Lancia THESIS CONNECT Owner's Handbook Manual - 188

188

If the failure is signalled when the

engine is started, it means that the

electronic control unit had stored it

previously, before stopping the

engine. Even in this case, go to a

Lancia Dealership to have the

automatic gearbox checked.

When driving with auto-

matic gearbox faulty,

drive carefully consider-

ing the limited car efficiency in

terms of acceleration and speed.

In addition, when driving with

automatic gearbox faulty, the

reverse block might not be oper-

ating: for this reason it is

absolutely necessary to move the

lever to position R while the car

is moving.

SOUND SIGNAL

A buzzer will sound in the follow-

ing conditions:

– for about 15 seconds when the

driver’s door is opened while the

engine is running or not and the gear

lever has a position different from P

– for about 15 seconds when the

engine is turned off and the gear

lever has a position different from P

– for about 4 seconds when the

gear lever is shifted to R (reverse)

– with the manual sequential oper-

ation on, when the selected gear is

not accepted by the electronic con-

trol unit (e.g. since it might generate

a runaway speed rate). 

BUMP STARTING

Never bump starting the engine (by

pushing, towing, etc.). In an emer-

gency, when the battery is flat, start

the engine with the appropriate

emergency battery according to the

instructions contained in chapter “In

an emergency”.
