Honda Civic Si Coupe (2004 year). Instruction - part 5

The Immobilizer System protects
your vehicle from theft. If an
improperly-coded key (or other
device) is used, the engine will not
start.

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 undriveable.

If you have lost your key and cannot
start your engine, contact your
dealer.

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.

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

As required by the FCC:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Industry
Canada Standard RSS-210.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

you turn the key.

You can

operate the audio system and the
accessory power sockets in this
position.

Use this position

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

You will hear a reminder beeper if
you leave the key in the ignition
