Theft Protection - Honda 1996 Accord Wagon Owner's Manual

EX model
Your car's audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any
reason. To make it work again,
the user must enter a specific
five-digit code with the Preset
buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number
combinations possible from five
digits, making the system work
without knowing the exact code
is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card
that lists your audio system's
code number and serial number.
It is best to store this card in a
safe place at home. In addition,
you should write the audio
system's serial number in this
Owner's Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you
must obtain the code number
from your Honda dealer. To do
this you will need the system's
serial number.
If your car's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the
audio system will disable itself. If
this happens, you will see "Code"
in the frequency display the next
time you turn on the system. Use
the Preset buttons to enter the
five-digit code. If it is entered
correctly, the radio will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering
the code, do not start over or try
to correct your mistake.
Complete the five-digit sequence,
then enter the correct code. You
have three tries to enter the
correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in three attempts,
you must then leave the system
on for one hour before trying
again.

You will have to store your
favorite stations in the Preset
buttons after the system begins
working. Your original settings
were lost when power was
disconnected.
