Congratulations! Your selection of a Honda Remote
Control Starter System was a wise investment. This
system is the result of extensive research and
development, and will provide you with many years of
reliable performance, protection, and convenience.
The remote control starter system consists of a
transmitter that allows you to start and stop the engine
from outside the vehicle. You can also use the
transmitter to lock and unlock the doors, as well as
activate the horn in case of emergency.
Some communities may have restrictions on the use of
remote starters. Before using your remote control starter
system, please check all local laws and regulations.
To take full advantage of your Honda Remote Control
Starter System, please read this manual thoroughly.

Precautions <For Safety>
• Do not operate the remote
control car starter system
to start the engine without
removing the body cover
from the car. It can cause a
fire.
• Do not start the engine with
this remote control car
starter system near the
flammable material such as
the dead grass, paper, oil,
grease, wood, etc.
The heat from the exhaust
pipe or exhaust gas can
ignite the flammable
material.
• Do not operate the switches on the transmitter
unnecessarily as the electric wave from the
transmitter can carry very far. To prevent an
accident caused by accidental start of the
engine, operate the remote control car starter
system in the area where you can check that
there are no people, pets and obstacles around
the car. Be careful not to allow a pet or other
small animal to enter the engine compartment.
• Store the batteries out of reach of
children. If it is accidentally swallowed by
a child, give him/her medical treatment
immediately. Failure of prompt medical
treatment will be very dangerous for the
life of the child.
CAUTION
• Do not charge, short-circuit, disassemble,
deform or heat up the battery and do not
throw it in fire, either. The battery contains
flammable material such as lithium and
organic solvent that can cause the battery
to ignite, heat or explode when it is
handled improperly.
• Insulate the battery with tape before
disposing or storing the battery for a
prolonged period of time. Contact with
another metal or battery will cause it to
ignite or explode.
ADVICE
• Take care not to drop the transmitter on
the floor and not to strike it against a
hard material, either. It can destroy the
crystal transmitter inside the transmitter
causing the transmitter malfunction.
• Do not use the benzine, thinner and
chemical cloth to clean the transmitter. Wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with neutral detergent and water
solution, then wipe it with a dry cloth to clean.
• Do not operate the transmitter under the direct sunlight,
in a damp and/or extremely hot/cold place. Avoid these
places to store the transmitter.
Working temperature:
-20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
• Though this transmitter is water
resistant lightly, do not operate and
store it in a place where it is splashed
with water directly. It can cause the
transmitter malfunction.
Several factors affect and
reduce remote control
range. Among these are:
1. Proximity to buildings
and automobiles.
2. Proximity to high power
transmitters (television,
radio, cellular, HAM
radio, etc.).
3. When the battery
becomes weak, the
remote control range
becomes short.
Car construction and the surrounding environment cause
reflected waves that may interfere with the low power RF
signal transmitted by the remote control. This interference
may result in “dead spots” around the car; places where
remote control signals will not be accepted by the main unit.

Battery Power
Use the remote control transmitter only
when necessary.
Every time a button is pressed, the remote
control is consuming battery power.
If battery is low on power, the transmitting
range of the remote control will be affected.
Check battery periodically and replace it
when necessary.

In Case of Loss
If one of your remote control transmitters is ever lost, contact
your local Honda dealer for a replacement. Your system will be
reprogrammed to prevent the lost remote control transmitter
from operating your system. In this case, take all the other
remote control transmitters to have them reprogrammed.
If you own extra remotes, bring it all to the dealer for
reprogramming.
