2008 Lancia Thesis coolant temperature

164
This function can be activated with
the CONNECT (from the main
SETUP screen) or with the remote
control.
The system works with this mode on
if the following conditions are present
– outside temperature lower than 20
°C
– coolant temperature lower than 50
°C
– ignition key at STOPor removed
– car battery charged
– fuel not in reserve.
When this mode is on, the heater is
deactivated when one of the following
conditions occur:
– end of planned working time
– OFF signal from the remote con-
trol
– manual shutdown by the user
through CONNECT– ignition key at MAR
– partial battery rundown
– fuel in reserve
– malfunction detected by the heater
control unit.
Timed heater activation/
deactivation through CONNECT
Timed heater activation and deacti-
vation can be set through the CON-
NECT. Select and confirm “Heater”
on the main SETUP screen to display
the parked-car heater settings.
Settings available are the following:
– Operate now
– Timer 1
– Timer 2.
To activate/deactivate the required
function, select and confirm it with
the CONNECT right knob.“Operate now”
The option “Operate now” enables
to warm the passenger compartment
with the engine stopped and warm
and the ignition key to MAR, using
the engine coolant, heater coolant cir-
culation pump, automatic air distrib-
ution control (if not set manually) and
closing air recirculation. The timer
cannot be programmed when this
function is on.
To guarantee the required comfort,
this function shall be mainly activated
when coolant is hot enough. When
coolant temperature is lower than 50
°C the control unit starts the heater,
and when temperature is over 70 °C,
the control unit turns the heater off
and lets only the coolant circulation
pump keep on working.

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

167
This control is accepted by CON-
NECT only if:
– outside temperature lower than 20
°C
– coolant temperature lower than 50
°C
– the ignition key is at STOPor re-
moved
– car battery charged
– sufficient fuel level
– the timer is deactivated.
Switching the heater on
To switch the heater on, press the
remote control button ONfor 1 or 2
seconds, while keeping the antenna in
vertical position; the positive or un-
successful activation is indicated by
the remote control red led Bin the fol-
lowing way:
– the led turns on for about 2 sec-
onds = the signal has been correctly
received and the heater has been ac-
tivated– the led flashes for about 2 seconds
= the signal has not been received.
In the latter case you are advised to
move before trying to activate it by
pressing again the ONbutton.
After the confirmation activation,
the led Bwill flash every 2 seconds for
the whole operation cycle duration.
IMPORTANTIf led Bturns on with
green colour, press twice both remote
control buttons ONandOFFwithin 1
second to set the red colour.
Activation length
When pressing the remote control
buttonONthe last recorded activa-
tion length is always activated.
To see the recorded length, press at
the same time for three consecutive
times within 1 second, the remote
control buttons ONandOFF, count
the number of flashes of led Bthen
compare them to those shown in the
table below, including also the first
flash appearing the third time you
press the buttons. Default activation length is 30 min-
utes but it can be changed through
the following procedure:
– press at the same time for three
consecutive times within 1 second, the
remote control buttons ONandOFF
– count the number of flashes of led
Bincluding also the first flash ap-
pearing the third time you press but-
tonsONandOFF
– press OFFto set the length suc-
cessive to the set one (press OFFfor
several times to set the required
length in sequence)
– wait for about 10 seconds for timer
storing.

OPERATION
WITH ENGINE RUNNING
“Supplementary heater” mode
This operating mode integrates the
engine coolant warming up, immedi-
ately after start up or during driving,
to reach and keep the optimal work-
ing temperature of the engine and the
passenger compartment heater in the
quickest way.
This mode is activated automatically
by the climate control unit when the
following conditions occur at the same
time:
– ignition key at MAR
– engine running– coolant temperature lower than 30
°C
– the climate control unit detects
(according to sensor detected temper-
atures) that fast passenger compart-
ment warming is required.
This mode is automatically deacti-
vated when one of the following con-
ditions occurs:
– coolant temperature higher than
70 °C
– the heater control unit detects a
fault in the supplementary heater
– engine off. The batteries must be replaced with
new ones of the same type, available
at the usual sellers.
To replace batteries:
– remove the remote control cover
by pushing it in the arrow direction
indicated on the cover
– remove exhausted batteries and
take note of their position
– fit the new batteries with pole (+)
towards the remote control antenna
– fit down the cover.
Request for additional remote
controls
The heater receiver will acknowl-
edge up to three remote controls. To
order new remote controls, or to re-
place the original one, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

IMPORTANTEnergy-absorbing
devices (climate control system,
heated rear window etc.) are auto-
matically disconnected at starting.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
toSTOPbefore trying to start the
engine again.
If starting is particularly diffi-
cult,(with the Lancia CODE system
working properly) do not keep try-
ing too many times.
Use an auxiliary battery only if the
battery has insufficient charge.
Never use a battery charger to start
the engine. ENGINE WARMING UP
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its limit
for the first few kilometers. You are
recommended to wait until the
coolant temperature has reached 50
to 60 °C.STOPPING THE ENGINE
– Release the accelerator pedal and
wait until the engine is idling.
– Turn the ignition key to STOP
and turn the engine off. For versions
with electronic automatic gearbox,
put the selector to Pbefore turning
the engine off.
IMPORTANTAfter a taxing drive
you should allow the engine to
“catch its breath” before turning it
off by letting it idle to allow the tem-
perature in the engine compartment
to fall.
