2007 Lancia Thesis keyless

Before towing the car,
disengage the parking
brake by following the
instructions described in the rel-
evant paragraph, and leave the
Keyless System CID device (if
provided) inside the passenger
compartment, to avoid automatic
steering column lock. Do not tow
the car with the engine running. Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP.
Do not remove the key. If the key
is removed, the steering lock
engages automatically which pre-
vents the wheels being turned.
Disengage the handbrake. While
the car is being towed with the
engine off, remember that the
brake pedal and steering will
require more effort as you no
longer have the benefit of the
brake booster and power steer-
ing. Do not use flexible cables to
tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-
ing, ensure that the coupling to
the car does not damage the sur-
rounding components. When
towing, you must comply with the
specific traffic regulations
regarding the tow ring and how to
tow on the road.IMPORTANTFor versions with
automatic gearbox, check that the
selector is in neutral (selector to N),
that the car is moving because
pushed and act as for towing a car
with the manual gearbox, following
the above mentioned procedure.
If you cannot set the gear lever to
neutral, do not tow the car but con-
tact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANTOn versions fitted
with an identification system (Keyless
System), user is not authorised to
move the car unless the start-up knob
is turned to the position MAR. Should
it be necessary to tow the car, it is ad-
vised to turn the knob to position
MAR before moving the car.

Detergents pollute water.
For this reason the car
must be washed in an
area equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquids
used while washing.TIPS FOR KEEPING THE BODY
IN GOOD CONDITIONS
Paintwork
The paintwork is not only to make
your car look attractive but also to
protect the steel.
If the paint is scuffed or scratched
deeply you are therefore advised to
touch up as necessary to prevent rust
from forming.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see
“Bodywork paint identification
plate” in chapter “Technical
Specifications”).
Ordinary maintenance of the
paintwork means washing it. The
frequency you should do this
depends on the conditions and the
environment the car is driven in. For
example, you should wash your car
more often if it is driven in areas
with a high level of air pollution or
on road sprinkled with saltwash.Before leaving your car
into the automatic car-
wash tunnel, disengage
the parking brake following the
instructions given in the relevant
paragraph, and leave the Keyless
System CID (where fitted) in the
car to prevent automatic steering
locking.Before cleaning the
windscreen (e.g. at filling
stations), make sure to
have deactivated the rain sensor
and turned the ignition key to
STOP. Deactivate the rain sensor
also when washing your car man-
ually or at automatic carwash.
