LOL.

The procedure is not a very straightforward one. Something like turn the
key to II, push down the lock button for 10 seconds, or something like
that.

As for cruise, I use mine daily. Good for mileage, and keeps me from going
75 on the highway. The Si is just too easy to get going good and
fast... ;-)

Nope, don't see it in the 2007 Accord EX book.

But I do see a warning about pulling out the ignition key while the
car is in motion.

Yep, that would result in a different kind of lock up. Not very good
one at that.

I, too, double-checked my owner's manual. No mention that I could find
anywhere of automatic locking of the doors on the 2006 Accord.

It's not there. If you're gonna make smart-ass replies, be sure you're
right first, so you don't look like a fool in public.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks. Strange that it apparently *is* there on the Civic, but not the
Accord. Oh well.
