Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
f rom electrical power f or any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code
(except f or U.S. EX model with
navigation system)/f our-digit code
(U.S. EX model with navigation
system) in the preset buttons.
Because there are hundreds of
number combinations possible f rom
five or four-digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
Youshouldhavereceivedacardthat
lists your audio system’s code and
serial numbers. It is best to store this
card in a saf e place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this owner’s
manual.If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit (except f or U.S. EX model
with navigation system)/f our-digit
(U.S. EX model with navigation
system) sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have 10 tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessf ul in 10 attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour bef ore trying again.
If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, or the
radio f use is removed, the audio
system will disable itself . Use the
preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (except f or U.S. EX model with
navigation system)/f our-digit code
(U.S. EX model with navigation
system). The code is on the radio
code card included in your owner’s
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system’s
serial number.

If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem with your
vehicle. Leave the blown fuse in
that circuit, and have your vehicle
checked by a qualif ied mechanic.
If you cannot drive the vehicle
without f ixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
f rom one of the other circuits. Make
sureyoucandowithoutthatcircuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown f use with a
spare f use that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
f use with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
If the driver’s power window f use is
removed, the AUTO f unction of the
driver’s window will be disabled. To
reset the AUTO f unction, see page
.
Look f or a blown wire inside the
f use. If it is blown, replace it with
oneof thesparefusesof thesame
rating or lower. The spare f uses
are provided back of the under-
hood f use cover. 6.

Replacing a f use with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a
replacement f use with the proper rating
f or the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.
