THE ALFA ROMEO
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
key is removed from the ignition. In fact
the grip of each key contains an electron-
ic device which modulates the radio fre-
quency signal transmitted when the
A0A00621b
engine is started by a special aerial incor-
porated in the ignition switch. This modu-
lated signal is the "password" by which
the control unit recognises the key and
only in this condition can the engine be
started.
