Radio Theft Protection - Honda Automobiles 2009 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
(except for model with navigation
system)/four-digit code (model with
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, or the
radio fuse is removed, the audio
system will disable itself. Use the
preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (except for model with
navigation system)/four-digit code
(model with 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 (except for model with
navigation system)/four-digit (model
with 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.
