Acura 2009 Accord Sedan - Manual (Page 387)

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
activated system before the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or use the
remote transmitter/keyless access
remote. With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the remote
transmitter/keyless access remote
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.
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.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
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
(keyless access remote on models
with keyless access system). The
security system indicator on the
instrument panel starts blinking
immediately to show you the system
is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter/
keyless access remote), 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.
