THESIS CONNECT infotelematic
system, in its most refined version,
includes: colour TV set, sound sys-
tem with cassette player, CD-
ROM/Audio CD player, CD-chang-
er, GSM cell phone, navigator, trip
computer and voice commands (for
certain functions of cell phone,
audio system and navigator).
The following pages describe the
system controls and main functions.
The car is provided with a special
supplement dealing with CONNECT
infotelematic system to be used as
quick reference guide for using the
system. Read through this supple-
ment carefully and keep it always
within reach (e.g. in the glove com-
partment).
IMPORTANTFor the navigation
system of the CONNECT, only use
only the original CD provided with
the car or, in any case other CDs of
the same brand.If you drive with the vol-
ume too high you put both
your own life and that of
others in jeopardy. You should
adjust the volume so that you can
hear noises from outside the car
(e.g. horns, ambulance/police
sirens, etc.).
CONNECT CONTROLS (fig. 2)
The CONNECT system functions
can be managed by means of 29
buttons and 2 rotating selectors
(knobs). Certain controls have mul-
tiple functions that are dependent on
the system operating conditions
active.
The type of function that can be
actuated by means of the controls
depend, in some cases, on how long
the button is pressed down (long or
short push), as shown in the follow-
ing table. The Lancia navigation
system helps driver while
he drives, by suggesting
vocally or graphically, the opti-
mum routing to reach his preset
destination. Navigation system
suggestions do not excuse driver
from his full responsibilities due
to his driving behaviour and to
his compliance with road and
other traffic regulations. The
responsibility for road safety
always lies with the car driver,
and it falls on him in any case.IMPORTANTThe provided phone
is of the Single-Band type and there-
fore if your network provider is not
operating with the 900 Mhz GSM
standard, coverage troubles may arise
notwithstanding the roaming. Contact
your network provider for further in-
formation.

DRIVING IN FOG
If the fog is thick, do not start out
on a journey unless you absolutely
have to. If driving in mist, blanket
fog or when there is danger of fog
patches:
– Keep your speed down.
– Turn on the dipped headlights,
rear fog lights and front fog lights
even during the day. Do not drive
with your headlights at main beam.
IMPORTANTOn stretches of road
with good visibility, switch off your
rear fog lights; the brightness of
these lights could annoy the people
travelling in the cars behind.
– Remember that fog also means
the tarmac is very wet and therefore
manoeuvres of all kinds are more
difficult and stopping distances are
longer.
– Keep a good distance from the
cars in front of you.
– As far as possible, avoid spurts of
speed or sudden decelerations. – Do not overtake other vehicles if
you can help it.
– If you are forced to stop your car
(breakdown, limited visibility etc.),
try to stop off the road. Turn on the
hazard lights and, if possible, the
dipped beam headlights.
Rhythmically sound the horn if you
realise another car is coming. DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS
– When driving downhill use the
engine braking effect by engaging a
low gear so as not to overheat the
brakes.
– Under no circumstances should
you drive downhill with the engine
off or with the gear in neutral, let
alone with the ignition key out.
– Drive at a moderate speed with-
out cutting corners.
– Remember that overtaking while
going uphill is slower and therefore
requires more free road. If you are
being overtaken while driving
uphill, make it easier for the other
vehicle to pass.
