climate control Lancia Thema 2012 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!
 Do not leave children or animalsinside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
 It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
 Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing (CO), fol-
low these safety tips: (Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
 If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make sure
that all windows are closed and
the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
 If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.

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.
CARGO AREA FEATURES

known good disc before consider-
ing disc player service.RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

12. Modes
The airflow distribution mode can be
adjusted so air comes from the instru-
ment panel outlets, floor outlets, de-
mist outlets and defrost outlets. The
Mode settings are as follows:

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these
outlets can be individually ad-
justed to direct the flow of air. The air
vanes of the center outlets and out-
board outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate air-
flow direction. There is a shut off
wheel located below the air vanes to
shut off or adjust the amount of air-
flow from these outlets.182

Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets and floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
NOTE:
BI-LEVEL mode is designed under
comfort conditions to provide
cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor out-
lets.
 Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets.
A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side
window demister outlets.
 Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, defrost
and side window demist outlets.
This mode works best in cold or
snowy conditions. 
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist out-
lets. Use Defrost mode with
maximum temperature settings for
best windshield and side window de-
frosting and defogging. When the de-
frost mode is selected, the blower level
may increase.
13. SYNC
Press the Sync soft-key to toggle the
Sync feature On/Off. The Sync indi-
cator is illuminated when this feature
is enabled. Sync is used to synchro-
nize the passenger temperature set-
ting with the driver temperature set-

temperature setting while in Sync will
automatically exit this feature.
CLIMATE CONTROL
FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidi-
fied air will flow through the outlets into the cabin. For improved fuel
economy, press the A/C button to turn
off the air conditioning and manually
adjust the blower and airflow mode
settings.
NOTE:
 If fog or mist appears on the
windshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
 If your air conditioning perfor- mance seems lower than ex-
pected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front
of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through
the condenser. Fabric front fas-
cia protectors may reduce air-
flow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
Recirculation When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
