HONDA 2002 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 183)

Once the security system is set,
opening either door (without using
the key or the remote transmitter),
or the hood, will cause it to alarm. It
also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.
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 flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
car or remove the radio. This alarm
continues for two minutes, then the
system resets. To reset an alarming
system before the two minutes have
elapsed, unlock either door with the
key or the remote transmitter.
The security system sets auto-
matically fifteen 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 light next to the driver’s door
lock starts blinking immediately to
show you the system is setting itself.
With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or the remote transmitter (if the
transmitter is equipped with a trunk
opener) 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 either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Brake Lamp
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.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
