Your vehicle’s audio system may
disable itself if it is disconnected
f rom electrical power f or any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code with
the preset buttons. Because there
are hundreds of number
combinations possible f rom the f ive
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code is
nearly impossible.
You should have received a radio
code card that lists your audio
system’s code and serial numbers. It
is best to store this card in a saf e
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 f rom your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system’s serial number.If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour bef ore trying again.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
If you have a My Acura account, you
can retrieve the anti-theft code online.
If your vehicle’s battery is discon-
nected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. If this
happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER
CODE’’ in the frequency display
(on the center 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 on the
radio code card included in your
owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the
radio will start playing.

The HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remote controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
Bef ore programming your
HomeLink to operate a garage door
opener, conf irm that the opener has
an external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’
or other saf ety and reverse stop
f eatures.
If your garage door was
manuf actured bef ore 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 saf ety
stop and reverse f eatures.
Units manuf actured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with saf ety stop and
reverse f eatures. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
conf irm the f unction and
perf ormance of the saf ety stop and
reverse f eature 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 manuf actured
af ter January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
Refer to the safety information that
came with your garage door openerto test that the safety features are
f unctioning properly. If you do not
have this information, contact the
manuf acturer of the equipment.
Bef ore programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make
sure that people and objects are out
of thewayof thedevicetoprevent
potential injury or damage.
When programming a garage door
opener, park just outside the garage.
If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 10 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.
