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.

special coloured labels have been attached.
These labels bear symbols that remind you
of the precautions to be taken as regards that
particular component.
A summary list of the symbols (fig. 1) is
to be found under the bonnet.

Improper use of power
windows can be danger-
ous. Before and during use, always
make sure that the passengers are
not exposed to the risk of harm ei-
ther directly by the moving win-
dows or by personal objects drawn
or knocked by them. When leaving
the car, always remove the ignition
key to prevent the power windows
from being operated inadvertent-
ly, and harming anyone left on

control knob (A-fig. 122), in the direc-
tion of the arrow, choosing one of the 6
opening positions available.
To close the roof, take the control knob

The sunroof is fitted with a sliding curtain
below, which prevents sun radiation and is
drawn by hand using a catch.
The curtain is drawn by the roof when it
opens and is pushed completely inside the
roof panel when the sunroof is opened com-
pletely. With the closing movement, it will
come out partially so that the hand catch
is accessible (fig. 123).

SUNROOF RADIO
TRANSMITTERS
AND CELL PHONES
Cell phones and other radio transmitter de-
vices (CB for instance) may not be used in-
side the car, unless a separate aerial is used
fitted outside the car.
Moreover the transmission and reception
efficiency of these devices may be down-
graded by the screening effect of the car
body.
The use of cell phones, CB
transmitters or the like in-
side the passenger compartment
(without outside aerial) produces
radio frequency electromagnetic
fields which, amplified by the reso-
nance effects inside the passenger
compartment, may cause, besides
potential health hazards for the
passengers, also malfunctioning of
the electronic systems with which
the vehicle is fitted, such as engine
control unit, ABS/EBD control unit
etc., which could adversely affect
vehicle safety.
WARNING
Do not open the sunroof
with snow or ice on it:
damage may result.
WARNING
Open and close the sunroof
only with the vehicle sta-
tionary.
WARNING
Improper use of the sunroof
can be dangerous. Before
and while operating it, always
make sure that the passengers are
not exposed to the risk of harm
caused either directly by the sun-
roof in motion or by personal items
drawn or knocked by it.
