2012 Lancia Thema lights

Three of the LEDs are turn signal
indicators, which flash with the corre-
sponding turn signal lights in the
front and rear of the vehicle. Turning
on the Hazard Warning flashers will
also activate these LEDs.
The other two LEDs supply illumi-
nated entry lighting, which turns on
in both mirrors when you use the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter or open any door. These LEDs
shine outward to illuminate the front
and rear door handles. They also
shine downward to illuminate the
area in front of the doors.
The Illuminated Entry lighting fades
to off after about 30 seconds or it will
fade to off immediately once the igni-
tion is placed into the RUN position.
NOTE:
The approach lighting will not
function when the shift lever is
moved out of the PARK position.TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto-
matic outside mirror positioning
which will aid the driver’s view of the
ground rearward of the front doors.
The outside mirrors will move slightly
downward from the present position
when the vehicle is shifted into RE-
VERSE. The outside mirrors will then
return to the original position when
the vehicle is shifted out of the RE-
VERSE position. Each stored
memory setting will have an associ-
ated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse position.
NOTE:
The Tilt Mirrors in Reverse feature
can be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a mir-
ror, press either the L (left) or R
(right) button to select the mirror that
you want to adjust.
NOTE:
A light in the select button will
illuminate indicating the mirror is
activated and can be adjusted.
Using the mirror control switch, press
on any of the four arrows for the di-
rection that you want the mirror to

WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.NOTE:
 Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
 If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the appro-
priate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the
system shall respond with both vi-
sual and audible alerts when a de-
tected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the
radio is also muted. Turn/hazard
signal status is ignored; the RCP
state always requests the audible
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off,
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the cur-
rent operating mode when the ve-
hicle is shut off. Each time the ve-
hicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.
