2012 Lancia Thema warning light

Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain
on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not lit during
starting, see your authorized dealer. If
the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedalsor impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals or the
ability to control the vehicle.
 Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Ob-
jects can become trapped under
the brake pedal and accelerator
pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
 If required, mounting posts must
be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.

MIRRORS
AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR
This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the
vehicle is moving in reverse.CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE:
The passenger side convex outside
mirror will give a much wider view
to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide
with another vehicle or other object.
Use your inside mirror when judging
the size or distance of a vehicle seen
in the passenger side convex mirror.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
FOLDING FEATURE
Vehicles are equipped with mirrors
that are hinged. The hinge allows the
mirror to pivot forward and rearward to resist damage. The hinge has three
detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The driver’s outside mirror will auto-
matically adjust for glare from ve-
hicles behind you. This feature is con-
trolled by the inside automatic
dimming mirror and can be turned on
or off by pressing the button at the
base of the inside mirror. The mirror
will automatically adjust for head-
light glare when the inside mirror ad-
justs.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS WITH
TURN SIGNAL AND
APPROACH LIGHTING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Driver and passenger outside mirrors
with turn signals located within the
mirror housing and approach lighting
located within mirror glass contain
five LEDs.
Automatic Dimming Mirror
63

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
move.

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the ve-
hicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu-
minate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys-
tem sensors operate when the vehicleis in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers ap-
proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle 3.35 m. The zone starts at
the outside rear view mirror and ex-
tends approximately 6 m to the rear of
the vehicle. The BSM system monitors
the detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of ve-
hicles in these areas.
NOTE:
 The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap- proaching vehicles that are out-
side the detection zones.
 The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if your ve-
hicle is towing a trailer. There-
fore, visually verify the adjacent
lane is clear for both your ve-
hicle and trailer before making
a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the
side of your vehicle, this may re-
sult in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the en-
tire time the vehicle is in a for-
ward gear.
The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con-
tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
Rear Detection Zones
BSM Warning Light
66

The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illu-
minating the BSM warning light lo-
cated in the outside mirrors in addi-
tion to sounding an audible (chime)
alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.
The BSM system monitors the detec-
tion zone from three different entry
points (side, rear, front) while driving
to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these
types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of less than 48 km/h.
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly
with a relative speed of less than
16 km/h and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately
1.5 seconds, the warning light will be
illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater
than 16 km/h, the warning light will
not illuminate.

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.
