50 Instruments and Controls

Keys and Locks
Keys
Your car comes with two master
keys and a valet key.
The master key fits all the locks on
your car:
• Ignition
• Doors
• Trunk
• Lower console compartment
58 Instruments and Controls
The valet key works only in the
ignition and the door locks. You can
keep the trunk and the lower console
compartment 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 you
need to replace a key, use only
Honda-approved key blanks.
These keys contain electronic
circuits that are activated by the
Immobilizer System.
They will not
work to start the engine if the
circuits are damaged.
• Protect the keys from direct
sunlight, high temperature, and
high humidity.
• Do not drop the keys or set heavy
objects on them.
• Keep the keys away from liquids.
If they get wet, dry them immedi­
ately with a soft cloth.
The keys do not contain batteries.
Do not try to take them apart.
Remote Transmitter
Your car also comes with two remote
transmitters; see page
63 for an
explanation of the operation.

Remote Transmitter
You can lock and unlock your car
with the remote transmitter. When
you push the
LOCK button, both
doors lock.
The side marker lights
and taillights flash once.
When you push
the UNLOCK button
once, only the driver's door unlocks.
The parking lights and taillights
flash twice.
The passenger's door
unlocks when you push the button a
second time.
The interior light (if the interior light
switch is in
the center position) will
come on when you press the
UNLOCK button. If you do not open
either door, the light will go out in
about
30 seconds and the doors will
automatically relock.
If you relock
the doors with the remote
transmitter before
30 seconds have
elapsed, the light will go off
immediately.
You cannot lock or unlock the doors
with
the remote transmitter if either
door is not fully closed
or the key is
in the ignition switch.
To open the trunk, push and hold the
TRUNK RELEASE button for
approximately one second.

Panic mode allows you to remotely
activate your car's security system to
attract attention. When activated,
the
horn will sound, and the exterior
lights will flash for about
30 seconds.
To activate panic mode, press and
hold
the PANIC button for about one
second.
To cancel Panic mode before 30
seconds, press any button on the
remote transmitter. You can also
turn the ignition switch to
0 N (II).
64 Instruments and Controls
Replacing the Battery
When the remote transmitter's
battery begins to
get weak, it may
take several pushes on the button to
lock or unlock
the doors, and the
LED will
get dim. Replace the
battery as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR2025
To replace the battery, remove the
round cover on the back of the trans­
mitter by turning it counterclockwise
with a coin.

Keys and Locks
Trunk
You can open the trunk in three
ways:
• Press the trunk release button in
the lower console compartment.
• Use the master key to open the
trunk lock.
The valet key does not
work in this lock.
• Press and hold the trunk release
button on the remote transmitter
for approximately one second (see
page
63 ).
66 Instruments and Controls
To close the trunk, press down on
the trunk lid.
To protect items in
the trunk when
you need to give the key to someone
else, lock the lower console
compartment with
the master key
and give
the other person the valet
key.
See page 124 for cargo loading and
weight limit information. Keep the
trunk lid closed
at all times while
driving to avoid damaging the lid,
and to prevent exhaust gas from
getting into
the interior. See Carbon
Monoxide Hazard
on page 39 .
