(page 132 )

• Troubleshooting Guide (page 139 )

• 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.

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 ampliﬁ 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 system’s

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.

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 conﬂ 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 trafﬁ 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 O f f - r o a d T r a c k i n g on

page 64 .

Veriﬁ ed/Unveriﬁ ed Street

Your navigation system has two kinds

of streets: veriﬁ ed (red, gray and pink)

and unveriﬁ 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

V e r i ﬁ ed streets Unveriﬁ 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

(veriﬁ ed streets) on the daytime map screen.

Shown on the daytime map screen as purple.

Map quality

The database vendor has veriﬁ 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 veriﬁ ed by the database

vendor. The system does not contain information on one-

way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s 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 Unveriﬁ 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

trafﬁ 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 trafﬁ c

restrictions. See Unveriﬁ 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.

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.

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 system’s 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 ﬁ 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 conﬁ 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.

Getting Started

Navigation System 15

• The fan speed automatically lowers

when the TALK button is pressed.

Adjust the airﬂ 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 ﬁ 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.

Getting Started

16 Navigation System

Entering Information

When the system needs input from you,

the display changes to a screen similar

to the one on the next page. You can

then use the displayed letters, numbers,

or symbols to enter information. You

can enter your keyboard input in either

of the following ways:

• Say the desired letter, number, or

symbol on the screen if you are

entering a city or street name.

• Move the highlighting to the desired

letter, number, or symbol by rotating

the Interface Dial knob, then push

in on the Interface Dial.

Each entered letter will appear at the

top of the display. To enter a space

between words, say “Space” or move

the Interface Dial to the right. To

delete an entry, say “Delete” or move

the Interface Dial to the left.

If a letter has options (such as accent

marks or symbols), they will appear

in gray next to the selected letter on

the upper row. Move the Interface

Dial up to select OPTION, and use

the Interface Dial knob to select the

letter.

To enter symbols, rotate the Interface

Dial Knob and select # or @, then

move the Interface Dial up to select

OPTION.

When entering an address, the system

searches the database for words that

match the letters you are entering. As a

result, you will notice that some letters

are no longer available.

When the system ﬁ nds only one entry

that matches, it completes the name

entry for you. If the system ﬁ nds more

than one entry that matches your input,

a list of these matches is displayed.

Tip:

When entering a name of a city, street,

or place, or if you are unsure of the

spelling of the name, enter the letters

that you are sure of, then move the

Interface Dial down to select LIST.

The system will display a list of names

that most closely match your input. For

each letter that is entered, the number of

corresponding choices is displayed on

the right-hand side.

display changes to:

Tip:

• When entering an address by voice, it

is more efﬁ cient to say the city name

ﬁ rst, then the street name.

• When entering an address by the

Interface Dial, it is usually easier

to enter the street ﬁ rst. A city or cities

that the street appears in will be

displayed. For your convenience, you

do not have to enter both city and

street.

NOTE:

• If you ﬁ nd that your city is not listed,

it may be part of a larger metropolitan

area. Try entering the street ﬁ rst.

• Prior to departure, you can set areas

to avoid. The system then includes

them in its calculations for the

destination you have entered. See

Tip:

This system is enabled for both

American and Canadian Postal codes.

Selecting the City

This is helpful if the street runs through

several cities, and you know what city

includes the street. The city you are in

is displayed on the screen.

By Voice Control:

Say “City” on the Find address by

screen, and the display changes to the

Enter city name screen.

Say the city name by saying individual

letters, or words that represent the

letters, one at a time.

The system has a talk back function.

If your spoken letter is not recognized,

the system will talk back to you. For

example, if you say “E” but the system

does not recognize the command, it

will ask you, “Please select the number

of the input letter from the list,” and the

following pop-up box will appear:

You should select a letter by saying the

number.

Alternatively, to improve voice

recognition, you can say “Echo” or

“Edward” instead of “E.” See page 17 for

The system will display a list of city

names, with the closest match to the

name you entered at the top of the list.

Select the number (1-6) of the desired

city from the list.

You can also enter part of the name and

look for the name you want from the list

that appears.

Tip:

For name input, you don’t need to enter

spaces and symbols (&, -, %, etc.). The

system is also enabled for partial match

searches. For example, when you

search “LOS ANGELES,” it is on the

list of search results if you input “LOS”

or “ANGELES.”

Listings of cities and towns in the non-

detailed coverage area may have an

asterisk “*” next to their names. If you

select one, a pop-up box is displayed

saying, “No detailed street data...”, and

a street address cannot be entered (see

Map Coverage o n p ag e 1 20 ) . Tr y e nt e r i n g

the street ﬁ rst, and then select the city if

available.

Select DESTINATION MAP and use

the Interface Dial to select an icon,

approximate area, or street you wish to

choose as your destination. Otherwise,

a central location of the city will be

selected. If you select a point of interest

(POI) or road in an unveriﬁ ed area, you

may or may not have routing in these

areas. See Map Overview on page 6 .

Selecting the Street

After you have selected the city, or if

you say “Street” on the Find address

by screen, the display changes to the

Enter street name screen.

Say the street name by saying

individual letters or numbers, or words

that represent the letters, one at a time.

The system has a talk back function.

If your spoken letter is not recognized,

the system will talk back to you. For

example, if you say “E” but the system

does not recognize the command, it

will ask you, “Please select the number

of the input letter from the list,” and the

following pop-up box will appear:

Entering a Destination

Navigation System 27

You should select a letter by saying the

number.

Alternatively, to improve voice

recognition, you can say “Echo” or

“Edward” instead of “E.” See page 17 for

a list of available words for each letter.

By Interface Dial:

After you have selected the city, or if

you selected Street in the beginning,

the display changes to the Enter street

name screen. Use the Interface Dial

to enter the name of the street (e.g.,

ELM or 42ND) that is your destination.

When entering the names of major

highways, it is possible to use the

following abbreviations for names of

the highways. For interstates, use an

“I” (I-10). For U.S. freeways, use “US”

(US-18). For state freeways, use the two

character state designation (CA-101).

For county roads, use the appropriate

designation (G-2, for example).

For Trans-Canada and Provincial

highways, use “Hwy” (HWY-7). For

County roads, use “CR” (CR-32). For

Regional Roads, use “RR” (RR-5).

Tip:

When entering a street, you do not need

to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or

the type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will

automatically determine that for you,

based on your entered city and street

number.

The system will display a list of street

names, with the closest match to the

name you entered at the top of the list.

Select the number (1-6) of the desired

street from the list.

Entering a Destination

28 Navigation System

Entering the Street Number

After you have completed the street

name, the display changes to the Enter

street number screen. Use the voice

control system and say the address

number as a continuous string of

numbers. For example, the address 1527

should be spoken as “One, ﬁ ve, two,

seven.” You can also use the Interface

Dial to enter the street number.

Some address numbers may not be

available on the selected street. For

example, let’s say the individual address

ranges for a selected street name are

1 - 20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an

overall range shown on the display of 1

to 10,000. If you try to enter a number

outside the individual address ranges

such as 500, the system will show this

number as unavailable (grayed out).

• When using the Interface Dial, the

system only allows you to choose

available address numbers.

• When using voice control, the

system beeps if you try to select an

unavailable (grayed out) address

number.

If you did not select a city in the

beginning, the street name you selected

might appear in more than one city. The

system will give you a list of cities that

the street appears in. Select the desired

city from the list. The system then

displays the Calculate route to screen

(see Driving to Your Destination on

page 47 ).

Tip:

If the particular address you want

cannot be found, select Map Input on

the DEST screen (Dest. MENU 2) and

use the Interface Dial to select the

appropriate location on the map (see

By Map Input on page 41 ).

Select DESTINATION MAP and use

the Interface Dial to select an icon,

approximate area, or street you wish to

choose as your destination. Otherwise,

a central location of the street will be

selected. If you select a point of interest

(POI) or road in an unveriﬁ ed area, you

may or may not have routing in these

areas. See Map Overview on page 6 .

By Address Book

This selection allows you to choose a

personal address entry for a destination.

After you select Address Book from

the DEST screen (Dest. MENU 1), the

display changes to:

If an Address Book PIN has been set

in SETUP, the system prompts you to

enter your PIN. Say or enter your PIN.

If the PIN has not been entered, the

system displays the list.

To switch the list between Driver 1 or

Driver 2, move the Interface Dial

down.

NOTE:

When changing settings related to the

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

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

since only veriﬁ ed streets are used, it

created a longer route than necessary.

With Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing

ON, the route is shorter, but consists

of unveriﬁ ed (purple) streets that may

not be accurate. Because the streets are

unveriﬁ ed, there may be errors in street

location, name, or address range.

Additional caution is recommended in

these areas. Always obey posted trafﬁ c

This lets you know that you are about

to enter an unveriﬁ ed area and that you

will be following a dotted “vector line”

that points to your destination.

With Unveriﬁ 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 trafﬁ c restrictions.

You cannot assume that all guidance is

appropriate.

In both cases, when you actually enter

the unveriﬁ ed street, a short caution

will remind you. You will see and hear

this short caution message whenever

you enter unveriﬁ ed areas.

If you regularly enter and leave

unveriﬁ ed roads for short amounts

of time, there may be cases where no

Correct Vehicle Position

The system relies on satellites for

positioning information. Buildings,

tunnels, and other objects can block

or reﬂ ect these signals, requiring the

system to use “dead reckoning” to

determine your location and direction.

This can sometimes lead to small errors

in positioning, such as showing you on

an adjacent street.

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

owner’s 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).

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 ﬁ nds the

satellites properly, this box clears and

the Disclaimer screen is shown. If

within 10 minutes the system fails to

locate a sufﬁ 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.

System Initialization

114 Navigation System

Although your navigation system is one

of the most highly sophisticated pieces

of equipment you will ﬁ nd in a modern

automobile, you may ﬁ 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.

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 Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing set

to OFF. See Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing on

page 94.

Additionally, the mapping database

contains veriﬁ ed and unveriﬁ ed maps.

See Map Overview on page 6 . A

Disclaimer screen will warn you if

your route includes unveriﬁ ed streets.

Unveriﬁ 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 unveriﬁ 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 ﬁ 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

116 Navigation System

You will ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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 system’s 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

ﬁ 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 reﬂ 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 retroﬁ 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

reﬂ ect any of the following categories

of information:

• Neighborhood quality or safety

• Population density

Reporting Errors

Occasionally, you may encounter

database errors.

• If the error pertains to highways

and main “veriﬁ 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

“unveriﬁ ed” road, then do not report

it. These areas have not been veriﬁ 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

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 speciﬁ c issue that you cannot ﬁ nd

in the book. You may save yourself a

trip to the dealer by ﬁ 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 owner’s 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

efﬁ cient troubleshooting.

Some issues may at ﬁ rst seem random,

but you may notice a pattern, like they

only occur when you enter a speciﬁ c

address, when driving on a certain road,

or just when it’s cold. This information

is very useful to the service consultant.

Be patient, the service consultant may

be unfamiliar with your speciﬁ 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 vehicle’s VIN number and the

System/Device Information from the

INFO screen (Other). Order online by

going to www.acuranavi.ca.

NOTE:

• Update DVDs are not available at

your dealer. However, the dealer may

order an update DVD for you out of

courtesy. There is no programme for

free DVD updates.

• The update DVD order line staff

cannot answer technical questions

regarding navigation operation,

coverage, or POIs.

Coverage Areas

120 Navigation System

Map Coverage

The system provides map coverage for

the following U.S. states, as well as for

Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. The

all map coverage consists of accurately

mapped (veriﬁ ed) metropolitan areas

(in the following list) and a less

accurate (unveriﬁ ed) rural database.

See Map Overview on page 6 for a

discussion of map coverage.

The cities and metropolitan areas in the

following list are fully mapped. Only

major streets, roads, and highways have

been veriﬁ ed outside these areas. If

your route passes through these areas,

routing may be limited, depending on

your routing choices. See Unveriﬁ ed

Area Routing on page 94 .

If you desire additional map coverage

information, contact Acura Client

Services or go to www.acura.ca. Enter

your vehicle model and model year, and

then select the province for which you

want to verify map coverage.

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

ﬁ rst. In rural “unveriﬁ 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 difﬁ 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

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.

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 I’m 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 unveriﬁ ed area. See Unveriﬁ 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 trafﬁ 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.

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 ﬂ 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.

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 veriﬁ 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 .

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.

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 ﬁ 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 ﬁ 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.

Troubleshooting

Glossary

140 Navigation System

Glossary

The following is a glossary of terms

pertaining to the voice recognition

navigation system.

Avoid Area - Areas you wish to avoid

can be entered into the system, and

will be avoided while routing.

Breadcrumbs - Off-road tracking dots

that can be followed on the map to

retrace your route back to a mapped

(digitized) road. This function can be

turned on/off in the SETUP screen

(Other).

Database - This consists of the map

data, and the POI (Points of Interest)

data stored on the HDD.

DCA - Detailed Coverage Area.

U.S. states, as well as Canada, Puerto

Rico, and Mexico, are mapped. See

page 120 for a list of these areas.

Digitized Road - A road that appears

on the navigation screen. The road

name will appear at the bottom of the

navigation screen. If the user drives

“off road,” the navigation system will

display “breadcrumbs,” depending

on how far you drive from a mapped

road.

Disclaimer Screen - Screen containing

cautionary information. It is meant to

be read carefully and acknowledged

by the client when using the

navigation system.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions. See

page 132 for a list of the client FAQs and

troubleshooting information.

GPS - Global Positioning System.

A network of 24 satellites in orbit

around the earth. The navigation

system can simultaneously receive

signals from up to 12 satellites to

accurately position the vehicle on the

map.

GPS Antenna - Located on the back of

the navigation display, which is in the

centre of the dashboard. Electronic

items operating in this general

location can interfere with the GPS

signal.

HDD - Hard Disc Drive. The primary

data storage device containing your

vehicle’s navigation and map software

and uploaded wallpaper images. The

HDD can also store audio ﬁ les. See

the Audio section of your owner’s

manual for more information.

HFL - Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.

Your vehicle is equipped with

this feature, which uses Bluetooth

technology as a wireless link between

the vehicle and your Bluetooth-

compatible cell phone.

Icon - Symbol representing Points of

Interest (POI) that can be displayed

on the map.

Glossary

Navigation System 141

Initialization - This refers to the period

needed to reacquire the GPS satellite

orbital information whenever the

navigation system power has been

disconnected. This can take 10 to 45

minutes with the vehicle out in an

open area.

LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. The

navigation screen.

Map Matching - The received GPS

information allows the navigation

system to position the vehicle on the

map. Map matching has occurred

if the map screen is displaying the

current street name in the bottom-

shaded area.

Mic -Abbreviation for the microphone

used for receiving voice commands.

It is located near the map lights in the

ceiling.

MW - Manoeuvre Window. While en

route to a destination, this window

displays information about the next

manoeuvre.

Navi - Abbreviation for the navigation

system.

North Pointer - The map symbol

showing the map orientation. See

page 59 .

Off road - This occurs when the user

leaves mapped roads. Off-road

tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are

displayed if the option is enabled in

the SETUP screen. The user can use

them to return to a mapped road. The

bottom of the navigation screen will

say, “Not on a digitized road.”

Outlying Areas - These are rural areas

that typically have only their main

roads mapped. All other roads are

shown in purple for reference only,

since they have not been veriﬁ ed.

PIN - Personal Identiﬁ cation Number.

A 4-digit number created by the

client to protect personal information.
