Acura 2012 RL, Owner'S Manual

Page: 321 / 562

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