101Interior Features
Your Passport comes with two
keys.
METAL PLATE
WITH KEY CODE
The key code number is stamped
on the metal plate attached to the
key ring.
For vehicle security:
•Record the key code number.
•Keep the key code number
plate in a safe place,
NOT IN
THE VEHICLE
. If the original keys are lost,
duplicates can be made using the
key code number. Contact any
Honda dealer or a locksmith.
Steering Column
Lock/Ignition Switch
The ignition switch, on the right
side of the steering column, has
five positions:
LOCK
— The normal parking
position. This locks the steering
and prevents normal use of the
steering wheel.
The key can be removed only
when the ignition is in this
position. On automatic
transmission models, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to the
“
LOCK” position unless the shift
lever has first been placed in the
“P” position. The shift lever is
then locked.
ACC (Accessory)—In this
position, you can use some
electrical accessories when the
engine is not running.
ON—The normal driving
position.
START—This position starts the
engine. The switch returns to
ON
when you release the key.
Keys and Ignition

102Interior Features
The anti-theft steering column
lock is not interconnected with the
parking brake. You must always
set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle.
To prevent discharging the battery,
avoid use of electrical accessories
with the engine shut off.
For easier key operation when
unlocking, rotate the steering
wheel slightly to relieve pressure
on the steering lock.
Key Removal
Manual Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped,
remove the key from the switch
by turning it to the “
LOCK”
position and removing it.
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.
Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
Automatic Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped, place
the automatic transmission shift
lever in “P” (Park) position. Turn
the key to the “
LOCK” position.
Key Reminder
The key reminder circuit causes a
beeper to sound when the door is
held open with the key left in the
ignition switch. This is to help
prevent accidentally locking the
key inside the vehicle. The beeper stops when the door is
closed or when the key is removed.
Guard Against Theft
Your new Passport has features to
help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment, and its contents.
These anti-theft features work
depending on how well you use
them.
•Park in a well-lighted area
whenever possible.
•Lock the steering column and
take the key with you.
–
Turn the ignition switch to
“
LOCK” and remove the key.
This locks both the ignition
switch and steering control.

the adjustment switch to move
the mirror right, left, up, or

4. When you finish, move the selector switch to the center
(off) position. This turns off
the adjustment switch so a

of position if you accidentally
bump the switch. The outside mirror on the
passenger

Objects look farther away than
they really are. Use this mirror to
get a “wide view.” Do not use it to
judge the distance of things
behind you.
Vanity Mirrors
The vanity mirrors are on the back
of the sun visors.
The light next to the mirror will
come on when the headlight
switch is in either
ON position.

Closing a power window on
someone’s hands or fingers can
cause serious injury.
Make sure your passengers are
away from the windows before
closing them.
107Interior Features
All the windows can be operated
by the window control switches
on the driver
’s door panel. The
