Acura 2010 TSX - Manual (Page 295)

Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause the
alarm to activate. It will also activate
if the audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and trunk. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors from the outside with the key,
driver’s lock tab, door lock master
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the audio unit.
This alarm continues for two
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an activated system before the
two minutes have elapsed, unlock
the driver’s door with the key or the
remote transmitter.
To enter the clock setting, turn
the selector knob to select ‘‘SET,’’
then press the knob. The display
will return to the menu item
display.
Press either the RETURN or
MENU button to go back to the
normal display. 11.
