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 valet key does not contain a battery. Do not try to take it apart.

Keys and Locks, Immobilizer System

Immobilizer System 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.

Immobilizer System

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.

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 have lost your key and you cannot start the engine, contact your dealer.

146

Always take the ignition key with you whenever you leave the vehicle alone.

Tailgate

Auto-Reverse The power tailgate has an auto- reverse feature. If it meets resistance while opening or closing, it will beep three times and reverse direction. However, the tailgate may not reverse immediately. Always make sure passengers and objects are clear of the tailgate before opening or closing it.

Closing a power tailgate while anyone is in the path of the tailgate can cause serious injury.

Make sure everyone is clear before closing the power tailgate.

164

Do not install any accessories on the tailgate. It may cause the tailgate to malfunction. If there is snow or ice on the tailgate, make sure to remove it before you operate the tailgate.

If you push the tailgate release button inside the handle while the tailgate is opening or closing, the power tailgate function shuts OFF. You need to open or close it the rest of the way manually.

The tailgate has sensors on both sides. Be careful not to damage them. If the sensors are damaged, the power tailgate does not function properly.

Also check that passengers, especially children, do not have their hands on the edge of the tailgate or on the tailgate sill. The auto reverse feature stops working when the tailgate is about to latch so the motor can pull the tailgate shut.

If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected, goes dead, or the fuse is removed while the tailgate is fully open, the power tailgate needs to be reset. After connecting the battery or installing the fuse, close the tailgate fully by hand.

The power tailgate may not open or close under the these conditions:

The vehicle is parked on a steep hill. When the vehicle is swayed in a strong wind. When the tailgate or the roof is covered with snow or ice.

2011 Odyssey10/07/19 15:51:16 31TK8600_170

If you try to drive off with the tailgate open, a beeper sounds and a ‘‘DOOR & TAILGATE OPEN’’ message is shown on the multi- information display.

Keep the tailgate closed at all times while driving to avoid damaging the tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas from getting into the interior. See Carbon Monoxide Hazard 58

on page

If there is a problem in the power tailgate system, you will see a ‘‘CHECK POWER TAILGATE’’ message on the multi-information display. Have the system checked by your dealer.

With this message shown on the multi-information display, you can still open or close the tailgate manually.

Sliding Doors

ManuallyOpening/Closingthe PowerSlidingDoor You can manually open or close the sliding doors. The MAIN switch must be in the OFF position. To open a door, pull the inside or outside door handle, and slide the door back. It will latch in the fully open position. To close, pull either handle and slide the door forward. When the door is almost closed, the auto-closer will pull the door shut.

Important Sliding Door Precautions OnallmodelsexceptLX Before operating the sliding doors, check that passengers, especially children, do not have their hands on the edge of the sliding door or on the door pillar. The auto-reverse motor stops working when the door is about to latch so the auto-closer can pull the door shut.

172

Do not put any item in the door pocket that sticks out from the pocket. It can prevent the doors from opening or closing properly, and damage the vehicle body.

Closing a sliding door while any part of a passenger is in the door’s path can cause serious injury.

Make sure all passengers are clear of the doorway before closing a sliding door.

If there is an obstacle in the door sill, the power sliding door may not open or close properly. When removing the obstacle from the door sill, make sure to turn off the MAIN switch on the dashboard.

When replacing a flat tire, make sure to turn off the power sliding door MAIN switch on the dashboard.

Onallmodels Do not allow anyone to step on the lower arm of the sliding door while the door is open. This could damage the sliding door mechanism.

When you drive with children in your vehicle, use the childproof door locks (see page ). This will prevent children from opening the doors accidentally.

Refueling When you release the fuel fill door, the driver’s side sliding door automatically locks so it cannot open and interfere with the fuel door. If a passenger attempts to unlock the door by cycling the lock knob several times, the door can be opened.

If a passenger needs to get out while you are refueling, instruct that person to exit on the passenger’s side.

When you close the fuel fill door, the driver’s side sliding door unlocks if it was locked when you opened the fuel fill door.

OnallmodelsexceptLX If you open the fuel fill door while the driver’s side sliding door is opening, the sliding door stops. If this happens, the door must be operated manually.

When parking facing downhill on a steep grade, the power sliding doors may not open or close as they do normally.
