Learning Key

You should also receive a small case containing a learning key. It is used
by the Honda dealer to code replace-
ment keys to your car's Immobilizer
System. It must not be used in your
car's ignition switch. Store the learn- ing key with the key number plate in
a safe place. If you attempt to use the learning
key to start your car's engine, it may
cause a malfunction in the system that makes your master and valet
keys unusable. If this happens, you should contact your Honda dealer.
If you need a new key made, take the
key number plate, the learning key, and all other keys that came with
your car to your Honda dealer.

Remote Transmitter

Your car also comes with two remote transmitters; see page 75 for an
explanation of the operation. Immobilize
r Syste m
The Immobilizer System protects your car from theft. A properly-coded ignition key must be used in
the ignition switch for the engine tostart. If an improperly-coded key (or
other device) is used, the engine's
fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II). the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)

again.

Key
s and Locks

To lock the passenger'
s doo
r when
getting out of the car, push the lock
tab in and close the door. To lock the driver's door, remove the key from
the ignition switch and push the lock
tab in or push the master switch down, then close the door.
Both doors can be locked from the
outside by using the key in either

door.

To unlock only the driver's door from the outside, insert the key in
the driver's door lock, turn the key and release it. If you turn the key
and hold it, both doors will unlock.
Both doors will unlock when you
unlock the passenger's door with the
key. Lockout Prevention
If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, Lockout Prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver's door. With the driver's door open
and the key in the ignition, both
master door lock switches are disabled. However, if the driver's
door is not open, the master door
lock switches are not disabled. Pushing the switch down on the
open passenger's door will lock both
doors. If you try to lock an open driver's door by pushing in the lock
tab, the tabs on both doors pop out. Pushing in the lock tab on the
passenger's door only locks that door. You can lock and unlock your car
with the remote transmitter. Whenyou push the LOCK button, both doors lock.
When you push the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks.
The passenger's door unlocks when you push the button a second time.

UNLOCK button. If you d
o not open
either door, the light will go out in
about 10 seconds and the doors will

immediately.
You cannot lock or unlock the doors with the remote transmitter if eitherdoor is not fully closed or the key is

Replacing the Battery

When the remote transmitter's battery begins to get weak, it maytake several pushes on the button to
lock or unlock the doors, and the LED will get dim. Replace the
battery as soon as possible.
Battery type: CR2025
To replace the battery, remove the
round cover on the back of the trans-mitter by turning it counterclockwise
with a coin.
Remove the old battery and note the
polarity. Make sure the polarity of
the new battery is the same (
+ side
facing up), then insert
it in the
