Accessories Precautions

The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS reception.

Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.

Important Safety Information

Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.

Enter information before you begin driving or when stopped. As you drive, listen to the audible instructions and use voice commands when possible. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.

Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.

The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey traffic laws.

2 System Limitations P. 152

Troubleshooting For more Information (P141)

ren ce G

u id

e

Why does the vehicle position icon on the map lag a short distance behind my actual position, especially at intersections?

This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.

Why does the time to destination display sometimes increase even though I am getting closer to my destination?

The time to destination is based on your actual road speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate of arrival time.

How do I specify a destination when an entered city or street could not be found?

Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In rural unverified areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially numbered.

How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?

Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navigation Settings and press . Move to select Guidance. Select Guidance Volume and press . Adjust it to the preferred volume level.

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

In most cases you do not need to enter a code. Simply press and hold the (Power) button for two seconds, the system should reactivate.

The system displays voice commands that can be accepted on the displayed screen. Say only and exactly what is on the screen.

1 Command Input

The audio system is muted while using the voice control system.

Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation for most of the navigation system functions. The voice control system uses the (Talk) and (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling. A Getting Started feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice control system.

2 Voice Recognition Guide P. 14

Command Input If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, the system asks you to repeat the command. When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. However, listening to the feedback will help familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, the system beeps. On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system does not recognize your command. You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using the Voice Help command. The system will display and read the list of available commands to you.

System Initialization

The navigation system must be initialized if power to the navigation system is interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery was disconnected).

Entering the Security Code In most cases, you do not need to enter a security code. Follow the steps below to reactivate the system.

1. Set the power mode to ON, and turn on the audio system.

2. Press and hold the (Power) button for more than two seconds. u The system is reactivated when the

systems control unit recognizes that the system is in your vehicle.

If the control unit fails to recognize, you must go to a dealer and have the system checked.

Acquiring GPS Information Depending on the length of time the power was interrupted, your system may require GPS initialization.

If initialization is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Startup Confirmation screen. If the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position within 10 minutes, the following screen is displayed.

If you are experiencing GPS reception problems:

18 ACURA MDX GAS_HYBRID NAVI-31TZ58400.book 151

Startup Confirmation Screen The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed when initialization has successfully completed. It is displayed every time you start your vehicle. Press to continue.

Map Matching Map matching is the process of using the acquired GPS information to locate your position on the map screen. If you are on a mapped road, the name of the road is displayed along the bottom of the map screen when map matching is completed. Do not enter a destination until the road name is displayed. The system may initially show your location on a different street (e.g., in urban areas where streets are close together), show an incorrect elevation, or delay the display of the vehicle position icon at intersections. This is normal; the system will correct itself while you drive.

System Limitations

GPS The signals received from GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and require an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. The signal reception can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following: Metallic window tint on the front or side

windows Mobile 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

Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit

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

GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into GPS for which the navigation system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet or tens of meters.

Address Calculation The destination icon shows only the approximate location of a destination address. This occurs if the number of possible addresses is different from the number of actual addresses on a block. For example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block with 100 possible addresses (because it is followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system. If there are only 25 actual addresses on the block, the actual location of address 1425 would be at the end of the block.

Database The digitized map database reflects 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. For example, some places/landmarks may be missing when you search the database because the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or a place/ landmark is not yet in the database. This is also true for police stations, hospitals, and other public institutions. Do not rely on the navigation system if you need law enforcement or hospital services. Always check with local information sources. In addition, the map database contains verified and unverified areas. Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. A message will warn you if your route includes unverified streets. Exercise additional caution when driving in unverified areas.

Map Coverage The navigation system provides map coverage for the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The map coverage consists of accurately mapped (verified) metropolitan areas and a less accurate (unverified) rural database. Note that unverified areas are constantly being reviewed and converted to verified areas each year.

Map coverage update information is available from Acura Client Relations or online at acuranavi.navigation.com/acura- na (U.S.) or www.acuranavi.ca (Canada).
