The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from
theft. The horn sounds and a
combination of headlights, parking/
side marker lights and taillights
flashes if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle or remove the audio
unit. This alarm continues for 2
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an activated system before the
2 minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver's door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors and the tailgate from the
outside with the key, driver's lock
tab, door lock master switch, or
remote transmitter. The security
system indicator on the instrument
panel starts blinking immediately to
show you the system is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the tailgate, or the
hood without using the key or the
remote transmitter, will cause the
alarm to activate. It also activates if
the audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The alarm will also activate if a
passenger inside the locked vehicle
turns the ignition switch on.The security system will not set if the
hood, tailgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set,

indicator on the instrument panel

modifications or add any accessories,
be sure to read the followinginformation. Accessories
Your dealer has Honda accessories
that allow you to personalize your
vehicle. These accessories have been
designed and approved for your
vehicle, and are covered by warranty.
Although non-Honda accessories

● Make sure the accessory does not
obscure any lights, or interfere
with proper vehicle operation or
performance.
● Be sure electronic accessories do
not overload electrical circuits (see
page 307) or interfere with proper
operation of your vehicle.
● Before installing any electronic
accessory, have the installer
contact your dealer for assistance.
If possible, have your dealer
inspect the final installation.
● Do not install accessories on the
side pillars or across the rear
