System Overview Your navigation system is a highly sophisticated location system with voice control that uses satellites and a map database to show you where you are and to help guide you to a desired destination.

The navigation system receives signals from the global positioning system (GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. By receiving signals from several of these satellites, the navigation system can determine the latitude, longitude, and elevation of your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in your vehicle keep track of the direction and speed of travel at all times.

Introduction

Navigation System 5

The navigation system applies location, direction, and speed information to the maps and calculates a route to the destination you enter. As you drive to that destination, the system provides map and voice guidance.

The navigation system is easy to use. The locations of many places of business and entertainment are already entered in the system. You can select any of them as a destination by using the Interface Dial or voice control.

There are several ways to enter a destination, such as by point of interest (POI), by address, by phone number, and by selecting it from the map. The last 50 destinations are saved for reuse at a later date. The system also allows you to store a home address to simplify returning home from your destination.

Accessories Precautions If you have front or side window tinting installed, be aware that if the tint has metallic properties, it can seriously degrade or prevent GPS reception. This is because the GPS antenna is located behind the navigation display in the center of the dashboard.

If you plan to install electronic components such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, additional ampli ers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation display in the center of the dashboard, or near the GPS antenna behind the navigation display. Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.

Important Safety Information The navigation system can distract your attention from the road if you focus on the screen or operate the systems controls while driving.

Enter as much information as possible into the system before you begin driving, or when the vehicle is stopped. Then, as you drive, listen to the audio instructions and use voice commands when possible.

Introduction

6 Navigation System

WARNING

Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed.

Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual.

While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.

The navigation system is designed to provide route information to help you reach your destination. However, this route guidance may sometimes con ict with current road conditions such as street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.

Additionally, the system itself has certain limitations (see page 124 ). Therefore, you must verify the audio and visual route information provided by the system by carefully observing the roadway, signs and signals, etc. If you are unsure, proceed with caution. Always use your own good judgment, and obey traf c laws while driving.

Map Overview

Current Street The current street on which your vehicle is located appears at the bottom of the map screen (see page 20 ). A message saying Not on a digitized road may appear instead when you drive half a mile away from a mapped road. For more details, see Off-road Tracking on page 69 .

Veri ed/Unveri ed Street Your navigation system has two kinds of streets: veri ed (red, gray, and pink) and unveri ed (purple). The differences between the two types of streets are contrasted in the chart on page 7 .

Verified street

Unverified street

Introduction

Navigation System 7

Veri ed streets Unveri ed streets

When displayed

These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities.

These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town.

Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray (veri ed streets) on the daytime map screen.

Shown on the daytime map screen as purple.

Map quality

The database vendor has veri ed these streets. Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used when creating your route to a destination.

These streets have not been veri ed by the database vendor. The system does not contain information on one- way streets, turn restrictions, or the roads average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have errors in map location, naming, and address range.

Routing differences

While driving to your destination, the displayed route line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance to your destination.

Your route line is either a purple dotted vector line, or a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the routing differences, see Unveri ed Area Routing on page 102 .

Cautions

There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during a route. However, because roads constantly change, you are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted traf c restrictions.

Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traf c restrictions. See Unveri ed Area Routing on page 102 .

Guidance voice

Voice guidance issues instructions such as In a half-mile, make a right turn.

The phrase if possible is added to each guidance instruction. For example: In a half-mile, make a right turn, if possible.

Time and distance to go

The time and distance to go, displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.

The time and distance to go, displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.

When you press this button during voice recognition, voice recognition is ended. (The display does not return to the previous screen.)

Getting Started

14 Navigation System

Using the Voice Control System You should use the voice control system as much as possible, and consider manual entry using the Interface Dial as a backup method.

Most of the systems functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the TALK button. To control your navigation system by voice:

Press and release the TALK button. A pop-up voice icon will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.

Wait for the beep.

Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes are highlighted.)

Once the microphone picks up your command, the system changes the display in response to the command and prompts you for the next command. Using the TALK button, answer the prompts as required.

If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with Pardon, Please repeat, or Would you say again. If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, a beep will sound.

You can nd out which voice commands are available for a particular screen by saying Help. The system will display and read the list of available commands to you. (When Help is grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)

When you speak a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a con rmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. However, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in SET UP.

If you hear a prompt such as Please use the Interface Dial to... or Please choose an area with the Interface Dial, the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.

Improving Voice Recognition To achieve optimum voice recognition when using the navigation system, the following guidelines should be followed:

NOTE: Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using. See Voice Command Index on page 158 .

It is best if the windows and sunroof are closed. If they are open, speak a little louder to overcome the wind noises.

Getting Started

Navigation System 15

The fan speed automatically lowers when the TALK button is pressed. Adjust the air ow from both the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.

If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.

After pressing and releasing the TALK button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command.

Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.

Try to reduce any background noise.

If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice Info on the INFO screen (Main Info).

NOTE: The voice control system can only be used from the drivers position. The microphone does not recognize voice commands from anywhere else in the vehicle.

Selecting an Item (Button) on the Screen On most screens, there are items that can be selected (like buttons with titles such as OK or Return). To select an item on any screen, do one of the following:

Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost all selectable items on the screen, including some listed items, are recognized by the voice control system.

Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its knob, then push in on the Interface Dial.

Tip: If items are grayed out, this means that they cannot be selected.

Selecting an Item in a List To scroll through a list, do one of the following:

Rotate the Interface Dial knob to scroll one item at a time.

Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll up, say Up or Previous. To scroll down, say Next or Down.

If you cannot nd the desired name, or have made an error, return to the previous screen by pressing the CANCEL or the BACK button.

To select the desired item in the list, do one of the following:

Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.

Rotate the Interface Dial knob to move the highlighting to the item, then push in on the Interface Dial.

AcuraLink Real-Time Traf c The navigation screen can display continuously updated traf c information when available, including ow (traf c speed), accidents, and construction on freeways in major metro areas.

The display of traf c ow and incidents on your map screen is optional and can be turned On/Off by selecting the Traf c icon on the Icon bar (see Showing Icons on the Map on page 67 ).

The current metropolitan areas that have traf c coverage can be seen on page 142 . For more current metro coverage information, go to www.acura.com/realtimetraf c. This link offers the following:

Getting Started

24 Navigation System

Viewing Flow Data Traf c ow data is displayed as colored bands on either side of the freeway (see Traf c Display Legend on page 22 ). The different colored bands represent the average road speeds as determined by under-road sensors and other probes.

While driving to your destination on a road that has traf c ow data, your route line color is used to display the traf c ow data. This means that when the map scale is set to one of the traf c scales (1/20 through 5 mile scale), your blue route line may appear as alternating orange, red, or green segments (see Traf c Display Legend on page 22 ).

NOTE: A blue route line segment on a freeway can mean one of two things:

Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell phone probes, and other methods used to collect traf c speed information indicate free- ow traf c.

The road has no sensors, and traf c conditions are unknown (they could be congested).

Naturally, only roads with these sensors will show traf c information. The amount of ow data varies considerably from one city to another. This map display is refreshed continuously. You can only view traf c information from within 200 miles of the vehicles location.

NOTE: Traf c ow and incident icons are

displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or less map scale.

Not all freeways within a metropolitan area have traf c ow data (colored bands on the side of the freeways) - this is normal, and you cannot assume that a lack of data implies no traf c.

Not all cities have traf c ow information. See cities listed on page 142 .

Due to freeway maintenance and construction, traf c ow may be available only for one side of a road, or be missing entirely for some portion of the freeway.

The displayed traf c ow may con ict with other audio- or Internet- based traf c information.

If traf c ow is not showing, verify that the TRAFFIC selection for the Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon options for traf c are both ON (see page 67 ).

Getting Started

Navigation System 25

Viewing Incident Reports Incident reports appear as small diamond- or circle-shaped icons (see Traf c Display Legend on page 22 for examples). There are four ways to view traf c incidents:

By voice control, say Display traf c incidents.

Select Traf c Incidents from the Map menu.

Select Traf c Incidents on the INFO screen (Main Info).

Select an incident icon from the map screen.

NOTE: The rst method is recommended because it works on any scale and requires the minimum input.

Listing Traf c Incidents by Voice Control From the map screen (any scale), say Display traf c incidents or Display traf c list. The Traf c Incidents screen will be displayed, which includes the All and On Route tabs.

When you select the All tab, a list of all incidents within 200 miles from the vehicles location will be displayed. When you select the On Route tab, a list of all incidents on the current route within 200 miles from the vehicles location will be displayed. Incidents are listed by distance from your current position outward in all directions.

To view incident details, say the number of the incident you want to select. A map showing the location of the incident will be displayed, and the message will be read to you.

NOTE: The On Route tab can be selected only when you are en route.

Getting Started

26 Navigation System

No Traf c Incidents If you say Display traf c incidents or select Traf c Incidents, but there are no incidents within less than 200 miles from the vehicles location, the following screen will be displayed.

Selecting an Incident Icon from the Map Screen Zoom in or out so that you are between the 1/20 and 5 mile scales. (The map must be on the 1/20 to 5 mile scales to view the incident icons). To view the details of a speci c incident, use the Interface Dial to position the cursor (round red circle) over the incident icon you are interested in. Push in on the Interface Dial and select Traf c to view a pop-up box summary describing the incident. To see the incident details, push in on the Interface Dial. To return to your current position map screen, press the MAP/GUIDE button. To continue viewing incidents in your scrolled to location, press the CANCEL button.

NOTE: Incident reports can only be selected

between the 1/20 to 5 mile scales. Incident reports may be displayed on

roads that have no traf c ow data available.

Freeway incident reports can lag behind the actual incident, or remain displayed after an incident has cleared. This is normal, and is dependent on the reporting agency and the speed at which the data is updated.

The displayed incidents may con ict with other audio- or Internet-based traf c information.

Map Orientation The map can be orientated two ways:

North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map.

Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on always points up (as you see the road through your front windshield).

North Up

Heading Up

NOTE: The red arrow in both heading symbols always shows the direction north.

Push in on the Interface Dial when you are on the map screen, and select Map Information. Select North- up or Heading-up, or say Display heading up or Display north up.

In the larger map scales (above 2 mile or 3 kilometer), the map is always oriented with north facing upward. You cannot change the orientation.

NOTE: For information on the available voice commands, see Voice Command Index on page 158 .

Destination Icon The destination icon only shows the approximate location of the destination. This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block.) Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts). Therefore, the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of near the end of the block where the destination is actually located.

Tip: When en route, you can view a map showing your destination. Using voice control, say Display destination map.

Going Off the Route If you leave the calculated route, Recalculating... is displayed at the top of the screen. The system will recalculate the route from your current location and direction to the desired destination then give you a new route instruction. This is done automatically if you have set Rerouting to AUTOMATIC on the SET UP screen (Other) (see page 101 ).

If the Rerouting option in SET UP is set to MANUAL, Off route appears at the top of the screen when you leave the calculated route. Say Recalculate, or select Recalculation whenever you want the system to perform a recalculation.

Off-road Tracking If you drive away from a mapped road, Not on a digitized road appears at the bottom of the screen.

The map screen starts displaying a series of dots ( breadcrumbs) to show the path you have taken if Off-road Tracking on the SET UP screen (Other) is set to ON (see page 111 ).

By following the dots, you can backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. Breadcrumbs may occasionally be displayed in urban areas, such as large parking lots in shopping malls, or in new subdivisions where the roads are not yet in the database. In other cases, you may see dots if the system temporarily goes off route, like in a parking garage where the GPS signal is unavailable. These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter) map scales. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to change scales if necessary.

Off-road tracking continues for approximately 150 miles; dots at the beginning of the trail will start disappearing when you exceed that distance. When you reach a mapped road, the system stops displaying dots.

Viewing/ Saving the Current Location Whenever you are on a map screen, you can always obtain your current location either by pushing in on the Interface Dial, selecting Current Location from Map Information, or by using the voice control system and saying Display current location. A screen pops up which shows the address of your current location, as well as the latitude, longitude, and elevation.

NOTE: The elevation will not appear when the system is temporarily lacking proper GPS information. The system elevation may not agree with elevations shown on roadside elevation signs, and may uctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.

You can store the current location for later use. It does not change or cancel your current route.

For example, you are following the systems directions to get to a destination. While sitting at a stoplight you notice a store on the corner, but do not have time to visit it right now. You can save the location to select as a destination at a later date.

To save the location, say Save current location or select Save on the Current location screen. The Edit address book screen with the current location data will appear. You can edit the name, phone number, or category name to be saved in your personal Address Book.

Select Return and you will be returned to the Map Information screen. You can then use Address Book from the MENU screen (Dest. MENU 1) to select the saved location, and return to the same spot.

When you say or select Avoid, the display returns to the list screen. When you move the Interface Dial down on the list screen to select Reroute, the system recalculates a detour route avoiding the road. You can choose to avoid up to 10 traf c incidents.

NOTE: When you select the All tab, Avoid

is not displayed. To activate this function, you need to

set Traf c Rerouting to ON in the Routing & Guidance settings (see page 109 ).

Because the criterion for whether the traf c event is to be detoured or not is included in the traf c event data itself, the traf c rerouting is not performed for all the traf c incidents ahead on the route.

Even when the route recalculation is performed for a traf c event, if the system cannot nd any detour route or a quicker detour route, the event location is not always avoided.

Traf c rerouting is available only if you have a current traf c/weather subscription with XM. See page 120 .

Unveri ed Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unveri ed Area Routing: ON

Decision: Why choose ON or OFF?

The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the destination. The driver understands that unveri ed roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.

The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible routing. The driver understands that in some cases guidance may not be appropriate. Unveri ed roads may not be accurate, and can contain errors in location, naming, and address range.

What you will see...

A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that continually points to your destination. The driver should stop and then use the map to select streets that lead to the destination.

A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested unveri ed streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in veri ed areas.

Cautionary messages

There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice announcements, before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you should obey all traf c restrictions.

Unveri ed Area Routing When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using unveri ed roads. You make this choice in the SET UP screen. The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination in an unveri ed area explaining the routing differences found in unveri ed areas.

With Unveri ed Area Routing OFF, the system tries to use veri ed roads whenever possible. In this example, since only veri ed streets are used, it created a longer route than necessary.

With Unveri ed Area Routing ON, the route is shorter, but consists of unveri ed (purple) streets that may not be accurate. Because the streets are unveri ed, there may be errors in street location, name, or address range. Additional caution is recommended in these areas. Always obey posted traf c restrictions.

Because both routes bypass or use unveri ed streets, it is recommended that you stop and review the map.

Unveri ed Area Routing OFF

Unveri ed Area Routing ON

NOTE: Unveri ed roads are shown only when viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, 400 meter map scales.

104 Navigation System

With Unveri ed Area Routing OFF, before you enter an unveri ed street, a caution box appears on the screen and a voice message is given. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unveri ed area and that you will be following a dotted vector line that points to your destination.

With Unveri ed Area Routing ON, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. In this case, you will be presented with a dashed blue/ pink line instead of the regular blue route line. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traf c restrictions. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate.

In both cases, when you actually enter the unveri ed street, a short caution will remind you. You will see and hear this short caution message whenever you enter unveri ed areas.

If you regularly enter and leave unveri ed roads for short amounts of time, there may be cases where no guidance is provided.

When the car is restarted, the display mode previously selected by this button is canceled and is determined by one of the controls below.

Sunlight sensor (middle of dash near the windshield, see the vehicle Owners manual for location)

If the sunlight sensor detects daylight and the headlights are turned on, the system automatically overrides (cancels) the Night display and displays the Day display mode.

If desired, use the Display Mode button to override this automatic choice.

Dash illumination adjustment knob (see the vehicle Owners manual for location)

When headlights are turned on, and you wish to have the Day display mode, then adjust the illumination to the full bright setting (beeps).

With the headlights on, adjust the dash brightness back to mid-range to allow auto switching by sensing whether the headlights are on or off.

Headlights (Auto/On/Off) When turned on, the display changes to Night display mode. The previous two controls listed above can cancel this function.

Use the Display Mode button, or, with the headlights on, adjust the dash illumination to full bright to set the display to your desired choice.

Map Day/Night screen color choice (see page 113 for the Day and Night color choices)

The user can select the color of the screen that will be displayed for the Day and Night display modes.

For best contrast, ensure that the map color is white for Day and black for Night.

Recommended Display Mode Day/Night settings: With the headlights on, select mid-range for the dash illumination (see the vehicle Owners manual for location of knob). With the headlights off, select mid-range for the dash illumination (see the vehicle Owners manual for location of knob). On the SET UP Color adjustment screen, choose white for the map Day display and black for the map Night display (see

page 113 ). Inappropriate adjustment of these colors can cause the Day/Night modes to appear inoperative.

NOTE: See the vehicle Owners manual for additional information regarding the dash brightness adjustment.

System Setup

Navigation System 121

Rearview Camera Your vehicle is equipped with a rearview camera as shown in the illustration.

When you shift to R (Reverse) with the power mode in the ON mode, the rear view is shown on the navigation screen. Parking guidelines appear in the rear view. For the best image, always keep the rearview camera lens clean, and be sure it is not covered.

Since the rearview camera display area is limited, you should always back up slowly and carefully, and look behind you for obstacles.

Rearview Camera Brightness Adjustment When in reverse, the navigation hard buttons are locked out, except the rotating portion of the Interface Dial knob. Rotate the Interface Dial knob clockwise to make the camera image brighter, and counterclockwise to darken the image.

This brightness adjustment is independent of the screen brightness adjustment in SET UP.

NOTE: The camera brightness cannot be

adjusted by voice control. Slight delays can occur when

switching to the camera image (especially when rst starting your vehicle), or switching back to the map/menu screen. This is normal.

Rearview Camera Image

4th line (9 ft, 3 m) 3rd line (6.5 ft, 2 m) 2nd line (3 ft, 1 m) 1st line (1.5 ft, 0.5 m)

The rearview camera display has distance guidelines indicating distance from the back of the vehicle to one of the lines.

NOTE: The rearview camera has a special

lens that makes distances appear closer than they actually are.

The rearview camera display has a limited range, and the size and position of objects around the area may appear different from reality. Make sure to check the surrounding area carefully.

System Initialization

122 Navigation System

System Initialization If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.

This initialization requires the following:

Entry of the 5-digit anti-theft security code to unlock the audio and navigation system.

GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the system was without power). (See GPS Initialization on page 122 .)

Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map (displays current street at the bottom of the map). (See Map Matching on page 123 .)

Entering the Security Code If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for the audio and navigation system before you can use it again.

When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received one card containing the navigation systems security code and serial number. Keep this card in a safe place in case you need the code. If you lose the card, you must obtain the security code from your dealer.

Enter the 5-digit security code in accordance with the owners manual for your vehicle. If you do not enter the security code, the navigation and audio voice will not function.

NOTE: The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional navigation system PIN (for Address Book or Home Address).

GPS Initialization Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:

If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen (see page 18 ). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.

System Initialization

Navigation System 123

If the navigation system nds the satellites properly, this box clears and the Disclaimer screen is shown. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a suf cient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:

If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.

NOTE: The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes.

Map Matching This part of the initialization matches the GPS coordinates found above with a road on the map screen. To perform this part of the procedure, ensure that the navigation system is displaying a map, and drive the vehicle on a mapped road (a road shown on the map screen). Do not enter a destination at this time. When the name of the current road you are driving on appears at the bottom of the screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system is now ready to use.

Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will nd in a modern automobile, you may nd during its use that it has certain limitations.

The system uses GPS signals to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS that the navigation system must constantly compensate for. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.

For example, in urban areas where streets are close together, this could cause the system to show that you are traveling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.

System Limitations

124 Navigation System

Also, depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal.

GPS Reception Issues The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:

Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located on the back of the navigation display)

Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard

Remote starters or hidden vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit

Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit

Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires

Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct route. Try changing the method of routing. See Changing the Routing Method on page 52 . You may also have Unveri ed Area Routing set to OFF. See Unveri ed Area Routing on page 102 .

Additionally, the mapping database contains veri ed and unveri ed maps. See Map Overview on page 6 . A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unveri ed streets. Unveri ed streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. Exercise additional caution when driving in these unveri ed areas.

The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination. This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block) Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts), the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination is actually located.

You may nd that the system occasionally reboots. This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.

System Limitations

Database Limitations

Navigation System 125

You will nd that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not nd places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest. Always check with local information sources if you need law enforcement or hospital services.

Every effort has been made to verify that the systems database was accurate at the time it was created. However, businesses do close or relocate, and new businesses start in the old locations. For this reason, you may occasionally nd inaccurate information when you select and drive to a point of interest (for example, a restaurant is now a jewelry store). The number of these inaccuracies increases the longer you go without an update.

The digitized map database re ects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your database may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes.

Due to ongoing software and database improvements, navigation software and mapping versions versions may change in the middle of a production year. The version shipped with your vehicle was the most recent available at the time of production and is considered standard equipment for that vehicle. There is no free program to retro t early production vehicles with the latest software and mapping versions. For update DVD ordering information, see page 128 .

In addition, this database does not include, analyze, process, consider, or re ect any of the following categories of information:

Neighborhood quality or safety

Population density

Availability or proximity of law enforcement

Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance

Construction work, zones, or hazards

Road and lane closures

Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed restrictions)

Road slope or grade

Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits

Coverage Areas

144 Navigation System

Operation in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico Certain functions that rely on a satellite signal will not work correctly. These functions include but are not limited to AcuraLink, and traf c- and weather- related services.

XM Radio Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico are equipped with XM hardware, but XM broadcasting is not available; therefore sections of the manual that mention XM audio, traf c displays, weather information, and AcuraLink features do not apply. Vehicles originally delivered to the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but will not function because the XM satellites (aimed toward the U.S. mainland) are too far away to obtain reception.

Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico This section describes the differences in navigation system operation for vehicles delivered in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Map Coverage All roads displayed on the map screens are detailed coverage roads. Text related to unveri ed roads or areas are not applicable. The following topics do not apply:

Unveri ed road descriptions (see page 7, 102 )

Cautions and pop-up windows related to unveri ed roads (see page 71 )

Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unveri ed routing (see page 103 )

Other Map Issues See the coverage section for a list of

islands with coverage (see page 129 ).

Address and POI Entry Screens The following differences occur for map, address, and POI selection:

Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current island may result in a screen caution message. This is normal because there are no ferry routes between islands available in the database.

Setup Screen Differences The SET UP screen differences are minor and are listed below. See the Setup section (page 92 ) for additional information.

Coverage Areas

Frequently Asked Questions

146 Navigation System

Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses

Problem Solution

Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every time I start the car? I am the only driver.

The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate the navigation system in a safe manner.

I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be found. Is there any other way to route to the location?

Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street rst. In rural unveri ed areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the map. See By Map Input on page 45 .

When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is this normal?

Yes. As you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the system looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not apply.

How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations, or the Home Address?

This is done in the SET UP screen (Main Set up), under Personal Information. See page 93 .

I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SET UP screen (Main Set up) is not OFF. See page 93 .

2) Go to Basic Settings in the SET UP screen (Other), and set Voice Recognition Feedback to ON. See page 101 .

The voice control system is having dif culty recognizing my voice commands.

Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 14 ). Say Help at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system cannot recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.

When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange. What causes this?

The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.

When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch to the night display mode. Why?

Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to maximum, and Map Color in SET UP is set to Black for Night. See Switching Display Mode Manually on page 114 .

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 147

Problem Solution The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode, and it is hard to see. Why?

Verify the following: The Map Color in SET UP is set to White for Day. See Switching Display Mode Manually on page 114 .

How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to Personal Information in the SETUP screen (Main Setup), and select PIN Number. Select GO Home 1 PIN or GO Home 2 PIN or Address Book PIN and enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 98 .

I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses (DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2). How do I reset it?

PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 98 . Your dealer can reset the PIN for you.

CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen. Why?

Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if your phone is paired, it is in use; press the HANG-UP button.

Frequently Asked Questions

148 Navigation System

Traf c

Problem Solution My AcuraLink Real-Time Traf c is missing and is not displaying properly. What is wrong?

Verify the following: Check the traf c icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traf c. Page

67 walks you through the veri cation steps. Your XM traf c subscription may have expired. Call XM at (800) 852-

9696 and verify your account status. If your subscription has lapsed, you may need to request a rapid refresh. After XM refreshes your account status, leave the vehicle running outside for 30 minutes to receive the refresh. See page 120 for the status of your subscription.

It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traf c. You can call Acura Client Services to see if there is an outage (page 127 ).

If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance. AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal. It will not work in Alaska, Hawaii,

Canada, and Puerto Rico.

When I am driving a route on the freeway and Traf c Rerouting is ON, sometimes the system provides a detour route. Why is this?

The system will provide a detour route to your destination only if it can nd a considerably faster route than the original one.

While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system has me exit and take an alternate freeway with unknown ow speeds or surface streets. Why is this?

Based on freeway congestion along your route, the system predicted that taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own experience to determine whether the alternate route would be faster.

How can I ignore the detour route and return to the original route?

Turn Traf c Rerouting to OFF in Setup, under Routing & Guidance (page 109 ).

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 149

Guidance, Routing

Problem Solution The navigation system does not route me the same way I would go, or the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?

The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See Changing the Routing Method on page 52 .

The navigation wants to route me around potential traf c problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages?

This feature can be turned off. See Traf c Rerouting on page 109 .

Why is the street Im on not shown on the map? It has been here for more than a year.

The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 129 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.

The vehicle position icon is not following the road and the GPS icon text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is white or missing.

The GPS antenna (located on the back of the navigation display) may be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.

Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 124 .

I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I got to my destination. Why is this?

Your route has entered an unveri ed area. See Unveri ed Area Routing on page 102 .

The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this?

Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting North-up from the Map menu. See Map Orientation on page 62 .

Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?

The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 61 .

While driving to my destination, the time to go display sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.

The Time to go is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed slows down when you encounter slower traf c, the system updates the Time to go based of your actual speed to give you a better estimate of arrival time.

The vehicle position icon on the map lags a short distance behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there anything wrong?

No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 124 .

Frequently Asked Questions

150 Navigation System

Problem Solution While I drive, my screen shows white dots (breadcrumbs) on it. What do they mean?

These are called breadcrumbs. If you drive more than 1/2 mile from mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road Tracking on pages 69 and 111 .

How can I get rid of the white dots (breadcrumbs) from my screen?

Go to Vehicle in the SET UP screen (Other), and set Off-road Tracking to OFF, then return to the map. See page 111 .

A road that I selected to avoid is being used when routing. What is wrong?

When you draw your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that include at least one intersection. See page 106 .

My elevation (shown when I display the current position) seems to uctuate even though my elevation has not changed.

This is normal and due to errors in satellite position. The elevation can vary +/- 100 feet. See System Initialization on page 122 .

My elevation is missing on the current position screen. Why?

If the GPS antenna cannot receive signals from at least four satellites, the elevation is not displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero, or below sea level, the elevation is also not displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 151

Update DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations

Problem Solution When is my city going to become part of a fully veri ed detailed coverage area?

The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See page 129 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.

Will the navigation system work outside North America? The system contains maps for the 50 U.S. states, as well as for Canada and Puerto Rico. The system will not work in Mexico or overseas. See Map Coverage on page 129 .

Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read music discs and the update DVD provided with your vehicle. The system cannot read other mapping databases or video DVDs. If you experience any problems that you cannot resolve, please contact your dealer.

I found some errors in the database. How do I report them?

Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 127 .

Frequently Asked Questions

152 Navigation System

Display, Accessories

Problem Solution The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold weather. Is there a problem?

No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.

Rear Camera

Problem Solution When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the

screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera image. This is normal.

The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I adjust the brightness?

While the camera image is displayed, use the rotating portion of the Interface Dial (knob) to adjust the brightness. This adjustment does not affect the Setup screen brightness adjustments.

Miscellaneous Other Questions

Problem Solution My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour. Why is this?

The clock is being automatically set based on your GPS location. If you live and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this feature. See page 111 (Auto Time Zone).

When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even though I am not near the time zone. Why is this?

The time zone borders are only approximated in the system. Depending on the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can be erratic. See page 111 (Auto Time Zone).

My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn off this feature?

You can turn off this feature. See page 110 (Auto Daylight).

Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did not change time even though SETUP shows Auto Daylight is ON.

The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system is not adopted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 153

Problem Solution The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates. Why is this?

1) Go to the Clock adjustment screen in SETUP and ensure that Auto Daylight is ON.

2) The automatic daylight saving time feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system is not adopted.

For more information, see Clock Adjustment on page 110 .

The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no apparent reason. What can cause this?

You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see Auto Daylight on page 110 ). See page 111 (Auto Time Zone) for more information.

My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I nd this code?

There should be a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the navigation/audio system. This card contains the 5-digit security code and serial number. If you cannot nd it, your dealer can help you out.

I speak a language other than English. Are there any other languages available for the system?

Besides English, you may select French or Spanish for your language setting. However, messages will continue to be in English.
