Acura 2006 MDX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 146)

The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds after you lock the
doors, hood, and the tailgate. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors from the outside with the key,
lock tab, 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.
The security system will not set if
the hood, tailgate, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Tailgate Open
Monitor on the instrument panel
(see page
) to see if the doors and
tailgate 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 or the tailgate
without using the key or the remote
transmitter, or opening the hood, will
cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the
radio, navigation and DVD
components are removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.
Use the remote transmitter
to quickly check that the hood,
tailgate and all doors are closed.
Push the lock button twice. There
should be an audible confirmation
beep.
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 and parking lights flash
if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle or remove the radio or
navigation and DVD components.
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.
