2006 Lancia Thesis remote control

Remote control
The remote control is built into the
key and has three buttons C, Dand 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.
IMPORTANTWhen the remote
control battery is run down, the
dashboard display will show the
symbol Yaccompanied by the mes-
sage “DISCHARGED REMOTE
CONTROLBATTERY”. In this
case, it is advisable to replace the
battery as soon as possible, by fol-
lowing the instructions given below.IMPORTANTThe remote control
operation depends on different fac-
tors, 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.

OPENING THE TAILGATE
The tailgate can be opened from
the outside by pressing the remote
control button E (fig. 9), even when
the electronic alarm is on.
One single short pressure of the
button will switch the boot alarm
system off and release the lock: the
tailgate can therefore be opened
from the outside by pressing the
boot button. A prolonged pressure
(more than 1 second) of the button
will switch the boot alarm system off
and open the tailgate, which will
partially lift.
The opening of the tailgate is
accompanied by two direction indi-
cator flashes.When tailgate opening is actuated,
the alarm system disconnects the
boot sensor and the direction indica-
tors flash twice (except for the ver-
sions of certain markets).
When the tailgate is closed again,
press button D(fig. 9) to restore
locking and control functions; the
direction indicators will flash twice
(except for the versions of certain
markets).
If the tailgate is not open within 30
seconds after actuating the boot
unlock control, the tailgate lock will
be re-locked and the alarm system
will be reactivated.AUTOMATICALLY ACTUATED
FUNCTIONS
The system automatically controls
the following functions (settings that
cannot be modified):
– boot locking if, within 30 seconds
after boot unlocking, it will not be
opened;
– possible unlocking of all the door
locks, in case of impact with actua-
tion of the inertia switch;
– lock release and tailgate opening
(actuated by the button inside the
car);
– door opening/closing by the but-
tons inside the car;
– disconnection of all services when
the key is turned to STOP, exclud-
ing sound system, window regula-
tors, sunroof and internal lighting
until doors are opened;
– progressive switching on/off of
internal lights;
– light indication of boot open/
closed.

KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the remote control battery is run
down, the symbol Ywill appear on
the instrument display, together
with the message “DISCHARGED
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY”.
In this case, the battery must
replaced with a new one of the same
type that can be purchased at com-
mon stores.Used batteries pollute
the environment. Dispose
of them in the special
containers as specified by current
legislation. Keep batteries away
from open flames and high tem-
peratures. Keep away from chil-
dren.To replace the battery:
– press button B (fig. 11) and
move the metal insert Ato open
position;
– remove the small cover C(fig. 12)
by levering at point D.
– replace battery E(fig. 13) by
placing it with the pole (+) facing
upwards;
– refit the small cover by pressing
it.

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 deactivat-
ed);
– 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 con-
trol built into the key, which sends
the secret and variable code. The electronic alarm monitors:
– the illicit opening of doors, bon-
net and boot (perimetral protec-
tion);
– ignition switch operation;
– cutting of battery cables;
– moving bodies inside the passen-
ger compartment (volumetric pro-
tection)
– any abnormal raising/sloping of
the car.
IMPORTANTThe engine immo-
bilising system is governed by the
Lancia CODE system and is auto-
matically activated when the igni-
tion key is removed.

SWITCHING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and boot closed and
the key removed from the ignition
switch, point the key with the
remote control in the direction of the
car, then press and release the but-
ton B(fig. 14).
With the exception of certain mar-
kets, a beep will be heard, the direc-
tion indicators will light up for about
1 second and the doors will be
locked.
The alarm activation is preceded
by a self-test: if a fault is found, the
system sounds another warning beep
and when the key is turned to MAR,
the symbol Ywill appear on the
instrument panel display, together
with the message “ALARM
FAULT”.
IMPORTANTWhen operating the
central door locking with the metal
insert of the key, the alarm is not
activated.Surveillance
After activating the alarm, the red
deterrent leds A(fig. 15) on the
front door panels will flash to indi-
cate that the surveillance function is
on. The leds will stay on flashing
until the alarm system surveillance
function is on.
IMPORTANTThe electronic
alarm operation is adapted to the
rules in force in the various coun-
tries.Self-test
and door/bonnet/boot control
functions
If, after switching the alarm system
on, a second beep is heard, switch
the system off by pressing button A
(fig. 14), and check that the doors,
bonnet and boot are correctly closed.
Then switch the system on again by
pressing button B.
Otherwise the system will cut out
the door bonnet and boot from the
surveillance if they are not properly
closed.
If the doors, the bonnet and the
boot are properly closed and a sec-
ond beep is heard again, it means
that the system self-test function has
found a fault. Contact a Lancia
Dealership.
