Lancia THESIS CONNECT Owner's Handbook Manual - 206

206

The driver will be warned by a spe-

cial display message when the system

is deactivated because the lens is

dirty.

In this case, clean the sensor protec-

tion lens, shown in fig. 150 with a wet

cloth; do not use dry, rough or hard

cloths. Should the dirty lens message

stay on after cleaning, contact a Lan-

cia Dealership.

If the Radar Cruise Con-

trol went off due to exces-

sive lens dirt, when

restarting the car a few km shall

be covered before switching the

system on again in order to let the

system check if previous condi-

tions (causing Radar Cruise Con-

trol turn off) have been removed.

The sensor is built into

the front bumper: impacts

can therefore damage it.

IMPORTANT Failure to one of the

safety systems connected to the Radar

Cruise Control (ABS or ESP system)

will cause Radar Cruise Control fail-

ure indication. 

The Radar Cruise Control

should be switched on

only when road and traffic

conditions allow the driver to drive

safely, that is, when the road is

straight and the surface is not slip-

pery, when the car is driven on a

freeway or motorway, and when

traffic flows smoothly. Do not use

the device when driving in urban

areas or when traffic is heavy.
