Honda Accord Coupe L4 (2011 year). Manual

You should have received a key
number tag with your keys. You will
need this key number if you ever
have to get a lost key replaced. Use
only Honda-approved key blanks.

Protect the keys from direct
sunlight, high temperature, and
high humidity.

Do not drop the keys or set heavy
objects on them.

Keep the keys away from liquids.
If they get wet, dry them
immediately with a soft cloth.

These keys contain electronic
circuits that are activated by the
immobilizer system. They will not
work to start the engine if the
circuits are damaged.

The valet key does not contain a
battery. Do not try to take it apart.

The master key fits all the locks on
your vehicle. The valet key works
only in the ignition and the driver’s
door lock. You can keep the trunk
release handle, and glove box locked
when you leave your vehicle and the
valet key at a parking facility.

If the system repeatedly does not
recognize the coding of your key,
contact your dealer.

Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it. Electrical
problems could result that may make
your vehicle inoperable.

If you lose your key and you cannot
start the engine, contact your dealer.

The immobilizer system protects
your vehicle from theft. If an
improperly coded key (or other
device) is used, the engine’s fuel
system is disabled.

When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the immobilizer
system indicator should come on
briefly, then go off. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position, remove the key,
reinsert it, and turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position again.

The system may not recognize your
key’s coding if another immobilizer
key or other metal object (i.e. key
chain) is near the ignition switch
when you insert the key.

The ignition switch has four
positions: LOCK (0), ACCESSORY
(I), ON (II), START (III)

You can insert or

remove the key only in this position.
To turn the key, push it in slightly. If
your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, the shift lever must
also be in Park.

You will hear a reminder beeper if
you leave the key in the ignition
switch in the LOCK (0) or the
ACCESSORY (I) position and open
the driver’s door. Remove the key to
turn off the beeper.

If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, the shift lever must be
in Park before you can remove the
key from the ignition switch.

If the front wheels are turned, the
anti-theft lock may make it difficult
to turn the key. Firmly turn the
steering wheel to the left or right as
you turn the key.

Use this position

only to start the engine. The switch
returns to the ON (II) position when
you let go of the key.

position when driving. Several of the
indicators on the instrument panel
come on as a test when you turn the
ignition switch from the
ACCESSORY (I) to the ON (II)
position.

The doors lock whenever you
move the shift lever out of the
Park (P) position (A/T vehicles).

The doors lock when the vehicle
speed reaches 10 mph (15 km/h).

Your vehicle has customizable
settings for the doors to
automatically lock and unlock. There
are default settings for each of these
features. You can turn off or change
the settings for these features as
described on the following pages.

This is the default setting.

When you customize the setting,
make sure your vehicle is parked
safely, the engine is off, and the
parking brake is applied. Make all
settings before you start driving.

If you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, lockout prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver’s
door. With either door open and the
key in the ignition switch, locking
with the master door lock switch is
disabled. If the driver’s door is
closed, the lock tab on the driver’s
door is not disabled. Pulling the
driver’s lock tab rearward will lock
both doors. If you try to lock an open
driver’s door by pulling the lock tab
rearward, the driver’s door lock tab
pops out and unlocks the driver’s
door.
