Your car's exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. You should have no
problem with carbon monoxide
entering the car in normal driving if
you maintain your car properly.
Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever: The car is raised for an oil change.
You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust.
The car was in an accident that
may have damaged the underside.


High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such a
s a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
vehicle out of the garage. With the trunk lid open, air flow can
pull exhaust gas into your car's
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
trunk lid open, open all the windows
and set the climate control system as
shown below.
If you must sit in your parked car,
even in an unconfined area, with the
engine running, adjust the heating
and cooling system as follows: 1. Select the Fresh Air mode. 2. Select the mode.
3. Turn the fan on high speed.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill
you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or
activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide.

Anti-lock Brak e Syste m
(ABS ) Indicato r
This light normally comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON (II), and when
the ignition switch is turned to START (III). If this light comes on at
any other time, there is a problem in the ABS. If this happens, take the
car to your dealer to have it checked.

s an d Lock s
Key s

Your car comes with two master
keys and a valet key.
The master key fits all the locks on
your car: Ignition
Doors
Trunk
Trunk release handle

Rear seat trunk access
Glove box
The valet key works only in the
ignition and the door locks. You can
keep the trunk, trunk release handle,
rear seat trunk access and the glove
box locked when you leave your car
and the valet key at a parking facility.
You should have received a key
number plate with your keys. You
will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Keep
the plate stored in a safe place. If youneed to replace a key, use only an
Acura-approved key blank.
Immobilize r Syste m
The Immobilizer System protects
your car from theft. A properly- coded master or valet key must be
used in the ignition switch for the
engine to start. If an improperly- coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine's fuel system is disabled. When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)

again.

The system may not recognize your key's coding if another immobilizerkey or other metal object is near the
ignition switch when you insert the
key. To make sure the system
recognizes the key code: Do not keep other immobilizer
keys on the same key ring. Use a plastic or leather key fob,
not metal. Keep other keys away from your
vehicle's key and the ignition
switch while trying to start the

engine.

All doors can be locked from the outside by using the key in either
front door. To unlock only the driver's door from the outside, insert the key
in the driver's door lock, turn the key and release it. If you turn the key
and hold it, all doors will unlock. All
four doors will unlock when you
unlock the passenger's door with the

The childproof door locks are designed to prevent children seated
in the rear from accidentally opening
the rear doors. Each rear door has a
lock lever near the edge. With the lever in the LOCK position, the door
cannot be opened from the inside
regardless of the position of the lock
tab. To open the door, pull the lock
tab up and use the outside door

handle.

you need to give the key to someone
else, lock the trunk release handle
with the master key and give the other person the valet key.
