front and rear seat belt reels
have a built-in load limiting device
which collapse in a controlled fash-
ion so to dose the force on the pas-
senger’s shoulder and chest during
the retaining operation. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and
have the vehicle occupants follow)
all the local legal regulations con-
cerning the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.The belt should not be
twisted, make sure that it
is taut and adheres to the
passenger’s body. The upper part
should pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally.
The lower part should adhere to
the pelvis and to the abdomen of
the passenger (fig. 73). Do not use
any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.)
to keep the belts away from the
body.
For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and
hips.
Make sure that the seat belts of
the front and rear passengers are
fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury
or death in a collision if you trav-
el with the belts unfastened.

Operations which lead
to knocks, vibrations or
localised heating (over
100°C for a maximum of 6 hours)
in the area around the preten-
sioners may cause damage or
trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused
by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Lancia
Dealership for any assistance.

Operating the windscreen washer
with the rain sensor activated (stalk
at position 1) the normal washing
cycle is performed at the end of
which the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic function.
The rain sensor is switched off
when the key is turned to STOP. It
will not come on again at the follow-
ing engine start-up (key at MAR)
even if the stalk is at position 1. This
will avoid accidental activation when
starting the engine that could result
in dangerous situations (e.g. manual
windscreen washing, wiper blades
sticking due to ice and risk of dam-
aging the windscreen wiper motor).
In this case to activate the rain sen-
sor, just take the stalk to position 0
or2and then to 1again, or change
sensitivity (increase or decrease)
through knurled ring A. When the rain sensor is again acti-
vated in this way, at least one wind-
screen wiper stroke occurs, even if
the windscreen is dry, to signal the
occurred re-activation.
The rain sensor is located behind
the driving mirror in contact with
the windscreen and inside the area
cleaned by the wiper and it controls
an electronic control unit which in
turns controls the wiper motor.
At starting, the rain sensor auto-
matically provides to stabilize at
about 40°C temperature to elimi-
nate, from the control surface, the
possible condensate and to prevent
the ice formation. Turning the knurled ring A(fig.
100) it is possible to increase the
sensitivity of the rain sensor, obtain-
ing a quicker change from stationary
(no flick) when the windscreen is
dry, to second continuous speed
(continuous fast wipe):
■= low sensitivity
■■= medium sensitivity
■■■= high sensitivity
■■■■= max. sensitivity.
Rain sensor sensitivity level
increase (with sensor on) is indicat-
ed by windscreen wiper flick.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERA-
TURE GAUGE WITH OVER-
HEATING WARNING LIGHT
(fig. 105)
This instrument indicates the
engine coolant temperature. It starts
signalling the temperature when this
reaches approximately 50 °C.
The needle should usually be on
middle scale values. reduce your
demand on the engine if the needle
approaches top scale values.The warning light Awill come on
together with message “ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
HIGH” on the instrument panel dis-
play to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too hot. In this case,
stop the engine immediately and
contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANTThe needle may
approach the top scale values if the
engine cooling radiator external part
is obstructed or dirty. In this case,
inspect and remove the obstructions.
Accurately clean the external part of
the radiator as soon as possible.FUEL GAUGE AND RESERVE
WARNING LIGHT (fig. 106)
The fuel reserve warning light A
will come on together with message
“REFUEL” on the instrument panel
display to indicate that there are
approximately 10 litres of fuel in the
tank.
IMPORTANTDo not travel with
the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the
catalyst.

light turns on, but it should go off
when the engine has started.
If the warning light stays on or
turns on when travelling together
with message “ENGINE CONTROL
SYSTEM FAULT” on the multi-
function display:
Glowing steadily- means a fault
in the supply/ignition system which
could cause high emissions at the
exhaust, possible lack of perfor-
mance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however
demanding heavy effort or high
speeds. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause
damages. Contact a Lancia
Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the
fault disappears but it is however
stored by the system. FRONT PASSENGER

If the ¬warning light
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
MAR or if it stays on when travel-
ling, (together with message on
display) this could indicate a fail-
ure in safety retaining systems; un-
der this condition air bags or pre-
tensioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a restricted
number of cases, they could trig-
ger accidentally. Stop the car and
contact Lancia Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.

IMPORTANTAir at a temperature
lower than that of the outside air
cannot be let in to the passenger
compartment when the compressor
is off. Furthermore, in particular
environmental conditions, the win-
dows could mist up fast because the
air is no longer dehumidified.
The setting will be stored when the
engine is stopped. Either press √
button again or press the AUTObut-
ton to reset automatic control of the
compressor (in the latter case, the
manual settings will be cancelled).
The led on the √button will go out. IMPORTANTThe air recircula-
tion function will allow, according to
the system operation (i.e. heating or
cooling) to reach the required condi-
tions faster. We recommend not
turning on this function on rainy
and/or cold days as this will consid-
erably increase window misting,
especially if the climate control sys-
tem is off.
In particular climate
conditions (e.g. low out-
side temperature or high
humidity) and with the inside air
recirculation automatic control
on, windows could start misting
up. In this case, press the air
recirculation button and set it to
forced open position (both button
leds off), and increase air flow to
the windscreen, if required.Climate control system
compressor off button (7 fig. 121)
Press the √button, when the but-
ton led is on, to switch the air condi-
tioner compressor off. The led will
go off. By pressing again the button
when the led is off, the system auto-
matic control of the compressor acti-
vation is restored; this situation is
indicated by button led lighting up.
When the air conditioner compres-
sor is off, if the system is no longer
able to keep the requested tempera-
ture, the message FULL AUTOon
the display turns off and the system
deactivates air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. Instead, if
the system is still able to maintain
the requested temperature, the mes-
sage FULLon the display will stay
on.
