GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

THE ALFA ROMEO
CODE SYSTEM
To increase protection against attempted
theft, the car is fitted with an electronic en-
gine lock system (Alfa Romeo CODE) which
is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition. In fact the grip
of each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the radio frequency signal
transmitted when the engine is started by a
special aerial incorporated in the ignition
switch. This modulated signal is the “pass-
word” by which the control unit recognises
the key and only in this condition can the
engine be started.
KEYS
Two keys are delivered together with the
car, (
A-fig. 2
) with metal insert and re-
mote control function.
The key remote control operates:
– Centralised door unlocking/locking
– Tailgate opening
– Electronic alarm on/off (if existing)
– Window and sunroof (if existing) un-
locking/locking.
