climate control Lancia Thema 2014 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING!(Continued)
If you are required to drive withthe trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion 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.
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 autho-
rized 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

CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the
surface with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.NOTE: If you experience diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,
moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.
Try a known good disc before con-
sidering 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.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating sys-
tem is designed to make you comfort-
able in all types of weather. This sys-
tem can be operated through either
the controls on the instrument panel
or through the Uconnect® system dis-
play.
When the Uconnect® system is in dif-
ferent modes (Radio, Player, Settings,
More, etc.) the driver and passenger
temperature settings will be indicated
at the top of the display.

ments:
Use care when washing the insideof the rear window. Do not use
abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window.
Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can
be peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru- ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

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. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes.
NOTE:
If fog or mist appears on thewindshield 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.
MAX A/C
Max A/C sets the control for maxi-
mum cooling performance.Press and
release to toggle between Max A/C
and the prior settings. The soft-key
illuminates when Max A/C is ON.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and
mode position can be adjusted to de-
sired user settings. Pressing other set-
tings will cause the MAX A/C opera-
tion to switch to the prior settings and
the MAX A/C indicator will turn off.
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
Recirculation control button. The re-
circulation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Push the button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside
air into the vehicle.
NOTE: In cold weather, use of
Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The re-
circulation feature may be un-
available (soft-key button greyed
out) if conditions exist that could
create fogging on the inside of he
windshield. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Re-
circulation mode is not allowed in
Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if
this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this
mode will cause the LED in the
control button to blink and then
turn off.

water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode dur-
ing Winter months is not recom-
mended because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation Storage
Any time 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.Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can
be quickly removed by turning the
mode selector to Defrost. The Defrost/
Floor mode can be used to maintain a
clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging
becomes objectionable, increase
blower speed to improve airflow and
clearing of the side windows. Vehicle
windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild but rainy or humid weather.
NOTE:
Recirculate without A/C should
not be used for long periods, as
fogging may occur.
Automatic Temperature Con- trols (ATC) will automatically
adjust the climate control set-
tings to reduce or eliminate win-
dow fogging on the front wind-
shield. When this occurs,
recirculation will be
unavailable. A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters out-
side air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally filtered out. Refer to “Mainte-
nance Procedures” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for filter replacement
instructions.
