Both of our Acura back-up open and start pages have been cleaned up and reset. So you are aware, the pages also host Honda back-up information.
The back-up open and start pages hold procedures made necessary by the key fobs losing their battery power.
While adding back-up start information to Acura, it was clear that the page itself was unclear. We added a table of contents and three headings to clarify page navigation.
This prompted a look at the back-up open page and sure enough, not only was clarification needed, one piece of information was flat out wrong. It had been a while since we’d looked this close.
For the record, since the pages cover both Acura and Honda models, as we noted earlier, we will update Honda next.
The back-up open page can be seen here and the back-up start page is here.
