Your vehicle comes with two kinds
of keys: a master key and a valet key.
The master key fits all the locks on
your vehicle:

keep the trunk, trunk release handle and rear seat trunk access locked
when you leave your vehicle and

Trunk, page 55.)
You should have received a key number plate with your set of keys.
You will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced.
Keep the plate stored in a safe place.
When replacing keys, use only Honda-approved key blanks.

either door, the light will go out in about 30 seconds and the doors will
automatically relock. If you relock
the doors with the remote

immediately.
If you installed a non-Honda radio in
your vehicle, the keyless entry system and the interior light will no
longer work.
You cannot lock or unlock the doors
with the remote transmitter if either door is not fully closed or the key isin the ignition switch. Horn Operation
