ACURA Security System Guide
Immobilizer System
This system prevents a key that has not been preregistered from starting the engine. Pay attention to the following when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
- Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/STOP button.
- Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
- Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE START/STOP button.
- Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as televisions and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can become magnetic.
Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates when the trunk, hood or doors are forcibly opened. The alarm does not activate if the trunk or doors are opened with the key, remote transmitter or keyless access system. However, the alarm activates if a door is opened with the key and then the hood is opened before the power mode is set to ON.
When the security system alarm activates
The horn sounds intermittently and some exterior lights flash.
NOTICE
