THE ALFA ROMEO

CODE SYSTEM

To increase protection against attempted

theft, the car is fitted with an electronic

engine lock system (Alfa Romeo CODE)

certified in accordance with EC Directive

95/56 which is activated automatically

when the key is removed from the igni-

tion.

In fact the grip of each key contains an

electronic device which modulates the ra-

dio frequency signal transmitted when the

engine is started by a special aerial incor-

porated in the ignition switch.

This modulated signal is the “password”

by which the control unit recognises the

key and only in this condition can the en-

gine be started.

THE KEYS

The car is provided with the key (A-

fig. 4) with metal insert with power-as-

sisted opening, remote control for opening

the boot and remote control for unlock-

ing/locking the doors and electronic alarm

(where applicable).

The key operates:

– the ignition

– door locks

– boot lock

– glovebox lock

– remote door locking/unlocking sys-

tem

– alarm system (optional for versions/

markets where applicable)

– deactivation of the passenger’s Air

bag.

IMPORTANT In order to ensure the

perfect efficiency of the electronic devices

contained inside the key, avoid exposing

it to direct sunlight.
