Glossary of Terms (page 140 )

Voice Command List (page 143 )

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.

Page 6

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 rear 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 centre 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 centre 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.

Page 7

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.

Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you to safely do so.

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 115 ). 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 64 .

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 highways and major roads connecting cities.

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

Street colour Shown as red (highways), 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 94 .

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 94 .

Guidance voice

Voice guidance issues instructions such as In a 800 metres, make a right turn.

The phrase if possible is added to each guidance instruction. For example: In a 800 metres, 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.

Page 15

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. On the map screen, a voice recognition screen and pop-up voice icon are displayed. If you press and release the TALK button while on any other screen, only the pop-up voice icon appears.

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, on the Voice Recognition Example Commands screen, it responds with Pardon? No command was heard. Please press the TALK button and say a command. To return to the previous screen, press the BACK button. On any other screen, it responds with Pardon? No command was heard. Please press the TALK button and say a command. 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 Tutor 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 either the navigation or Bluetooth HandsFreeLink voice control 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 143 .

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

Page 16

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 driver's 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.

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.

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 93 ).

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 102 ).

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 80, 200, 400, and 800 metres map scales. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to change scales if necessary.

Off-road tracking continues for approximately 240 kilometres; 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.

Unveri ed Area Routing Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unveri ed areas when en route to a destination (see Manual Overview on page 6 ). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF.

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 travelling 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.

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

Guidance (map/voice)

There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words if possible. This is to remind the driver to verify all traf c restrictions before making a manoeuvre.

Directions list A direction list is typically not available. However, depending on your route, directions are provided to help you reach the rst available veri ed road.

A direction list is provided showing street names and turn symbols in pink.

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 metre map scales.

Page 97

System Setup

96 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.

With Unveri ed Area Routing OFF, you are presented with a blue vector line that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination.

With Unveri ed Area Routing ON, a blue/pink route line is shown for unveri ed segments. Voice guidance commands in unveri ed areas always end with if possible. This is your signal that you should use additional caution, and obey all traf c restrictions. The manoeuvre window arrow shows any portions of unveri ed turns in blue/ pink dashes.

These guidance manoeuvres are only a suggestion. You should always con rm that the manoeuvre is possible. A directions list is also provided that shows any unveri ed roads in a blue colour, with pink arrows pointing to the next manoeuvre.

System Initialization

112 Navigation System

System Initialization If for any reason you lose power to the vehicle (e.g., the battery is disconnected), the navigation and audio 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 navigation and audio system.

GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the system was without power). (See GPS Initialization on page 113 .)

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 113 .)

Entering the Security Code When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received one card containing a 5-digit anti-theft code used to activate both the navigation and audio system.

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

If you lose the card or do not have access to it, you can retrieve it using one of the following methods:

1) Call Acura Client Services at 1-888-9-ACURA-9.

2) Visit your dealer.

You will need your radio serial number and vehicle VIN to retrieve the anti- theft code.

To retrieve the radio serial number, press and hold the audio preset 1 and 6 buttons. Continue to hold the buttons, then turn on the radio. Record the serial number shown on the radio display.

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

Page 114

System Initialization

Navigation System 113

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.

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.

Page 115

System Initialization

114 Navigation System

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 travelling on a street that parallels the street you are actually on. The system will, under most circumstances, correct itself while you drive.

Page 116

System Limitations

Navigation System 115

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 location systems mounted near the navigation unit

Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit

Trees, tall buildings, highway 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 48 . You may also have Unveri ed Area Routing set to OFF. See Unveri ed Area Routing on page 94.

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.

Database Limitations

116 Navigation System

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 categorised, 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 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 programme to retro t early production vehicles with the latest software and mapping versions. For update DVD ordering information, see page 119 .

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

Reporting Errors Occasionally, you may encounter database errors.

If the error pertains to highways and main veri ed roads shown in black on the map, then report it either online at http://update.navteq.com/, or to Acura Client Services.

If the error involves a purple unveri ed road, then do not report it. These areas have not been veri ed and are provided for reference only (see Map Overview on page 6 ).

For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its name, do not report them. Keep in mind that depending on when the data was collected, the database can be out of date. The business may have not reported the change(s), or not be in the database at all. Update Navigation DVDs are available for purchase, usually in the fall of each year. See Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD on page 119 regarding updates to the navigation system.

If the error does not involve the database, such as vehicle position icon error, screen error messages, or other GPS related errors, see Frequently Asked Questions on page 132 , System Limitations on page 115 , or Troubleshooting on page 139 .

Visiting Your Dealer We strive to make this manual as complete as possible and to answer all questions regarding operation of the system. Occasionally, you may run into a speci c issue that you cannot nd in the book. You may save yourself a trip to the dealer by rst consulting the following resources:

The Troubleshooting section (see page 139 )

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 132 )

The FAQs found on the online update DVD order site (see Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD)

For detailed questions regarding HFL, audio, or other systems that interact with the navigation system, see your owners manual, or the Advanced Technology Guide.

Call Acura Client Services (see Acura Client Services on page 118 ).

For database or POI issues, follow the guidelines in the Reporting Errors section (see page 118 ).

If your question is still unanswered and you wish to visit the dealer, please be prepared to demonstrate the issue to the service consultant. That way, the service consultant can document the issue for the factory to allow more ef cient troubleshooting. Some issues may at rst seem random, but you may notice a pattern, like they only occur when you enter a speci c address, when driving on a certain road, or just when its cold. This information is very useful to the service consultant. Be patient, the service consultant may be unfamiliar with your speci c issue.

Obtaining a Navigation Update DVD Acura is continually expanding the scope of the navigation system. Upgraded software may be made available to navigation system owners periodically, usually in the fall of each year.

To purchase an updated DVD, you will need your vehicles VIN number and the System/Device Information from the INFO screen (Other). Order online by going to www.acuranavi.ca.

Frequently Asked Questions

132 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 41 .

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 83.

I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SET UP screen (Main Set up) is not OFF. See page 83 .

2) Go to Basic Settings in the SET UP screen (Main Set up), and set Voice Recognition Tutor to ON. See page 93 .

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Page 134

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 133

Problem Solution 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 Colour in SET UP is set to Black for Night. See Switching Display Mode Manually on page 105 .

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

Verify the following: The Map Colour in SET UP is set to White for Day. See Switching Display Mode Manually on page 105 .

How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to Personal Information in the SETUP screen (Other), 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 88 .

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 88 . 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.

Page 135

Frequently Asked Questions

134 Navigation System

Guidance, Routing

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

The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See Changing the Routing Method on page 48 .

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 120 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 115 .

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 94 .

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 59 .

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 (80 metres - 1,6 kilometres 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 115 .

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

These are called breadcrumbs. If you drive more than 800 metres from mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road Tracking on pages 64 and 102.

Page 136

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 135

Problem Solution 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 102 .

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 98 .

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 +/- 30 metres. See System Initialization on page 112 .

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.

Page 137

Frequently Asked Questions

136 Navigation System

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 Map Coverage page 120 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, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. See Map Coverage on page 120 .

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 118 .

Page 138

Frequently Asked Questions

Navigation System 137

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 102 .

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 102 .

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

You can turn off this feature. See page 101 .

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.

Page 139

Frequently Asked Questions

138 Navigation System

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 101 .

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 101 ). See page 101 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.
