2007 Acura RL keyless

Thebatteriesintheremotenormally
lasts about 2 years. To ensure
maximum battery life, do not store
the remote close to electrical devices
such as computers or TVs. When the
multi-info rmation display shows
‘‘KEYLESS REMOTE LOW
BATTERY,’’ replace the batteries as
soon as possible (see page ).
The engine does not restart if you
turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
(0) position when the remote is
outside the vehicle. Check where the
remote is. Make sure that you carry
the remote or built-in key with you
when you operate the ignition switch.
When the ignition switch is in the
ON (II) position, the multi-
inf ormation display shows
‘‘KEYLESS REMOTE NOT
DETECTED,’’ and the inside and
outside beepers sound.
The multi-inf ormation display
message goes away when you
bring the remote back inside the
vehicle, and close the door or
apply the parking brake. The outside beeper sounds when
the ignition switch is in the
ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II)
position.
If the engine is running and you
removetheremotefromthe
vehicle, it will continue to run.
Once turned to the LOCK (0)
position, the engine will not restart
until a remote is brought back into
the vehicle. If you pass the remote through an
open window, the system does not
respond.Also,evenwhentheremote
is inside the vehicle, the beeper may
sound when the location of the
remote is not detected due to
surrounding conditions. It is not a
f ailure. Make sure that you carry the
remote with you.

as a cardiac pacemaker, ask your
doctor if the electric current used by

The vehicle ‘‘senses’’ the driver
number, based on which keyless
remote is used to unlock the vehicle.
If two drivers with remotes approach
thevehicleatthesametime,the
welcome display and related settings
are based on which remote the
vehicle sensed first ‘‘senses.’’
If both remotes come within
range simultan eously, the
‘‘Welcome’’ display may be
unpredictable.
The compass system uses the driver
number (as recognized by the multi-
info rmation display) to personalize
the compass system. For example, if
Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the
‘‘Driver 1’’ personal address book
and other navigation settings are
automatically loaded when the
vehicle is started. There is no way to
change from one driver’s settings to
another while driving. For inf ormation on ‘‘linking’’ and
‘‘unlinking’’ the keyless access
remotes, see page .
When the keyless access remote is
deliberately ‘‘unlinked,’’ (as when
giving the key to a valet) the multi-
inf ormation display will display
‘‘Welcome.’’ Then the f ollowing
occurs:
The calendar f eature is not
selectable (buttons grayed out).
Setup values (like volume,
brightness, etc.) can be changed
but are not remembered the next
time you restart the vehicle. 170
