Honda HR-V: Keyless/Power Door Locks/Security System Description - Overview

Keyless Entry System

The keyless entry system is integrated with the multiplex integrated control system. The multiplex integrated control unit (MICU) receives LOCK, UNLOCK, and PANIC signals from the immobilizer-keyless control unit*1 or the keyless access control unit*2.

The keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle with the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2. When you press the LOCK button, all doors lock. When you press the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks. The other doors will unlock when you press the button a second time. The doors will not lock with the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 if a door is not fully closed, or if the vehicle is in the ON mode.

When the switch for the interior light is in the DOOR position, it comes on when the UNLOCK button is pressed. If a door is not opened, the light goes off and the doors will relock in about 30 seconds. If the doors are locked with the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 within 30 seconds, the light goes off immediately.

NOTE: The keyless entry system can be customized to suit the client's needs. For more information about keyless/security system options, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Door Lock System

The system has a three circuits between door lock actuators and the MICU to improve safety of the system. One is for the driver's side door lock actuator, and others are for the left rear door lock actuator and passenger's side door lock actuators. Door lock actuator circuit has two fuses. When one fuse is blown, another fuse in the same circuit must be checked.

Security Alarm System

The security alarm system automatically arms after the doors, the hood, and the tailgate are closed and locked.

For the system to arm, the vehicle mode must be the OFF (LOCK) mode and the MICU must receive inputs that the doors, the hood, and the tailgate are closed and locked. The alarm can be disarmed at any time by unlocking the driver's door with the mechanical key or pressing the UNLOCK button on the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2.

The security indicator in the gauge control module begins to flash immediately after the vehicle is completely closed and locked, and 15 seconds later, the security system arms. If the security indicator does not flash after the doors are locked, the system is not armed.

Once the system is armed, it will sound an alarm when any of these occur:

• The hood is opened.
• A door is unlocked without using the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2.
• A door or the tailgate is forced open.
• The keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 PANIC button is pressed.
• Shift position/mode was moved to other than P position/mode.

When the system sounds the alarm, the alarm can be stopped at any time by unlocking the driver's door by pressing the UNLOCK button on the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2.

Panic Mode

The panic mode sounds the alarm in order to attract attention. When the PANIC button on the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 is pressed and held for 2 seconds, the horns sound and the exterior lights flash for about 30 seconds.

The panic mode can be canceled at anytime by pressing any button on the keyless transmitter*1 or the remote*2 or by turning the vehicle to the ON mode. The panic mode will not function if the vehicle is in ON mode.
