HONDA 2001 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 81)

The Immobilizer System protects
your car from theft. A properly-
coded master or valet key must be
used in the ignition switch for the
engine to start. If an improperly-
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)
again.
Some models also come with two
remote transmitters; see page
for
an explanation of their operation.
The keys do not contain batteries.
Do not try to take them apart.
Keep the keys away from liquids.
If they get wet, dry them immedi-
ately with a soft cloth.
Do not drop the keys or set heavy
objects on them.
Protect the keys from direct
sunlight, high temperature, and
high humidity.
These keys contain electronic
circuits that are activated by the
Immobilizer System. They will not
work to start the engine if the
circuits are damaged. The valet key works only in the
ignition and the door locks. You can
keep the trunk, trunk release handle,
rear seat trunk access and the glove
box locked when you leave your car
and the valet key at a parking facility.
You should have received a key
number plate with your keys. You
will need this key number if you ever
have to get a lost key replaced. Keep
the plate stored in a safe place. If you
need to replace a key, use only
Honda-approved key blanks.
