Keys and Locks, Immobilizer System

Immobilizer System The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly coded key or keyless access remote (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.

When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, or select the ON mode with the engine start/ stop button, the immobilizer system indicator should come on briefly, then go off. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key or keyless access remote.

On models without keyless access system, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position, remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position again.

On models with keyless access system, set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), then select the ON mode again.

The system may not recognize your key’s or remote’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key chain) is near the ignition switch or the keyless access remote when you insert the key or set the power mode to ON.

Seats

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.

For a head restraint system to work properly:

Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.

Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.

Install each restraint in its proper location.
