turn signal Lancia Thema 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trig-
ger illumination of the TPM
Telltale Light.
 Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
PREMIUM SYSTEM
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses wireless technology with
wheel rim mounted electronic sensors
to monitor tire pressure levels. Sen-
sors mounted to each wheel as part of
the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you
to check the tire pressure in all of
the tires on your vehicle monthly
and to maintain the proper pres-
sure.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
 Receiver module,
 Four TPM sensors,  Various TPMS messages, which
display in the Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC), and
 TPM Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low
Pressure Warnings The TPM Telltale Light will il-
luminate in the instrument
cluster and a chime will sound
when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In
addition, the EVIC will display a
"LOW TIRE" message and a graphic
showing the pressure values of each
tire with the low tire pressure values
flashing.
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tires
with a low pressure condition (those
flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure inflation value. Once the sys-
tem receives the updated tire pres-
sures, the system will automatically
update, the graphic display in the
EVIC will stop flashing, and the TPM
Telltale Light will turn off. The ve-
hicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h in order
for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the TPM
Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid.
The system fault will also sound a
chime. In addition, the EVIC will dis-
play a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five sec-
onds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value to indicate
which sensor is not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the
system fault still exists. If the system
fault no longer exists, the TPM Tell-
tale Light will no longer flash, and the
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message
will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the
dashes. A system fault can occur due
to any of the following:
1. Signal interference due to elec-
tronic devices or driving next to facili-
ties emitting the same radio frequen-
cies as the TPM sensors.
221

2. Installing aftermarket window
tinting that contains materials that
may block radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice
around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The EVIC will also display a "SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a
minimum of five seconds when a sys-
tem fault related to an incorrect sen-
sor location fault is detected. In this
case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message is then followed with a
graphic display with pressure values
still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received
from the TPM sensors but they may
not be located in the correct vehicle
position. The system still needs to be
serviced as long as the "SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM" message is displayed.Vehicles With Compact Spare
1. The compact spare tire does not
have a TPM sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare
tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition
switch cycle, the TPM Telltale Light
will remain ON and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the
EVIC will still display a flashing pres-
sure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 24 km/h, the TPM
Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid.
In addition, 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.
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 informa-
tion.
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 TPMS
Sensors, 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
222

Proper tire inflation pressures areessential to the safe and satisfac-
tory operation of your vehicle. Re-
fer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating”
for information on tire pressures
and for proper tire inflation proce-
dures.
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
“Starting and Operating” for infor -
mation on replacement tires and
for the proper tire replacement pro-
cedures. Replacing tires with a
higher load carrying capacity will
not increase the vehicle's GVWR
and GAWR limits. Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
Do
notinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when
towing a trailer with electronically
actuated brakes. When towing a
trailer equipped with a hydraulic
surge actuated brake system, an
electronic brake controller is not
required.
Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 454 kg and r e-
quired for trailers in excess of
907 kg.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than
454 kg loaded, it should have its
own brakes, and they should be of
adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lin-
ing wear, higher brake pedal effort,
and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
 Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an col-
lision.
 Towing any trailer will increase
your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in a collision.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stoplights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a 7-pin or a 13-pin wiring harness.
Use a factory approved trailer harness
and connector.
NOTE:
Do not cut or splice wiring into the
vehicles wiring harness. 233

The electrical connections are all
complete to the vehicle but you must
mate the harness to a trailer connec-
tor.

HAZARD WARNING
FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is
located in the center of the instrument
panel between the center air outlets.Press the switch to turn on the
Hazard Warning flashers.
When the switch is activated,
all directional turn signals will flash
on and off to warn oncoming traffic of
an emergency. Press the switch a sec-
ond time to turn off the Hazard Warn-
ing flashers.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the Hazard Warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the
OFF position. NOTE:
With extended use the Hazard
Warning flashers may wear down
your battery.
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you
can reduce the potential for overheat-
ing by taking the appropriate action.
 On the highways — slow down.
 In city traffic — while stopped,
place the transmission in NEU-
TRAL, but do not increase the en-
gine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to
slow down an impending overheat
condition:
 If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system
adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off
can help remove this heat.
 You can also turn the tempera- ture control to maximum heat,
the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This al-
lows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and
aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads “H,” pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H,” turn the
engine off immediately and call for
service.WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned
by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see
or hear steam coming from under
the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool.
Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.

2. Anytime you store your vehicle, or
keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes in the fresh air and high
blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
