Lancia Thema 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!(Continued)
 To help protect against personal
injury, passengers should not be
seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for
load carrying purposes only, not
for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo
and passengers can change the ve-
hicle center of gravity and vehicle
handling. To avoid loss of control
resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
 Always place cargo evenly on the
cargo floor. Put heavier objects as
low and as far forward as possible.
 Place as much cargo as possible in
front of the rear axle. Too much
weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the ve-
hicle to sway.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not pile luggage or cargo
higher than the top of the seat-
back. This could impair visibility
or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.

LOAD LEVELING
SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The automatic load leveling system
will provide a level-riding vehicle un-
der most passenger and cargo loading
conditions.
A hydraulic pump contained within
the shock absorbers raises the rear of
the vehicle to the correct height. It
takes approximately 1.6 km of driv-
ing for the leveling to complete de-
pending on road surface conditions.
If the leveled vehicle is not moved for
approximately 15 hours, the leveling
system will bleed itself down. The ve-
hicle must be driven to reset the sys-
tem.147
