CODE SYSTEM
To increase protection against attempted
theft, the car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock system (Alfa Romeo CODE) which
is activated automatically when the ignition
key is removed. 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 “password” by
which the control unit recognises the key
and only in this condition can the engine
be started.
THE KEYS
The car is delivered with two keys, key
(A-fig.1) with metal insert and remote
control function and another key with metal
insert only, without remote control.
The key remote control operates:
– door centralised opening/locking
– opening luggage compartment boot/
tailgate
– activation/deactivation of electronic
alarm (if existing)
