AUTO The automatic lighting feature turns on the headlights, all other exterior lights, and the instrument panel lights when it senses low ambient light.
To turn on automatic lighting, turn the light switch to AUTO. The lights will come on automatically when the outside light level becomes low (at dusk, for example). The lights on indicator comes on as a reminder. The lights and indicator will turn off automatically when the system senses high ambient light.
The lights will remain on when you turn off the ignition switch. They will turn off automatically when you open and close the driver’s door. To turn them on again, either turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position or turn the light switch to the

Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
AFS Off Switch
Here are some operating characteristics of the AFS:
The system requires an initialization period. It does not begin to operate until you have driven the vehicle a short distance.
At a stop, the right headlight turns right when you turn the steering wheel to the right. But the left headlight does not turn left when you turn the steering wheel to the left. This prevents the left headlight from pointing at oncoming traffic.
AFS is turned off when the shift lever is in the R position.
AFS OFF SWITCH
This switch is at the right side of the left vent. Press it to turn the AFS on and off. When AFS is off, the AFS indicator comes on as a reminder when you turn on the headlights.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the AFS is turned on if it was on previously.
Automatic Headlight Adjusting System The AFS works with the automatic headlight adjusting system to sense changes in vehicle height due to driving and loading conditions of passengers and luggage, and adjusts the vertical aim of the low beam headlights automatically to compensate for load.
If the headlights do not seem to be properly aimed, have the automatic headlight adjusting system inspected by your dealer.

Keys and Locks, Immobilizer System
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.
Protect the keys from direct sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity.
Do not drop the keys or set heavy objects on them.
Keep the keys away from liquids. If they get wet, dry them immediately with a soft cloth.
The keys do not contain batteries. Do not try to take them apart.
Immobilizer System The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine will not start.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the immobilizer system indicator should come on briefly, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the Honda smart key or built-in key.

This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants
against the likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.
After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal position.
If the restraints do not return to their normal position, or in the event of a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by an Acura dealer.

To select a memorized position, do this:
1.
Make sure the shift lever is in Park.
2.
Press the desired memory button (1 or 2) until you hear a beep.
The system will move the seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors to the memorized positions. The indicator in the selected memory button will flash during movement. When the adjustments are complete, you will hear two beeps, and the indicator will remain on.

Driving Position Memory System
You can use the adjustment switches to change the positions of the seat, steering wheel, or outside mirrors after they are in their memorized position. If you change the memorized position, the indicator in the memory button will go out. To keep this driving position for later use, you must store it in the driving position memory.
To stop the system’s automatic adjustment, do any of the following:
Press any button on the control panel: MEMO, 1, or 2.
Push any of the adjustment switches for the seat or steering wheel.
Shift out of Park.
Adjust the outside mirrors.
If you select a memorized position without pushing the ignition switch knob or inserting the built-in key in the ignition switch, only the seat and outside mirrors will adjust. To get the system to also adjust the steering wheel, push and turn the ignition switch or insert the built-in key in the ignition switch. You will hear two beeps when it is complete.
