2010 ACURA ZDX display

Your vehicle's audio system may
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific five-digit code with
the preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from the 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 code number
and serial number. It is best to store
this card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system's serial number in this
owner's manual.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system's serial number.NOTE:
In the U.S., if you have a My
Acura account, you can retrieve the
anti-theft code online.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE ’’in the frequency display (on
the display on models with
navigation system) the next time you
turn on the system. Use the preset
buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is located on the radio code
card included in your owner's
manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have 10 tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in 10 attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour before trying again. The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.Radio Theft Protection37409/10/28 17:15:37 10 ACURA ZDX KA KC New North America Own 50 31SZN600 enu

ACC ComponentsIf equippedAdaptive cruise control (ACC)
consists of a radar sensor in the front
grille, the ACC buttons on the
steering wheel, and the ACC
functions of the multi-information
display.
The radar sensor for ACC is shared
with the collision mitigation braking
system™(CMBS ™). For more
information on the radar sensor, see
page 499. For more information on
CMBS, see page 498.

Overview
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows
you to maintain a set speed and keep
the vehicle ahead of you and your
vehicle at a safe distance without
having to use the accelerator pedal or
the brake pedal.
When the vehicle ahead of you slows
down or speeds up, ACC senses the
change in distance and compensates
by accelerating or braking your
vehicle to reach the cruising speed
you previously set. The distance
between vehicles is based on your
speed: the faster you go, the longer
the distance will be; the slower you
go, the shorter it will be.If the vehicle ahead of you slows
down suddenly or another vehicle
cuts in front of your vehicle, ACC
alerts you by sounding a beeper and
displaying a message on the multi-
information display.
The ACC radar sensor in the front
grille can detect and monitor the
distance of a vehicle up to 328 feet
(100 meters) ahead of your vehicle.
For more information on the radar
sensor, see page 499.
Important Safety Precautions
As with any system, there are limits
to ACC. Inappropriate use of ACC
can result in a serious accident. Use
the brake pedal whenever necessary,
and always keep a safe distance
between your vehicle and other
vehicles.Do not use ACC under these
conditions:
●In poor visibility.●In heavy traffic.●When you must slow down and
speed up repeatedly.●On winding roads.●When you enter a toll gate,
interchange, service area, parking
area, etc. In these areas, there is
no vehicle ahead of you, but ACC
would still try to accelerate to your
set speed.●In bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.)●On a slippery road (for example a
road covered with ice or snow).

If the vehicle ahead of you slows
down abruptly, or if another vehicle
cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds
and a message appears on the multi-
information display to warn you.
In this case, decelerate your vehicle
by pressing the brake pedal, and
keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
If CMBS is turned off, there is no
multi-information display message
and the warning beep does not
sound.
When a vehicle ahead is within ACCrange and going at a steady speedYour vehicle follows the vehicle
ahead of it, keeping a constant
distance. ACC will not keep your
vehicle at a constant distance if the
vehicle ahead of you goes out of
range of your set speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows
down and changes lanes, ACC no
longer tracks it. Your vehicle will
then return to your set speed.

Limitations●ACC does not work below 25 mph
(40 km/h). It cannot bring your
vehicle to a complete stop.●ACC will not sound a beeper or
display a message on the multi-
information display to warn you of
vehicles going slower than 13 mph
(20 km/h) or vehicles that are
parked. In these cases, it is up to
you to maintain a safe distance by
using the brake pedal.●ACC may not recognize
motorcycles or other small
vehicles ahead of your vehicle.●ACC may react to vehicles beside
you or even a building beside you
by momentarily applying the
brakes or sounding a beeper
under conditions such as a sudden
curve or narrowing of the road, an
abrupt movement of the steering
wheel, or if you are in an unusual
position within your lane.Using the ACC
1. Push the MAIN button on the
steering wheel. The ACC indicator
on the instrument panel comes on,
and ‘‘ACC ’’is shown on the multi-
information display.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed above 25 mph (40 km/h).
3. Press and release the SET/DECEL button on the steering
wheel, then release the accelerator
pedal.
If you press the SET/DECEL button
when the vehicle speed is below 25
mph (40 km/h), you will hear a beep
about 1 second. This means ACC is
not activated, and you cannot set
your speed.
