Security System - Honda 2011 CIVIC COUPE Owner's Manual

If equipped
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
activated 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 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
indicator on the instrument panel
starts blinking immediately to show
you the system is setting itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR
Once the security system is set,
opening either door without using
the key or the remote transmitter,
the hood, or the trunk will cause the
alarm to activate. It will also activate
if 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 master key
(U.S. LX model) or the remote
transmitter (U.S. EX, EX-L and Si
models) without triggering the alarm.

Security System

The alarm will sound if the trunk
lock is forced, or the trunk is opened
with the trunk release handle or the
emergency trunk opener.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, and check the
indicators on the instrument panel.
Close either door or the trunk
indicated on the display. Check the
hood visually since it is not part of
the display, and shut it if necessary.
Use the remote transmitter
NOTE:
to quickly check that the hood, the
trunk, and both doors are closed.
Push the lock button twice within 5
seconds. There should be an audible
confirmation beep.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
