Keys and Locks
Learning Key
You should also receive a small case
containing a learning key. It is used
by the Honda dealer to code replace-
ment keys to your car's Immobilizer
System. It must not be used in your
car's ignition switch. Store the learn-
ing key with the key number plate in
a safe place.
If you attempt to use the learning
key to start your car's engine, it may
cause a malfunction in the system
that makes your master and valet
keys unusable. If this happens, you
should contact your Honda dealer.
If you need a new key made, take the
key number plate, the learning key,
and all other keys that came with
your car to your Honda dealer.
Remote Transmitter
Your car also comes with two remote
for an
explanation of the operation.
Immobilizer System
The Immobilizer System protects
your car from theft. A properly-
coded ignition key must be used in
the ignition switch for the engine to
start. If an improperly-coded key (or
other device) is used, the engine's
fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II). the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)
again.
