HONDA 2008 Ridgeline - Manual (Page 172)

The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the In-Bed Trunk.
For the system to activate, you must
lock the doors from the outside with
the key, driver’s lock tab, door lock
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator above the
driver’s door lock tab starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the In-Bed Trunk, will cause
it to alarm. It also alarms if the radio
and navigation components are
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, license
plate lights, and taillights flash if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the radio. This
alarm continues for 2 minutes, then
the system resets. To reset an
alarming system before the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
The security system will not set if
the hood, In-Bed Trunk, or any door
is not fully closed. If the system will
not set, check the door and tailgate
open monitor and In-Bed Trunk open
indicator on the instrument panel
(see pages
and ) to see if the
doors and In-Bed Trunk are fully
closed. Since it is not part of the
monitor display, manually check the
hood.
Use the remote transmitter
to quickly check that the hood,
In-Bed Trunk, and all doors are
closed. Push the lock button twice
within 5 seconds. There should be an
audible confirmation beep.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
