'03 Accord V6 locks out driver?
Wife drives a '03 Accord V6. She is annoyed about some of the
"features." I could not find any information in the Manual that could
help her.
1. Doors lock after she leaves the car, without her activating
the remote control;
2. The interior lights don't stay on when she opens the driver
door for a prolonged period of time;
3. The horn sounds when she clicks the second time on the remote
and the alarm is activated - she wished that it made a quieter sound
or no sound at all;
4. She has found no way to turn off the Navigator - she is
concerned that once the Nav is on, there is no way of turning it off -
she finds herself in some areas of the city where she does not want to
attract attention with the Nav. Stopping an restarting the car (an not
clicking on the OK) is sometimes NOT an option.
I can't help her. The Prelude my son drives (inherited from me) is not
that fancy, and the '04 TL that I drive allows programming for
everything.
Please help.
TIA
Best,
Andrew

Broken. Fix it--it's under warranty. BUT: step one should always be,
look in the owner's manual. It gives complete and exhaustive
information on how the locking system is supposed to behave. Make sure
you aren't doing something wrong. My guess is you've never even cracked
the owner's manual. Do you even know where it is?

See above. On my Honda van, the interior lights go out after 3 or so
minutes. That's a FEATURE, not a problem; it's outlined in that owner's
manual you seem to want to avoid.

See above. You know that owner's manual? It's pretty clear on all of
this stuff. Let me ask you: why is she clicking on the remote a second
time? There's no need; the first click locks the car. The
only--ONLY--reason for clicking a second time is to get the horn to beep
for confirmation that the doors are locked and the alarm system is
active. The second click does nothing more. If she simply wants the
car to lock silently, she should click the remote once. If she doesn't
want the horn to beep, she shouldn't click it as second time at all.
What does she *think* she's getting with that second click?

That sounds like a bug in the system. She should have the dealer look at
it. It is an intentional feature that when you first unlock the doors with
the remote, if a door (any door) is not opened within 20 seconds, they will
automatically re-lock, but that doesn't sound like the problem she is
having.

The alarm activates the first time you push the lock button. The horn
sounding on the second press is only for the purpose of reassuring yourself
that it heard you the first time. Tell her to only push it once if she
doesn't want to hear the horn. I don't see where there is a problem here.
This is a pretty well thought out feature and lets you have it pretty much
both ways (horn or no horn).

I agree this is an irritating quirk of the Honda Nav systems. Nothing can
be done about it. It is probably the only thing about the nav where Nissan
had a better idea - they have a display on/off button that blacks it out at
any time.

All these things are normal operation. She can turn off the Navi, just read

Nope, normal. My Accord does this. The car thinks you walked away without
