Security System - Acura 2004 MDX Owner's Manual

Table of Contents
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 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 the tailgate. 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 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 any door or the tailgate
without using the key or the remote
transmitter, or the hood, will cause it
to alarm. It also alarms if the radio,
navigation and DVD components are
removed from the dashboard or the
wiring is cut.

Security System

The security system will not set if
the hood, tailgate, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Tailgate Open
Monitor on the instrument panel
(see page 60 ) to see if the doors and
tailgate are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
