2014 Lancia Thema spare tire

4. For each subsequent ignition
switch cycle, a chime will sound, the
TPM Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid, and the EVIC will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
for a minimum of five seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of
the pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the
original road tire and reinstall it on
the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update auto-
matically. In addition, the TPM Tell-
tale Light will turn OFF and the
graphic in the EVIC will display a new
pressure value instead of dashes (- -),
as long as no tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four active road tires. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 20
minutes above 24 km/h in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS DEACTIVATION
The TPMS can be deactivated if re-
placing all four wheel and tire assem-
blies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMSSensors, such as when installing win-
ter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle. To deactivate the TPMS, first,
replace all four wheel and tire assem-
blies (road tires) with tires not
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing (TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for 20 minutes above
24 km/h. The TPMS will chime, the
“TPM Telltale Light” will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then re-
main on and the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) will dis-
play the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure values. Begin-
ning with the next ignition switch
cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime,
flash the TPM Telltale Light or dis-
play the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message in the EVIC but dashes (--)
will remain in place of the pressure
values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires equipped with TPM
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up
to 20 minutes above 24 km/h. The
TPMS will chime, the “TPM TelltaleLight” will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then turn off, and the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message. The EVIC
will also display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next igni-
tion switch cycle the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message will no longer be
displayed as long as no system fault
exists.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
— GASOLINE ENGINES
3.6L ENGINE
All engines are designed to meet all
emissions regulations and provide ex-
cellent fuel economy and performance
when using high quality unleaded
gasoline with a minimum Research
Octane Number (RON) of 91 or
higher. The use of premium gasoline
will not provide any benefit over regu-
lar gasoline in these engines.
Light spark knock at low engine
speeds is not harmful to your engine.
However, continued heavy spark
236

in your area, a high cetane “pre-
mium” diesel fuel may offer improved
cold-starting and warm-up perfor-
mance.
BIODIESEL FUEL
REQUIREMENTS
A maximum blend of 7% biodiesel
meeting the EN590 standard are also
recommended for use with your diesel
engine. See your authorized dealer for
further information regarding fuels
available in your area.
ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release
switch (located in the driver's door
map pocket).2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flap-
per door inside the pipe seals the sys-
tem.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe – the nozzle opens and
holds the flapper door while refueling.
NOTE: Only the correct size
nozzle opens the latches allowing
the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when
the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close
the fuel door.NOTE: A funnel is provided (lo-
cated in the trunk in the spare tire
area) to open the flapper door to
allow for emergency refueling with
a gas can.CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfill-
ing, do not “top off” the fuel tank
after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materi-
als lit in or near the vehicle when
the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.

WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to an in-
jury collision. Follow these guide-
lines to make your trailer towing as
safe as possible:

Make certain that the load is se-
cured in the trailer and it will not
shift during travel. When traile-
ring cargo that is not fully secured,
dynamic load shifts can occur that
may be difficult for the driver to
control. You could lose control of
your vehicle and have a collision.
When hauling cargo or towing a
trailer, do not overload your ve-
hicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor perfor-
mance, or damage to brakes, axle,
engine, transmission, steering, sus-
pension, chassis structure, or tires.
Safety chains must always be used
between your vehicle and trailer.
Always connect the chains to the
frame or hook retainers of the ve-
hicle hitch. Cross the chains under
the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Vehicles with trailers should notbe parked on a grade. When
parking, apply the parking brake
on the tow vehicle. Put the tow
vehicle automatic transmission in
PARK. Always, block or "chock"
the trailer wheels.
GCWR must not be exceeded.
Total weight must be distrib-
uted between the tow vehicle
and the trailer such that the
following four ratings are not
exceeded:
1. Max loading as defined on the “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion” placard.
2. GTW
3. GAWR
4. Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized. (This re-
quirement may limit the abil-
ity to always achieve the 10%
to 15% range of tongue
weight as a percentage of total
trailer weight.) Towing Requirements – Tires
– Do not attempt to tow a trailer
while using a compact spare tire.
– Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory
operation of your vehicle. Refer to
“Tires – General Information” in
“Starting and Operating” for infor-
mation on tire pressures and for
proper tire inflation procedures.
– Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before
trailer usage.
– Check for signs of tire wear or vis- ible tire damage before towing a
trailer. Refer to “Tires – General
Information” in “Starting and Op-
erating” for information on tread
wear indicators and for the proper
inspection procedure.
– When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – General Information” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for information
on replacement tires and for the
proper tire replacement proce-
dures. Replacing tires with a higher

CAUTION!
Car maintenance should be done at
a LANCIA Dealership. For routine
and minor maintenance operations
you wish to carry out yourself, we
do recommend you have the proper
equipment, genuine LANCIA spare
parts and the necessary fluids; do
not however carry out these opera-
tions if you have no experience.
Coolant Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze)
protection every 12 months (before
the onset of freezing weather, where
applicable). If the engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appear-
ance, the system should be drained,
flushed, and refilled with fresh cool-
ant. Check the front of the A/C con-
denser for any accumulation of bugs,
leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose
vertically down the face of the con-
denser.
Check the coolant recovery bottle
tubing for brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the con-
nection at the bottle and radiator. In-
spect the entire system for leaks.
With the engine at normal operating
temperature (but not running), check
the cooling system pressure cap for
proper vacuum sealing by draining a
small amount of engine coolant (anti-
freeze) from the radiator drain cock.
If the cap is sealing properly, the en-
gine coolant (antifreeze) will begin to
drain from the coolant recovery
bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE
COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN
THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Cooling System – Drain, Flush,
And Refill
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is
dirty or contains a considerable
amount of sediment, clean and flush
with a reliable cooling system cleaner.
Follow with a thorough rinsing to re-
move all deposits and chemicals.
Properly dispose of old engine coolant
(antifreeze).
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule”
for the proper maintenance intervals.Selection Of Coolant
Use only the manufacturer's recom-
mended engine coolant (antifreeze).
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and
Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for further information.
CAUTION!
Mixing of engine coolant (anti-
freeze) other than specified en-
gine coolant (antifreeze), may re-
sult in engine damage and may
decrease corrosion protection. If a
non-specified engine coolant (an-
tifreeze) is introduced into the
cooling system in an emergency, it
should be replaced with the speci-
fied engine coolant (antifreeze) as
soon as possible.
