key to start your car's engine, it may
cause a malfunction in the system
that makes your master and valet
keys unusable. If this happens, you
should contact your Acura dealer.
If you need a new key made, take the
key number plate, the learning key,
and all other keys that came with

Immobilizer System

The Immobilizer System protects
your car from theft. A properly-
coded master or valet key must be
used in the ignition switch for the
engine to start. If an improperly-
coded key (or other device) is used,
the engine's fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)
again.
