You received two ignition keys with your car, one of which should be kept in a safe place (not in the car) and use as a spare. Each key fits all car locks.
Along with the set of car keys, you also received a plate with the key number. You may need the key number to create additional copies of keys instead of the lost ones. Only key blanks that are officially approved by Honda may be used to make additional key copies.
Remote control for central electric locking (transmitter built into the key head)
Some vehicle versions are supplied with one or two keys with integrated remote controls for the central electric locking.
These keys have an electronic circuit built into them that contains a code that is read by the car's immobilizer. Damage to the electronic circuit can make it impossible to start the engine.
Do not expose keys to direct sunlight or high temperatures. Do not store keys in places with high humidity.
Do not drop keys or place heavy objects on them.
Do not expose the keys to moisture. If the keys get wet, gently wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer is an effective anti-theft device and protects the car from possible theft. The car engine can only be started with a specially coded key. An attempt to start the engine with an unsuitable key or any other device will result in the engine's fuel system being disconnected.
When the ignition is switched on (the ignition key is turned to the "ON" (II) position), the immobilizer system indicator lights up for a few seconds and then goes out. Flashing of the indicator means that the immobilizer system has not identified the key code. In this case, it is necessary to switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" (0) position) and remove the key from the lock. Then reinsert the key into the ignition switch and switch on the ignition (turn the key to the "ON" (II) position).
The system may not identify the code of the key in the ignition switch if there is another immobilizer key or metal object nearby.
If the system still fails to identify the key code, contact your dealer or service station.
Do not attempt to make any changes or additions to the immobilizer design. This may disrupt the normal operation of the vehicle's electronic systems and make it impossible to use.
If you lose your key and cannot start the engine, contact your dealer.
Cars intended for European countries (eU directives)
The vehicle immobilizer system complies with directive "R&TTE", which determines the conformity of equipment with the operating standards for radio systems and telecommunication devices:
