bulb Lancia Thema 2013 Owner handbook (in English)

Light will turn on for three seconds for
a bulb check. If the light remains on
after the bulb check, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics.
This condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.If the Vehicle Security Light turns
on during normal vehicle operation
(vehicle running for longer than
10 seconds), it indicates that there is a
fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized
dealer.
All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle elec-
tronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key
Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any
other vehicle.
CAUTION!
 Always remove the Key Fobsfrom the vehicle and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
 For vehicles equipped with Key- less Enter­N­Go™, always re-
member to place the ignition in
the OFF position.
Duplication of Key Fobs may be per-
formed at an authorized dealer, this
procedure consists of programming a
blank Key Fob to the vehicle electron-
ics. A blank Key Fob is one that has
never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry
Key® Immobilizer System ser-
viced, bring all vehicle Key Fobs
with you to the authorized dealer.

Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
for versions/markets, where pro-
vided. A single chime will sound if the
Air Bag Warning Light comes on
again after initial startup. It also in-
cludes diagnostics that will illuminate
the Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc-
tion. If the Air Bag Warning Light is
illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced by
an authorized dealer. The hood hinges
must be serviced and the actuator as-
semblies replaced to restore system
functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.NOTE: After any Active Hood
deployment, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CAUTION!To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.

It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC
detects a collision requiring the
Advanced Front Air Bags, it signals
the inflator units. A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the Advanced Front Air Bags. Differ-
ent air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the
upper right side of the instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way
as the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags fully inflate in about
50 to 70 milliseconds. This is about
half of the time it takes to blink your
eyes. The air bags then quickly deflate
while helping to restrain the driver
and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag Inflator Unit
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag unit is located in the instru-
ment panel trim beneath the steering
column. When the ORC detects a col-
lision requiring the Advanced Front
Air Bags, it signals the inflator units.A large quantity of non-toxic gas is
generated to inflate the Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag. The trim
cover separates and folds out of the
way allowing the air bag to inflate to
the full size. The air bag fully inflates
in about 15 to 20 milliseconds. The
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag gas is vented through small vent
holes in the side of the air bag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB) are designed to acti-
vate only in certain side collisions.The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.
Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.

Safety Checks You Should
Make Inside The Vehicle
Seat BeltsInspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be re-
placed 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 regarding
belt or retractor condition, replace the
belt.Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light
is not lit during starting, see your
authorized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the
vehicle that cannot be properly
secured to prevent them from
moving and interfering with the
pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional floor
mats and other coverings will re-
duce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals. Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot-
well while the vehicle is moving.
Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.

beam headlights if previously de-
activated by turning the headlight
switch off. The rear fog lights will
only turn on by operating the
switch as previously described.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVERThe multifunction lever controls the
operation of the turn signals, headlight
beam selection and passing lights. The
multifunction lever is located on the
left side of the steering column.TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights.NOTE:

If either light remains on and
does not flash, or there is a very
fast flash rate, check for a defec-
tive outside light bulb. If an indi-
cator fails to light when the lever
is moved, it would suggest that
the indicator bulb is defective.A “Turn Signal On” message will
appear in the EVIC (for versions/
markets, where provided) and a
continuous chime will sound if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km
with either turn signal on.LANE CHANGE ASSISTTap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times then automatically turn off.HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
high beam. Pull the multifunction le-
ver toward you to switch the head-
lights back to low beam.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beams headlights
until the lever is released.

Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) Display
The Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) features a driver-
interactive display that is located in
the instrument cluster. For further in-
formation, refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)”. The Shift Lever Indicator is self-
contained within the EVIC display. It
displays the gear position of the auto-
matic transmission.
NOTE:
 You must apply the brakes be-
fore shifting from PARK.

The highest available transmis-
sion gear is displayed in the lower
right corner of the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)
whenever the Electronic Range
Select (ERS) feature is active. Use
the +/- selector on the shift lever
to activate ERS (for versions/
markets, where provided). Refer
to “Automatic Transmission” in
“Starting And Operating” for fur-
ther information.8. Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light
Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
158

vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control sys-
tems. The light will illuminate when
the key is in the ON/RUN position,
before engine start. If the bulb does
not come on when turning the key
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the con-
dition checked promptly.
159

Certain conditions, such as poor fuel
quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL
after engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles. In
most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,
etc. This could result in death or
serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others.
10. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
11. Fuel Door ReminderThe arrow in this symbol is
a reminder that the Fuel
Filler Door is located on the
left side of the vehicle.
12. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in
the fuel tank when the ignition switch
is in the ON/RUN position.
13. Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned to ON/
RUN. If the light is either not on during
starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the system inspected at
an authorized dealer as soon as pos-
sible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints”
in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information.
14. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and park-
ing brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate
that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock
brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the park-
ing brake has been disengaged, and
the fluid level is at the full mark on
the master cylinder reservoir, it indi-
cates a possible brake hydraulic sys-
tem malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been de-
tected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system. In this case, the light
will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is re-
lated to the brake booster, the ABS
pump will run when applying the
brake and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.
160

16. Vehicle Security LightThis light will flash at a fast
rate for approximately
15 seconds, when the ve-
hicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until
the vehicle is disarmed.
17. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) OFF Indicator Light (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is off.
18. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light (for versions/
markets, where provided) The “ESC Activation/Mal-
function Indicator Light” in
the instrument cluster will
come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine run-
ning, a malfunction has been detected
in the ESC system. If this light re-
mains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven sev-
eral kilometers at speeds greater than
48 km/h, see your authorized dealer
as soon as possible to have the prob-
lem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:

The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and
the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN.Each time the ignition is turned to
ON/RUN, the ESC system will be
ON, even if it was turned off
previously.The ESC system will make buzz-
ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESC becomes in-
active following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
19. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.
After the bulb check or when driving,
if the driver or passenger's (for
versions/markets, where provided)
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will illuminate
and the chime will sound. Refer to
“Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle”
for further information.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
