Security System - Honda 1998 Accord Coupe Owner's Manual

Standard on EX and EX-V6 models
Optional on LX and LX-V6 models
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 two minutes,
then the system resets. To reset an
alarming system before the two
minutes have elapsed, unlock either
door with the key or the remote
transmitter.
The security system sets auto-
matically fifteen seconds 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 light next to the driver's door
lock starts blinking immediately to
show you the system is setting itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT
Once the security system is set,
opening either door (without using
the key or the remote transmitter),
or the hood, will cause it to alarm. It
also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is
cut.

Security System

With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or 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.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Brake Lamp
Monitor on the instrument panel
(see page 52), to see if the doors
and trunk are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
