also sound when you open the
driver's door.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. VEHICLE OFF (LOCK)
mode is the equivalent of LOCK (0)
and ACCESSORY mode is the
equivalent of ACCESSORY (I). For
more information, see pages 194 and
196.

turn on the fog lights. For more
information, see page 141.High Beam Indicator

ca,
or call 1-888-9-ACURA-9.
On models with navigation systemYou can see HFL information on the
navigation screen (see page 418). Battery Charge Low
When the battery's state of charge is
low, the vehicle's battery
management system triggers one of
the following
‘‘BATTERY CHARGE
LOW ’’messages if the ignition is on
or off.
Depending on how low the battery's
state of charge dropped and how
long it remained low, these messages
may occur frequently. It may take a
number of trips to sufficiently
recharge the battery and the
messages to no longer appear.
IGN ON (II) －Immediately turn off
all electrical devices (interior lights,
air conditioning, audio, heated seats,
etc.). Try not to operate other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Driving the
vehicle will recharge the battery. If
the message continues to display
while driving, see your dealer.
