Acura 2004 TSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 176)

Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause it to
sound. It also sounds if the radio is
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.
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,
lock tab, door lock switch, or remote
transmitter. The security system
indicator on the instrument panel
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 lock is forced, or the trunk is
opened with the trunk release handle
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 instrument panel
(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.
The security system helps to protect
your car 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
car 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 either front door
with the key or the remote
transmitter.
