Acura 2003 NSX, Owner'S Manual

Page: 127 / 303

The security system helps to protect
your car and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and all the exterior
lights flash if someone attempts to
break into your car or remove the
radio. The system alarms continue
for two minutes unless you turn it off
manually. To turn the system off,
unlock either door with the key.
The security system sets automati-
cally fifteen seconds after you lock
the doors, hood, rear window, roof
panel and trunk. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors
from the outside with the key, lock
tab, or door lock switch (see page
). The security system light next
to the driver’s door lock starts blink-
ing immediately to show you the
system is setting itself.
Once the security system is set,
opening either door (without the
key), the hood, roof panel or the rear
window will cause it to alarm. It also
alarms if the radio is removed from
the dashboard or the wiring is cut.
With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
without triggering the alarm. The
alarm will sound if the trunk lock is
forced or smashed, or the trunk is
opened with the release button on
the driver’s door.
The security system does not set if
the hood, rear window, trunk, roof
panel or either door is not latched
completely. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Lamp Monitor
on the instrument panel (see page
), to see if the doors, rear window,
roof panel and trunk are fully closed.
Since it is not monitored, manually
check the hood. 67
