Immobilizer System
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 (O), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn
the switch to ON (II)
a gam.
The system may not recognize your
key's coding
if another immobilizer
key 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.
If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of your key,
contact your Honda dealer.
This indicator will also blink several
times when you turn the ignition
switch from
ON (II) to ACCESSORY
(I) or LOCK (0).
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to
it. Electrical
problems could result
that may make
your car undriveable.
If you have lost your key and you
cannot start the engine, contact your
Honda dealer.
