Acura 2009 Accord Sedan - Manual (Page 141)

If you turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position with the
headlight switch on, but do not open
the door and get out, the lights turn
off after 10 minutes (3 minutes, if
the switch is in the ‘‘AUTO’’
position).
This feature turns off the headlights,
all other exterior lights, and the
instrument panel lights within 15
seconds after you remove the key
and close the driver’s door.
To change the ‘‘HEADLIGHT AUTO
OFF TIMER’’ setting, see page
.
The automatic lighting feature is
controlled by a sensor located on top
of the dashboard. Do not cover this
sensor or spill liquids on it.
If you remove the key (or the vehicle
is in VEHICLE OFF mode on models
with keyless access system), and the
driver’s door is opened and closed,
the automatic lighting off feature
activates with the headlight switch in
the ‘‘
’’ or ‘‘ ’’ position, or
the lights turned on by setting the
switch in the ‘‘AUTO’’ position.
The lights will turn on again when
you unlock or open the driver’s door.
If you unlock the door, but do not
open it within 15 seconds, the lights
will go off. With the driver’s door
open, you will hear a lights on
reminder chime.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. VEHICLE OFF (LOCK)
Mode is the equivalent of LOCK (0).
See page
for ignition switch and
power mode comparison.
