SYMBOLS
Some components of the car have coloured labels whose sym-
bols indicate precautions to be observed when using this compo-
nent. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all
the symbols.
ALFA ROMEO CODE SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking system which increases pro-
tection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically ac-
tivated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the sig-
nal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition de-
vice. This signal is the ‘password’ which changes at each ignition
and which the control unit uses to recognise the key and enable
ignition.
OPERATION
The Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit sends an acknowl-
edgement code to the engine management control unit to deacti-
vate the inhibitor each time the car is started by turning the igni-
tion key to MAR.
The code is sent only if the Alfa Romeo CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Alfa Romeo
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management
control unit. Warning light
Ylights up on the instrument panel
if the code is not correctly recognised during ignition.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still
locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. If you
are still unable to start the engine contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.

air distribution settings in the passenger compartment:
xAir flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to
demist/defrost them.

dashboard vents, rear vent and windscreen and front side win-
dow demisting/defrosting vents.
rAir flow distribution to centre/side dashboard vents (pas-

in the unstable position for less than half a second. The direction
indicator on the selected side flashes five times and then switch-
es off automatically. IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog. Un-
der these circumstances, these lights are therefore turned on man-
ually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned on. When the lights are automatically switched off, the front
and rear fog lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next
time the lights are switched on automatically, the fog lights must
be reactivated manually (if required).

the main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to
turn these lights on, turn A ring fig. 40 to position
2and turn
the dipped beam headlights on.
When the lights have been activated automatically and are then
switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched
off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched on independently of the out-
side light level and the sensor fault is indicated on the instrument
panel display. It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch
on these light.
