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

The HomeLink
®Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle can
be programmed to operate up to three
remote controlled devices around
your home, such as garage doors,
lighting, or home security systems.
General Safety InformationBefore programming your HomeLink
to operate a garage door opener,
confirm that the opener has an
external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye, ’’or
other safety and reverse stop features.
If your garage door was manufactured
before April 1, 1982, you may not be
able to program HomeLink to operate
it. These units do not have safety
features that cause the motor to stop
and reverse it if an obstacle is
detected during closing, increasing
the risk of injury. Do not use
HomeLink with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features. Units manufactured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with safety stop and reverse
features. If your unit does not have an
external entrapment protection
system, an easy test to confirm the
function and performance of the safety
stop and reverse feature is to lay a 2
╳
4 under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature, garage
door openers manufactured after
January 1, 1993 are required to have
external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing the
door.
Important Safety PrecautionsRefer to the safety information that came
with your garage door opener to test that
the safety features are functioning
properly. If you do not have this
information, contact the manufacturer of
the equipment.
Before programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make sure
that people and objects are out of the way
of the device to prevent potential injury or
damage.
When programming a garage door opener,
park just outside the garage.Training HomeLinkBefore you begin
－ If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink before, you should erase
any previously learned codes before
training the first button.
To do this, press and hold the two
outside buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator flashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.

The sensor on the negative terminal
monitors your vehicle's battery
condition.
If there is a problem with the sensor,
you will see a‘‘CHECK BATTERY
SENSOR’’ message on the multi-
information display. Have the vehicle
checked by your dealer.
Check the terminals for corrosion (a
white or yellowish powder). To
remove it, cover the terminals with a
solution of baking soda and water. It
will bubble up and turn brown. When
this stops, wash it off with plain
water. Dry off the battery with a cloth
or paper towel. Coat the terminals
with grease to help prevent further
corrosion.
If additional battery maintenance is
needed, see your dealer or a
qualified technician. WARNING:
Battery posts,
terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash your hands after handling.
If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damaging your vehicle's
electrical system. Always disconnect
the negative (－ ) cable first, and
reconnect it last.
The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the
battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt
you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled
technician do the battery
maintenance.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system may disable itself. The next
time you turn on the radio, you will
see ‘‘ENTER CODE ’’in the
frequency display. Use the preset
buttons to enter the code (see page
374).
