Keys and Locks
KEY NUMBER TAG
IGNITION KEYS WITH REMOTE TRANSMITTER
Two ignition keys come with your vehicle. You should keep one of them in a safe place, away from the vehicle, as a spare.
They fit all the locks on your vehicle.
126
You should have received a key number tag with your keys. You will need this number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Use only Honda-approved key blanks.
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.
10/09/02 13:58:07 31TM8610_132
If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key, contact your dealer.
Do not attempt to alter this system or add other devices to it. Electrical problems could result that may make your vehicle inoperable.
If you lose your key and you cannot start the engine, contact your dealer.
Always take the ignition key with you whenever you leave the vehicle alone.
The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, 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. 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.
The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key chain) is near the ignition switch when you insert the key.
