Honda Civic Hatchback 2023 Security System

Introduced here are the strong security features of the 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback, where safety and peace of mind come together to make driving a more secure experience. The security features of the Civic Hatchback make sure that you and your things are always safe from the moment you approach the car. The remote entry system gives you safe access and makes it easy to lock and open the car. When combined with a high-tech car immobilizer, a complete security system is a strong defense against attempts to steal. This method makes sure that only the right key can start the engine, which adds another layer of safety. The security alarm system works as a sentry, sounding the alarm and turning on lights right away if someone breaks in without permission. The system can also be easily managed through HondaLink®, which lets you control and watch it from a distance. The Civic Hatchback is designed to be safe in more ways than just making it hard to steal. For example, the steering wheel lock and child-proof rear door locks make it safer for both the car and its passengers. The 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback’s commitment to security shows that the brand wants to give you trust in every drive, no matter how long or short.

Security System

Immobilizer System

This system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from starting the engine.
Pay attention to the following when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:

• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/STOP button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE START/STOP button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as televisions and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can become magnetic.

NOTICE
Leaving the key in the vehicle can result in theft or accidental movement of the vehicle.
Always take the key with you whenever you leave the vehicle unattended.
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it. Doing so may damage the system and make your vehicle inoperable.
