MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) no less than 95.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.

ENGINE START-UP

Petrol engines with manual gearbox: make sure the parking brake is pulled (instrument panel warning light Ⓐ on); put the gear lever to neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

Engines with automatic electronic transmission (COMFORTRONIC): make sure the parking brake is pulled (instrument panel warning light Ⓑ on) and the gear lever is to P: hold the clutch pedal pressed down to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

Diesel engines: make sure the parking brake is pulled; put the gear lever to neutral; press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator, then turn the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to MAR, and wait for the instrument panel warning light 00 to go out, then turn immediately the ignition key or the Keyless System knob to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

PARKING OVER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park the car over inflammable material, grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.: fire hazard.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental protection is fitted in your car.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car's electric system can support the required load.

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS ...

... information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols ▲ (personal safety) ▲ (environmental protection) ▲ (the car's wellbeing).

TRAVELLING SAFELY AND IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Safety and respect for the environment are the guidelines that inspired the THESIS design from the drawing board onwards.

This concept has meant that the THESIS has been able to face and pass the strictest safety tests. So much so that, from this point of view, the car is the best in its class and has probably already incorporated features that belong to the future.

In addition, ongoing research into new and effective features to help safeguard the environment makes the THESIS a car to imitate for this reason as well.

All versions are in fact equipped with environmental protection devices that reduce harmful exhaust fumes in compliance with the limits provided for by current legislation.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Safeguarding the environment has directed the design and manufacturing of the THESIS right from the start. The result is the use of materials and the perfection of devices that can reduce or sweepingly reduce harmful influences on the environment.

The THESIS is equipped with environment safeguarding devices which curtail harmful exhaust gas emissions, is ready to travel well ahead of the most stringent international pollution control standards.

USE OF ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY MATERIALS

None of the car's components contain asbestos. Padding and the climate control system do not contain CFCs (chlorofluorocarbides) - the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. Other substances that might pollute air and water tables, such as the cadmium in the rust-proof coating of the bolts, have been completely replaced with substances that do not harm the environment.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING PETROL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)

The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyst made up of noble metal alloys; it is housed in a stainless steel container capable of withstanding the very high operating temperatures.

The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, the carbon monoxide and the nitric oxides found in the exhaust gases (though in small amounts, thanks to the electronic-injection ignition systems) into non-polluting substances.

When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park the car over inflammable material (e.g. paper, fuel oil, grass, dead leaves, etc.).

Lambda sensors

The Lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The signal sent by the oxygen sensor is used by the injection system electronic control unit to constantly mix air and fuel in the correct proportion.

Fuel evaporation canister

As it is impossible to stop the build up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the system traps them in a special container holding active carbon.

The fumes are sucked in from here and burnt while the engine is running.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING DIESEL ENGINE EMISSIONS

Oxidising catalytic converter

This device converts the polluting substances in the exhaust gas (carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and particulates) into harmless substances, thus reducing the smokiness and smell associated with diesel engine exhaust fumes.

The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel case containing a honeycomb ceramic core in which there is the precious metal that carries out the catalysing action.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R.) system

This system recirculates or reuses part of the exhaust gas in a proportion which varies according to engine operating conditions.

When necessary, it is used for the control of nitrogen oxide emissions.

THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY

The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook where, more than elsewhere, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.

As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify the subjects in the different areas:

Warning symbol with exclamation mark inside a triangle on pink background

Personal safety.

Important. Total or partial failure to follow these instructions can place driver, passengers or others in serious danger.

Environmental protection.

This shows you the correct procedures to follow to ensure that the car does not harm the environment.

Traffic warning sign showing a car inside a triangle (no text or symbols)

Car wellbeing.

Important. Total or partial failure to follow these instructions will result in the risk of serious damage to the car and may invalidate the warranty as well.

The texts, illustrations and technical specifications contained in this handbook refer to the car at the time of going to press.

As part of our ongoing effort to improve our products, LANCIA may introduce technical modifications during production and therefore technical specifications and fittings may be altered without prior notice.

For more detailed information, please apply to LANCIA Dealerships.

THESIS CONNECT infotelematic system, in its most refined version, includes: colour TV set, sound system with cassette player, CD-ROM/Audio CD player, CD-changer, GSM cell phone, navigator, trip computer and voice commands (for certain functions of cell phone, audio system and navigator).

The following pages describe the system controls and main functions. The car is provided with a special supplement dealing with CONNECT infotelematic system to be used as quick reference guide for using the system. Read through this supplement carefully and keep it always within reach (e.g. in the glove compartment).

IMPORTANT For the navigation system of the CONNECT, only use only the original CD provided with the car or, in any case other CDs of the same brand.

IMPORTANT The provided phone is of the Single-Band type and therefore if your network provider is not operating with the 900 Mhz GSM standard, coverage troubles may arise notwithstanding the roaming. Contact your network provider for further information.

The Lancia navigation system helps driver while he drives, by suggesting vocally or graphically, the optimum routing to reach his preset destination. Navigation system suggestions do not excuse driver from his full responsibilities due to his driving behaviour and to his compliance with road and other traffic regulations. The responsibility for road safety always lies with the car driver, and it falls on him in any case.

If you drive with the volume too high you put both your own life and that of others in jeopardy. You should adjust the volume so that you can hear noises from outside the car (e.g. horns, ambulance/police sirens, etc.).

CONNECT CONTROLS (fig. 2)

The CONNECT system functions can be managed by means of 29 buttons and 2 rotating selectors (knobs). Certain controls have multiple functions that are dependent on the system operating conditions active.

The type of function that can be actuated by means of the controls depend, in some cases, on how long the button is pressed down (long or short push), as shown in the following table.

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to three different positions (fig. 6):

STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Some electrical devices can be operated (e.g. CONNECT).

MAR: driving position corresponding to: dashboard on and steering column lock off. All the electrical devices can be operated.

AVV: engine ignition. Release the key as soon as the engine is started.

MAR AVV STOP

fig. 6

If the ignition switch has been tampered with (e.g. someone has tried to steal your car), get a Lancia Dealership to make sure it is still functioning properly before you start driving again.

Always remove the ignition key when you get out of the car. This will prevent anyone from accidentally working the controls. Remember to apply the handbrake and, if the car is faced down on a steep slope engage the first gear. If it is facing up, engage the reverse gear.

IMPORTANT For versions equipped with the recognition system, refer to paragraph "Recognition system (Keyless System)" in this chapter.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

The steering column lock is engaged automatically after removing the ignition key.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft Device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation requirements.

Versions with Keyless System

The steering column lock is engaged when central door locking is actuated by means of the remote control. This condition is indicated on the instrument panel display by message "STEERING LOCKED WHEN DOORS CLOSED".

The steering column lock is not engaged if central door locking is actuated by means of the emergency key or if central locking is activated automatically ("Autoclose" function).

The steering column lock is disengaged automatically when depressing the clutch pedal (versions with manual gearbox) or brake pedal (versions with automatic transmission).

Steering column lock always off

The user can set the condition "Steering column lock always off" by means of the CONNECT menu. To set this mode, refer to the CONNECT supplement provided with the car.

In an emergency

The steering column lock cannot be disengaged when the battery is run down. In this case, open the bonnet with the emergency key and connect an auxiliary battery to the car battery.

Do not carry out this procedure if you lack experience; if it is not done correctly it can cause very intense electrical discharges and the battery might even explode. Contact a Lancia Dealership. In any case, refer to paragraph "Jump starting".

Before opening the luggage compartment bonnet to reload the battery or to connect an auxiliary battery, carefully read and comply with the instructions contained in the paragraph "If battery is to be disconnected" in the chapter "In an emergency".

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system (Lancia CODE) which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed. An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulated signal is a password. Only if the control unit recognises the key can the engine be started.

OPERATION

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP the Lancia CÓDE system will deactivate the engine electronic control unit functions.

When the key is turned to MAR to start the engine, the Lancia CODE system sends a password code to the engine control unit to deactivate the function lock. The encoded and variable code, randomly selected from over four billion possible combinations, is only sent if, in turn, the system has recognised the code transmitted by the electronic device built into the ignition key via an aerial surrounding the ignition switch.

If the code has not been recognised correctly, the symbol will appear on the instrument panel display, together with the message "VEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAULT".

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR. If the engine remains immobilised, try with the other keys provided with the car. If you are still unable to start the engine, carry out the emergency procedure described in chapter "In an emergency", and contact your Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code that must be stored in the system control unit. For storing new keys, up to a maximum of eight, apply solely to Lancia Dealership taking with you all the keys in your possession, the CODE card, a personal identity document and the documents that certify car possession.

The codes of any keys that are not available when the new storage procedure is carried out will be deleted from the memory to prevent any lost or stolen keys being used to start the engine.

IMPORTANT If symbol lights up when the car is running:

1) If the symbol lights up together with the message "VEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAULT", this means that the system is running a self-test (e.g. due to a voltage drop). The first time you stop, you can test the system as follows: switch the engine off by turning the ignition key to STOP then turn the key back to MAR: the symbol will light up and go out in about 1 second. If the symbol remains on, repeat the above procedure, leaving the key at STOP for longer than 30 seconds. If the problem persists, contact your Lancia Dealership.

2) If the symbol stays on, this means that the code has not been recognised. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR. If the engine remains immobilised, try with the other keys provided with the car. If you are still unable to start the engine, carry out the emergency procedure (see chapter "In an emergency"), and contact your Lancia Dealership.

Remote control

The remote control is built into the key and has three buttons C, D and E (fig. 9) and a led F (where required). The buttons respectively operate the central opening control, the central locking control and the boot lock; the led flashes while the transmitter is sending the code to the receiver. This code (rolling code) changes at each transmission.

To actuate the remote central door opening, press button C (fig. 9): the doors will unlock and the indicators will flash twice. To actuate central door locking, press button D: the doors will lock and the indicators will flash once.

By pressing button C, also the alarm system will be switched off; by pressing button D, the alarm system will be switched on and the key led F (where required) will flash while the transmitter sends the code to the receiver: this code (rolling code) varies at each transmission.

IMPORTANT When the remote control battery is run down, the dashboard display will show the symbol f accompanied by the message “DISCHARGED REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY”. In this case, it is advisable to replace the battery as soon as possible, by following the instructions given below.

IMPORTANT The remote control operation depends on different factors, such as possible interference with electromagnetic waves emitted by external sources, the battery charge and the presence of metal objects near the key and the car. It is however possible to perform any procedure using the metal insert of the key.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL KEYS WITH REMOTE CONTROL

The receiver will acknowledge up to eight keys with remote control. If you ever need a new key with remote control, go directly to a Lancia Dealership, taking with you the CODE card, personal identification and the car ownership papers.

ELECTRONIC ALARM

The system consists of:

• radio-frequency transmitter (built into the ignition key);
• radio-frequency receiver;
• electronic control unit with built-in siren (the siren can be deactivated);
• volumetric sensors (which can be deactivated);
• anti-lifting sensor (which can be deactivated).

The electronic alarm is controlled by the receiver and is switched on/off by means of the remote control built into the key, which sends the secret and variable code.

The electronic alarm monitors:

• the illicit opening of doors, bonnet and boot (perimetral protection);
• ignition switch operation:
  -cutting of battery cables:
• moving bodies inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protection)
• any abnormal raising/sloping of the car.

IMPORTANT When operating the central door unlocking with the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not deactivated.

VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION

Do not leave passengers or pets in the parked car and completely close the windows and the sunroof to ensure the correct operation of the volumetric sensors. Furthermore, make sure that the doors, bonnet and boot/tailgate are properly closed.

To deactivate the volumetric protection, press button A (fig. 16) on the front ceiling light: when the function is off, the button warning light will flash for about 3 seconds and then goes out.

Protection cut out stays on until activating the central door opening again.

IMPORTANT Volumetric protection shall be deactivated after about 1 minute from turning the key to STOP. To deactivate the volumetric protection after this period, turn the key to MAR and then to STOP again.

To ensure correct operation of the volumetric protection system, before actihe alarm, check that win- and sunroof (where pro-are perfectly closed.

ANTI-LIFTING SENSOR

The anti-lifting sensor detects variations in slant to signal lifting or partial lifting (e.g. to remove a wheel) of the car.

The sensor can detect minimal variations in cat trim along both the longitudinal axis and the transversal axis. Variations in trim lower than 0.5^/min . (such as, for example, a slow deflating tyre) are not take into account.

To switch the anti-lifting protection off, press button B (fig. 16) on the front ceiling light: when the function is off, the button warning light will flash for about 3 seconds and then goes out.

IMPORTANT The anti-lifting sensor shall be deactivated after about 1 minute from turning the key to STOP. To deactivate the anti-lifting sensor after this period, turn the key to MAR and then to STOP again.

Sensor cut out stays on until activating the central door opening again.

WHAT TRIGGERS THE ALARM OFF

The alarm will be triggered off in the following conditions:

- if a door, the bonnet or the boot/tailgate is opened:

- if the battery or electric cables are disconnected or cut:

- if there is an intrusion in the passenger compartment, e.g. a broken window (volumetric protection):

- if an attempt is made to start the engine (key at MAR);

- if an attempt has been made to lift the car.

According to the markets, the alarm can operate the siren and the direction indicators (for about 25 seconds). The intervention modality and the number of cycles can vary according to the markets.

A maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles is foreseen in all cases.

After the alarm cycle, the system returns to its normal surveillance function.
