2013 Lancia Thema display

While in US Mode, pressing the SET-
button once will result in a 1.6 km/h
decrease in set speed. Each sub-
sequent tap of the button results in
decrease of 1.6 km/h.
While in Metric Mode, pressing the
SET -button once will result in a
1.0 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in
decrease of 1.0 km/h.
NOTE:
 When you use the SET - button to decelerate, if the engine’s
braking power does not slow the
vehicle sufficiently to reach the
set speed, the brake system will
automatically slow the vehicle.
 The ACC system can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehi-
cle's braking capability and will
not bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
 The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and
down hill. However, a slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal. In addition, down-
shifting may occur while climb-
ing uphill or descending down-
hill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set
speed.
SETTING THE FOLLOWING
DISTANCE IN ACCThe specified following distance for
ACC can be set by varying the dis-
tance setting between 3 (long), 2 (me-
dium), and 1 (short). Using this dis-
tance setting and the vehicle speed,
ACC calculates and sets the distance
to the vehicle ahead. This distance
setting displays in the EVIC.
To change the distance setting, press
the Distance button and release. Each
time the button is pressed, the distance
setting adjusts between 3 (long),
2 (medium), and 1 (short).If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle
will maintain the set speed. If a slower
moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the EVIC displays the “Sensed

ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) MENUThe EVIC displays the current ACC
system settings. The EVIC is located in
the upper part of the instrument cluster
between the speedometer and the ta-
chometer. The information it displays
depends on ACC system status.UP and DOWN ButtonsPress the MENU button (located on the
steering wheel) repeatedly until one of
the following displays in the EVIC:Adaptive Cruise Control Off
 When ACC is deactivated, the dis-play will read “Adaptive Cruise
Control Off.”
Adaptive Cruise Control Ready
 When ACC is activated but the vehicle speed setting has not been
selected, the display will read
“Adaptive Cruise Control Ready.”
ACC SET
 When ACC is set, the set speed will display.  The set speed will continue to dis-
play in place of the odometer read-
ing when changing the EVIC dis-
play while ACC is set.
The ACC screen will display once again
if any ACC activity occurs, which may
include any of the following: Set Speed Change
 Distance Setting Change
 System Cancel
 Driver Override
 System Off
 ACC Proximity Warning
 ACC Unavailable Warning
 The EVIC will return to the last
display selected after five seconds
of no ACC display activity.
DISPLAY WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE
“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” Warning
The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In
Front Of Vehicle” warning will dis-
play when conditions temporarily limit system performance. This most
often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The
ACC system may also become tempo-
rarily blinded due to obstructions,
such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the EVIC will display “Clean
Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
and the system will deactivate.
The “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly re-
flective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflec-
tive tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC
system will recover after the vehicle
has left these areas. Under rare condi-
tions, when the radar is not tracking
any vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE: If the ACC “Clean Radar
Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” warn-
ing is active Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control is still available.
For additional information refer to
“Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control Mode” in this section.

If weather conditions are not a factor,
the driver should examine the sensor.
It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located
in the center of the vehicle behind the
lower grille.
To keep the ACC System operating
properly, it is important to note the
following maintenance items:
 Always keep the sensor clean. Care-fully wipe the sensor lens with a soft
cloth. Be cautious not to damage
the sensor lens.
 Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing so could cause an
ACC system malfunction or failure
and require a sensor realignment.
 If the sensor is damaged due to a collision, see your authorized dealer
for service.
Do not attach or install any accesso-
ries near the sensor, including trans-
parent material or aftermarket
grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC
system failure or malfunction.
When the condition that deactivated the
system is no longer present, the system
will return to the “Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol Off” state and will resume function
by simply reactivating it.NOTE: Installing a vehicle front-
end protector or an aftermarket
grille or modifying the grille is not
recommended. Doing so may
block the sensor and inhibit ACC
operation.
ACC Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) Unavailable”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits
ACC functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, ACC will be temporarily
unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer. PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING WITH ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC
may have detection issues. In these
cases, ACC may brake late or unex-
pectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene.
Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may af-
fect the performance of ACC. If there
is a noticeable change in performance
following the installation of a trailer/
hitch, or if the ACC performance does
not return to normal after removing
the trailer/hitch see your authorized
dealer.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Unavailable Warning
129

Narrow Vehicles
Some narrow vehicles traveling near
the outer edges of the lane or edging
into the lane are not detected until
they have moved fully into the lane.
There will not be sufficient distance to
the vehicle ahead.
Stationary Objects And VehiclesACC does not react to stationary objects
and stationary vehicles. For example,
ACC will not react in situations wherethe vehicle you are following exits your
lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in
your lane. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
NORMAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol mode, a normal (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode is available for
cruising at fixed speeds. The normal
Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without
requiring the driver to operate the
accelerator. Cruise Control can only
be operated if the vehicle speed is
above 32 km/h.
To change modes, press the MODE
button when the system is in either the
OFF, READY, or SET position.
“Cruise Ready” will be displayed if
the system was in ACC READY or
ACC SET position. “Cruise Off” will
be displayed if the system was in the
ACC OFF position. To switch back to
Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode,
the system will not react to vehicles
ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no
alarm will sound even if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead since nei-
ther the presence of the vehicle
ahead nor the vehicle-to vehicle
distance is detected. Be sure to
maintain a safe distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Always be aware which mode is
selected.

To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed
desired, press the SET-button and
release. The EVIC will display the set
speed.
NOTE: You must observe the
display when setting or changing
speed, not the speedometer.
To Vary The Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set
speed:
 Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the vehicle to the desired speed and
press the SET -button.
 Tap the RES +or SET -button to
increase or decrease the set speed in
1 km/h increments respectively.
Hold the RES +or SET -button for
5 km/h increments.
To CancelThe system will disable normal Cruise
Control without erasing the memory if: You softly tap or depress the brake pedal.  You press the CANCEL button.
 The Electronic Stability Control/
Traction Control System (ESC/
TCS) activates.
To Resume
Press the RES +button and then re-
move your foot from the accelerator
pedal. The EVIC will display the last
set speed.
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the
set speed in memory if:
 You push and release the ON/OFF button.
 You turn off the ignition.
 You switch off ESC.
If the Cruise Control system is turned
off and reactivated, the system will
return to the last driver setting (ACC
or Normal Cruise Control). FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
warns the driver of a potential colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you
and prompts the driver to take action
in order to avoid the collision.
FCW monitors the information from
the forward looking sensor as well
as the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), wheel speed sensors, i.e., to
calculate a probable rear-end colli-
sion. When the system determines
that a rear-end collision is probable a
warning message (both audible and
visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
When the system determines a colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you is
no longer probable, the warning mes-
sage will be deactivated.
NOTE: The minimum speed for
FCW activation is 16 km/h.
132

WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
is not intended to avoid a collision
on its own, nor can FCW detect
every type of potential collision.
The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering.
Failure to follow this warning could
lead to serious injury or death.
Changing FCW StatusThe FCW feature can be set to far, set
to near or turned off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information. The FCW Sta-
tus Off, Near or Far will be displayed
in the Uconnect Touch™ display.The default status of FCW is the
“Far” setting, this allows the system
to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you
the most reaction time. Changing the FCW status to the
“Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far” set-
ting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
Changing the FCW status to “Off”
prevents the system from warning you
of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you.
NOTE:

In the “Off” setting FCW OFF will
be displayed on the Uconnect
Touch™ display.The system will retain the last
setting selected by the driver after
ignition shut down.FCW will not react to irrelevant
objects such as overhead objects,
ground reflections, objects not in
the path of the car, stationary ob-
jects that are far away, oncoming
traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
 If the FCW becomes disabled
then a warning will display on
the EVIC screen.
FCW Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “ACC/FCW Unavailable,
Service Required”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits
FCW functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, FCW will be temporarily
unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing FCW again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer.

PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST
The ParkSense® Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indica-
tions of the distance between the rear
and/or front fascia and a detected ob-
stacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking ma-
neuver. Refer to ParkSense® System
Usage Precautions for limitations of
this system and recommendations.ParkSense® will retain the last system
state (enabled or disabled) from the
last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense® can be active only when
the shift lever is in REVERSE or
DRIVE. If ParkSense® is enabled at
one of these shift lever positions, the
system will remain active until the ve-
hicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 11 km/h or above. The system
will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than
approximately 9 km/h.
PARKSENSE® SENSORS
The four ParkSense® sensors, located
in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the
area behind the vehicle that is within
the sensors’ field of view. The sensors
can detect obstacles up to approxi-
mately 150 cm from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located
in the front fascia/bumper, monitor
the area in front of the vehicle that is
within the sensors’ field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles up to
approximately 120 cm from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.PARKSENSE® WARNING
DISPLAY
The ParkSense® Warning screen will
only be displayed if Sound and Dis-
play is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
The ParkSense® Warning screen is
located within the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the
distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper
and the detected obstacle.

PARKSENSE® DISPLAY
The warning display will turn ON
indicating the system status when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the
vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle
has been detected.The system will indicate a detected
obstacle by showing three solid arcs
and will produce a one-half second
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to
the object the EVIC display will show
fewer, flashing arcs and the sound
tone will change from slow, to fast, to
continuous.
The vehicle is close to the obstacle
