Vehicle Damage Warnings

NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
a. Disconnecting the battery.
b. Removing the fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
c. Removing the radio.
d. After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed, enter the customer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.


CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. Acura will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. Acura will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
