Acura Anti-Theft Device
Acuras do have an anti-theft device called an immobilizer system. The immobilizer system verifies that the key used to turn on the engine is the correct one. If the key is not the correct one, the system blocks certain actions to prevent the car from starting. The immobilizer system works by using a chip inside the original key that sends a signal when it gets close to the ignition switch. The switch has an antenna that receives this signal and sends it to the car’s computer. If the signal matches the one the car has saved, then the driver is allowed to start the car.
In addition to the immobilizer system, Acura vehicles may also have other security features such as perimeter anti-theft functionality. If someone tries to open the door without the key present or without using the key fob to unlock the doors, the horn will sound as a deterrent. It’s important to note that while these security features can help deter theft, no system is completely foolproof. It’s always a good idea to take additional precautions, such as parking in well-lit areas and using visible deterrents like steering wheel locks.
