2012 Lancia Thema 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.

Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. In-
spect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and
bulges. Check the wheel nuts fortightness. Check the tires (including
spare) for proper cold inflation pres-
sure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.

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.
