Acura 2008 TSX, Owner'S Manual

Page: 211 / 390

The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or any door is not
fully closed. Before you leave the
vehicle, make sure the doors, trunk,
and hood are securely closed.
The security system helps to protect
your vehicle and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flash if
someone attempts to break into your
vehicle or remove the radio. This
alarm continues for 2 minutes, then
the system resets. To reset an
alarming system before the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s door with the key or use the
remote transmitter.
The security system automatically
sets 15 seconds (depending on the
‘‘SECURITY RELOCK TIMER’’
setting) after you lock the doors,
hood, and trunk. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors
from the outside with the key, lock
tab, door lock switch, or remote
transmitter. The security system
indicator in the instrument panel
starts blinking immediately to show
you the system is setting itself.
With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the remote
transmitter without triggering the
alarm. The alarm will sound if the
trunk lock is forced, or the trunk is
opened with the trunk release handle
or the emergency trunk opener.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
To see if the system is set
after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, the horn will beep
once.
Once the security system is set,
opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), the
hood, or the trunk will cause it to
sound. It also sounds if the radio is
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.
