Security System - Honda 1997 Accord Coupe Online Reference Owner's Manual

On Special Edition model in the U.S.
The security system helps to protect
your car and valuables from theft.
The alarm sounds and all the
exterior lights flash if someone
attempts to break into your car. This
alarm continues for two minutes,
then the system resets.
To reset an alarming system before
the two minutes have elapsed,
unlock either door with the key or
the remote transmitter.
The security system sets automati-
cally 15 seconds after you close and
lock the doors, the hood, and the
trunk. The security system light on
the center console next to the clock
starts blinking immediately to show
you the system is setting itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT
Once the security system is set,
opening either door (without using
the key or remote transmitter), or
opening the hood, will cause it to
alarm.

Security System

With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
without triggering the alarm. The
alarm will sound if the trunk is
opened with the trunk release handle.
The security system will not set if
the hood, trunk, or either door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,
check the Door and Brake Lamp
Monitor on the instrument panel
(see page 35), to see if the doors
and trunk are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
