How to Turn ON/OFF Honda Service Reminder System with HDS

Applicable Countries

The Service Reminder System will not be applied for all the EU countries. Confirm the countries where the system is applied. The system is not active in default setting. The system needs to be activated by HDS at Honda/Acura dealer. If the vehicle is taken to outside of the applicable countries, apply the maintenance schedule for non-applicable countries.

NOTE: If you turn the Service Reminder System OFF after the first activation, it cannot be reactivated. When one month or more passes after disconnecting 12 volt battery terminal, set the date on Service Reminder System with HDS.
