Theft Protection
Your car's audio system will disable
itself
if it is disconnected from
electrical power for any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system's code
number and serial number.
It is best
to store this card
in a safe place at
horne.
In addition, you should write
the audio system's serial number
in
this Owner's Manual. If you should
happen to lose
the card, you must
obtain the code number from your
Honda dealer. To do this, you
will
need the system's serial number.
If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio fuse is
removed,
the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see "Code" in the frequency
display the next time you turn on the
system.
Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code.
If it is
entered correctly, the radio
will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code,
do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code.
You have ten tries to
enter the correct code.
If you are
unsuccessful
in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again.
Audio System
You will have to store your favorite
stations
in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.

Engine Oil
The oil container may also display
the
API Certification seal. Make sure
it says
"For Gasoline Engines."
158 Maintenance
The SAE numbers tell you the oil's
viscosity or weight. Select the
oil for
your car according to this chart.
60
. 10 20
" ~ c" ' -c '
AnlbielltTertlperature
An oil with a viscosity of lOW-30 is
preferred for improved fuel economy
and year-round protection in your
Honda.
You may use a 5W-40 oil if
the temperature in your area goes
below oaF (
-20°C).
Synthetic Oil
You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given for conventional motor
oil:
energy conserving, a service
classification of
SJ, and the proper
weight as shown on the chart. When
using synthetic
oil, you must follow
the
oil and filter change intervals
given
in the maintenance schedule.
Additives
Your Honda does not need any oil
additives. Purchasing additives for
the engine or transmission will not
increase your car's performance or
longevity.
It only increases the cost
of operating your car.
