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
A0A00621b
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.
