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.

Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment without directing the water jet
against electronic control units.
Have this done at a garage.
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.
IMPORTANTThe car should
washed with the engine cold and the
ignition key at STOP. After washing
make sure that the various protec-
tions (e.g. rubber caps and various
covers) have not been damaged or
removed.INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas,
etc.) which could cause the steel to
rust.
Never use inflammable
products like fuel oil
ether or rectified petrol
for cleaning inside the car. The
electrostatic discharges generat-
ed when rubbing to clean may
cause fire.
Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car. There is the
risk they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be
exposed to a temperature above
50°C; when the weather starts to
get hot the temperature inside the
car might go well beyond that fig-
ure.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE
THE CAR
Use special products designed not
to alter the appearance of the com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument
panel.
CLEANING ALCANTARA
SEATS
Alcantara upholstery is easy to
clean. Follow the same instructions
provided for velvet upholstery.

340
CLEANING VELVET SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush
and vacuum cleaner. Use a moist
brush to clean velvet upholstery.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral
soap.CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
– Remove the dry dirt with a
chamois leather or very slightly
moist loth without exerting too
much pressure.
– Remove liquid or grease stains
with a dry absorbent cloth without
rubbing. Then wipe with a chamois
leather or soft cloth moistened with
water and neutral soap. If the stain
does not come out, use a special
cleaning compound being particu-
larly careful to follow the instruc-
tions for use.
IMPORTANTNever use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
LEVER KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be
cleaned with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions and indications to make
sure they are free from spirit and/or
alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen
with special glass products, some
drops fall on the leather covering of
the steering wheel/gear lever knob re-
move them immediately and then
clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care
when engaging the steering lock to
prevent scratching the leather cover-
ing. Upholstery of your car
has been designed to with-
stand wear deriving from
common use of the car. You are
however recommended to avoid
strong and/or continuous scratch-
ing with clothing accessories such
as metallic buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, since these
items cause circumscribed stress
of the cover fabric that could lead
to yarn breaking, and damage the
cover as a consequence.
