AUXILIARY INPUT JACK

When the appropriate audio unit is connected to the auxiliary input jack, press the CD/AUX or AUX button to select the unit.

ExceptRTandDXmodels The auxiliary input jack is on the tray above the glove box. The system will accept auxiliary input from standard audio accessories.

Radio Theft Protection If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead, the audio system disables itself. If this happens, you will see ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the frequency display next time you turn on the system. Use the preset bars (icons on models with navigation system) to enter the five-digit code. The code is on the Anti-theft Identification Card included in your owner’s manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing.

The Anti-theft Identification Card also lists your audio serial number. It is best to store the card in a safe place at home. In addition, you should write the audio system’s serial number in this owner’s manual.

U.S.owners We recommend that you register the security code at Owner Link (owners. honda.com). If you lose the Anti- theft Identification Card before registering the code at Owner Link, you must obtain the code from your dealer or com/ audio system’s serial number. If you do not have the serial number with you, ask your dealer or go to for radio-navicode.honda.com/ information on how to retrieve it.

To set the time, press the CLOCK button until you hear a beep. The displayed time begins to blink.

Press and hold the H (Preset 1) side of the bar until the hour advances to the desired time. Press and hold the M (Preset 2) side of the bar until the minutes advance to the desired time.

Press the clock set button again to enter the set time.

For example:

Security System

Ifequipped The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, license plate lights, and taillights flashes if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the audio unit. This alarm continues for two minutes, then the system resets. To deactivate the system before the two minutes have elapsed, unlock the driver’s door with the key or the remote transmitter.

The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, hood, and the In-Bed Trunk. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors from the outside with the key, or use driver’s lock tab, door lock switch, or remote transmitter. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself.

208

SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR

Once the security system sets, opening any door (without using the key or the remote transmitter), the hood, or the In-Bed Trunk, will cause the alarm to activate. It also activates if the radio and navigation components are removed from the dashboard or the wiring is cut.

12/08/09 16:26:36 31SJC670_216

Security System

The security system does not set if the hood, In-Bed Trunk, or any door is not fully closed. If the system will not set, check the door and tailgate open monitor and In-Bed Trunk open indicator on the instrument panel (see pages ) to see if the doors and In-Bed Trunk are fully closed. Since it is not part of the monitor display, manually check the hood.

Cruise Control

Cruise control allows you to maintain a set speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. It should be used for cruising on straight, open highways. It is not recommended for city driving, winding roads, slippery roads, heavy rain, or bad weather.

Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash.

Use the cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.

Ifequipped The HomeLink Universal Transceiver built into your vehicle can be programmed to operate up to three remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or home security systems.

HomeLink Universal Transceiver

General Information Before programming your HomeLink to operate a garage door opener, confirm that the opener has an external entrapment protection system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’ or other safety and reverse stop features.

If your garage door was manufactured before April 1, 1982, you may not be able to program HomeLink to operate it. These units do not have safety features that cause the motor to stop and reverse it if an obstacle is detected during closing, increasing the risk of injury.

Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features.

CONTINUED

213

12/08/09 16:27:11 31SJC670_221

HomeLink Universal Transceiver

Units manufactured between April 1, 1982 and January 1, 1993 may be equipped with safety stop and reverse features. If your unit does not have an external entrapment protection system, an easy test to confirm the function and performance of the safety stop and reverse feature is to lay a 2
under the closing door. The door should stop and reverse upon contacting the piece of wood. As an additional safety feature, garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993 are required to have external entrapment protection systems, such as an electronic eye, which detect an object obstructing the door.

×

Important Safety Precautions Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have this information, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Before programming HomeLink to a garage door or gate opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential injury or damage. When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage.

Training HomeLink Beforeyoubegin received your vehicle and have not trained any of the buttons in HomeLink before, you should erase any previously learned codes before training the first button. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons on the HomeLink transceiver for about 20 seconds, until the red indicator flashes. Release the buttons, then proceed to step 1.
