Acura 2008 TL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 188)

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, master door lock
switch, or remote transmitter. The
security system indicator next to the
driver’s door lock starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the remote
transmitter without triggering the
alarm. The alarm will sound if the
trunk is opened with the trunk
release button on the driver’s door,
the trunk release handle behind the
trunk pass-through cover, or the
emergency trunk opener.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
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 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 use the
remote transmitter.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the door and trunk open
monitor on the multi-information
display (see page
) to see if the
doors and trunk are fully closed.
Since it is not part of the monitor
display, manually check the hood.
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
system to alarm. It also alarms if the
audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
