If your vehicle’s battery is

code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to

unsuccessful in ten attempts, youmust then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
If you have an Acura Owners
account, it is easy to retrieve the anti-
thef t code online without having to
access the serial number.

security code at Acura Owners
