HONDA 2004 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 156)

Your vehicle’s audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific code using the preset
bars or the TUNE knob. Because
there are hundreds of number
combinations possible, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system’s code and
serial numbers. It is best to store this
card in a safe place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this
Owner’s Manual.
If your vehicle’s battery is discon-
nected or goes dead, or the radio
fuse is removed, the audio system
will disable itself. If this happens,
you will see ‘‘
’’/‘‘ ’’ in
the frequency display the next time
you turn on the system. Use the
preset bars to enter the code. The
code is located on the radio code
card included in your Owner’s
Manual kit. When it is entered
correctly, the radio will start playing.
If you should happen to lose the card,
you must obtain the code number
from a Honda dealer. To do this, you
will need the system’s serial number.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have ten tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful
in ten attempts, you must then leave
the system on for one hour before
trying again.
You will have to store your favorite
stations on each side of the preset
bars (1
6) or icons after the system
begins working. Your original
settings were lost when the power
was disconnected.
