Immobilizer System - Acura 2011 TL Owner's Manual

You should have received a key
number tag with your keys. You will
need this key number if you ever
have to get a lost key replaced. Use
only Acura-approved key blanks.

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an
improperly coded key or keyless
＊
access remote (or other device) is
used, the engine's fuel system is
disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, or select the
ON mode with the engine start/ ＊
stop button, the immobilizer system
indicator should come on briefly,
then go off. If the indicator starts to
blink, it means the system does not
recognize the coding of the key or
keyless access remote.
On models without keyless access
system, turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK (0) position, remove the
key, reinsert it, and turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position again.
