Keys and Locks
The valet key only works the ignition
and the door locks. You can keep the
trunk, fuel fill door release handle
(Canadian S model), rear locking
compartment and trunk release
handle (except for Canadian S
model) locked when you leave your
car and valet key at a parking facility.
You should have received a key
number plate with your set of keys.
You will need this key number if you
ever have to replace a lost key. Store
this plate in a safe place.
When replacing keys, use only
Honda-approved key blanks.

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is on the right
side of the steering column. It has
four positions: LOCK (0), ACCES-
SORY (I), ON(II), and START (III).
LOCK (0) — You can insert or
remove the key only in this position.
When you turn the key from LOCK
to ACCESSORY, you may have to
turn the steering wheel to release
the anti-theft lock. To switch from
ACCESSORY to LOCK, you must
push the key in slightly as you turn it.
If your car has an automatic trans-
mission, it must also be in Park. The
anti-theft lock will lock the steering
column when you remove the key.
Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.
Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.
