Radio Theft Protection - Honda 2011 Civic Hybrid Owner's Manual

Your vehicle's audio system will
disable itself if it is disconnected
from electrical power for any reason.
To make it work again, you must
enter a specific five-digit code (or a
four-digit code for models with a
navigation system) in the preset
buttons. Because there are hundreds
of number combinations possible
from five or four-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 and
serial numbers. 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 lose the card, you must obtain
the code number from a dealer. To
do this, you will need the system's
serial number.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system will disable itself. Use the
preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (or a four-digit code for models
with a navigation system). The code
is on the radio code card included in
your owner's manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will start
playing.

If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
five-digit (or a four-digit code for
models with a navigation system)
sequence, then enter the correct
code. You have 10 tries to enter the
correct code. If you are unsuccessful
in 10 attempts, you must then leave
the system on for 1 hour before
trying again.
