Security System - Acura 2011 RDX Owner's Manual

Security System

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

Once the security system is set,

if the audio unit is removed from the
dashboard or the wiring is cut.

The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger inside the locked vehicle
turns the ignition switch on.
The security system will not set if the

make sure the doors, tailgate, and
hood are securely closed.

after you exit the vehicle, press the
LOCK button on the remote
transmitter within 5 seconds. If the
system is set, a beep will sound.
