• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
(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
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

Important Safety Information

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

The navigation system can distract your
attention from the road if you focus on
the screen or operate the system’s
controls while driving.

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

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
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 conflict
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 120).
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 traffic 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 68.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (red, gray, and pink)
and unverified (purple). The differences
between the two types of streets are
contrasted in the chart on page 7.

“Verified” Road
“Unverified” Road

Navigation System

Introduction
Verified streets

Unverified streets

When
displayed

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

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

Street color

Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray
(verified streets) on the daytime map screen.

Shown on the daytime map screen as purple.

The database vendor has verified 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 verified by the database vendor.
The system does not contain information whether these are on
one-way streets, have 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.

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 Unverified Area Routing on
page 98.

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 traffic 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 traffic restrictions. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 98.

Guidance
voice

Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a halfmile, make a right turn.”

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

Time and
distance
“to go”

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

The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to a
destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the

Getting Started
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 the
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TALK button. A
guidance prompt will be played, and
a pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear
in the upper left corner of the screen.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice
commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command.
Press the TALK button to get a
guidance prompt for the next command.
NOTE:
To interrupt guidance prompts, press
the TALK button again. Wait for the
beep, and give a command.
14

Navigation System

If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon? No
comment 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 find 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 give a command, the system
either performs the command or
transitions to the next step in a task.
NOTE:
Guidance prompts can be turned off.
See page 53.

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

Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition
when using the 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 154.
• It is best if the windows and
moonroof are closed. If they are open,
speak a little louder to overcome the
wind noises.

Getting Started
• Adjust 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.
• 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
Help on the INFO screen (Main
Info.) or say “Help” while the
icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen.
NOTE:
The voice control system can only be
used in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.

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 find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the BACK button on the
steering wheel.
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.

Navigation System

15

Getting Started
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.

16

Navigation System

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 finds only one entry
that matches, it completes the name
entry for you. If the system finds 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

FM Traffic
The navigation screen can display
continuously updated traffic
information when available, including
flow (traffic speed), incidents, and
construction on freeways in major metro
areas.
The display of traffic flow and incidents
on the map screen is optional and can
be turned On/Off by selecting the
“Traffic” icon on the Icon bar (see
Showing Icons on the Map on page 59).

The current metropolitan areas that have
traffic coverage can be seen on
page 140. For more current metro
coverage information, go to http://

scale.

Navigation System

23

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

Naturally, only roads with these sensors
will show traffic information. The
amount of flow data varies considerably
from one city to another. This map
display is refreshed continuously. You
can only view traffic information in the
city where you are located.

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

NOTE:
• Traffic flow and incident icons are
displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or
less map scale.
• Not all freeways within a
metropolitan area have traffic flow
data (colored bands on the side of the
freeways) - this is normal, and you
cannot assume that a lack of data
implies no traffic.
• Not all cities have traffic flow
information. See cities listed on
page 140.
• Due to freeway maintenance and
construction, traffic flow may be
available only for one side of a road,
or be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway.

NOTE:
A blue route line segment on a freeway
can mean one of two things:
• Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell
phone probes, and other methods
used to collect traffic speed
information.
• The road has no sensors, and traffic
conditions are unknown (they could
be congested).

24

Navigation System

• The displayed traffic flow may
conflict with other audio- or Internetbased traffic information.
• If traffic flow is not showing, verify
that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the
Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffic are both ON (see
page 59).

Getting Started
Viewing Incident Reports
Incident reports appear as small
diamond- or circle-shaped icons (see
Traffic Display Legend on page 22 for
examples). There are four ways to view
traffic incidents:
• By voice control, say “Display traffic
incidents.”
• Select Traffic Incidents from the
Map menu.
• Select Traffic Incidents on the
INFO screen (Main Info.).
• Select an incident icon from the map
screen.
NOTE:
The first method is recommended
because it works on any scale and
requires the minimum input.

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

To view incident details, say the number
of the incident you want to select. A
map showing the location of the
incident will be displayed, and the
message will be read to you.
NOTE:
The “On Route” tab can be selected
only when you are en route.

Listing Traffic Incidents from the
INFO Screen or Map Menu
Select Traffic Incidents from the
INFO screen (Main Info.) or Map
menu. The Traffic list screen will be
displayed.
When you select the “All” tab, a list of
all incidents within the metro traffic
area will be displayed. When you select
the “On Route” tab, a list of all incidents
on the current route will be displayed.
Incidents are listed by distance from
your current position outward in all
directions.

Navigation System

25

Getting Started
No Traffic Incidents
If you say “Display traffic incidents” or
select Traffic Incidents, but there are
no incidents, the following screen will
be displayed.

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

26

Navigation System

NOTE:
• Incident reports may be displayed on
roads that have no traffic flow data
available.
• Freeway incident reports can lag
behind the actual incident, or remain
displayed after an incident has
cleared. This is normal, and is
dependent on the reporting agency
and the speed at which the data is
updated.
• The displayed incidents may conflict
with other audio- or Internet-based
traffic information.

You can search for the destination by
inputting a place’s phone number.

Entering a Destination
Coordinate (see page 42)
You can search for the destination by

• When entering an address by the
Interface Dial, it is usually easier to
enter the street first. 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 find that your city is not listed,
it may be part of a larger
metropolitan area. Try entering the
street first.
• Prior to departure, you can set areas
to avoid. The system then includes

displayed on the screen.

The Say city name screen will not
display when a language other than
English has been selected. You will
have to enter the city name using the
Interface Dial.

By Voice Control:
Say “City” on the Find address by

Say city name screen. Say the city
name and the searching will begin.

To enter the city name by voice spelling,
say CHANGE TO SPELL MODE on
the Say city name screen, and the
display will change to the Enter city
name screen.

If the city you want is displayed on the

By Interface Dial:
Select City, and the display then
changes to the Enter city name screen.
Tip:
After the display has been changed to
the Enter city name screen, the name
of the city where your vehicle is
currently located will be displayed.
Vehicle position may not be displayed
when the automobile is traveling off
road or when vehicle position data
cannot be updated. In these situations,
you can select the City that is currently

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

Selecting the Street
By Voice Control
After you have selected the city, or if
you say “Street” on the Find address
by screen, the display changes to the
Say street name screen. Say the street
name and the searching will begin.

To enter the street name by voice
spelling, say or select CHANGE TO
SPELL MODE on the Say street
name screen, and the display will
change 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

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.

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.

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.

When entering the names of major
freeways, it is possible to use the
following abbreviations. For interstates,
use an “I” (I-10). For U.S. freeways, use
“US” (US-18). For state freeways, use
the two character state designation (CA101). For county roads, use the
appropriate designation (G-2, for
example).
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.

numbers. For example, the address 1527
should be spoken as “One, five, 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).

Changing the Route Preference
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
Route Pref. on the Calculate route to
screen by rotating the Interface Dial
knob.

The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system generally applies the
following rules to your route:
• Shortcuts through residential areas
are avoided.
• Right turns are favored over left turns
or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be
made during or at certain times of the
day) are not used.

• You can choose MAX or MIN for
four settings: Freeways, Toll
Roads, ETC Roads, and Ferries.
The route calculations for the current
selection will be displayed in the
upper right-hand corner of the screen.
NOTE:
If you select MIN or MAX of ETC
Roads as your route preference, the
system finds the route with as few
electronic toll collection (ETC) gates as
possible in MIN or as many ETC gates
as possible in MAX.

Viewing the Routes
If you select View Routes on the
Calculate route to screen, you can
view three possible routes to your
destination. You can also use the
Interface Dial to verify the areas
peripheral to the map. If you select
View Routes, the display changes to:

These different routes are shown and
calculated based on the setup options in
Route Pref..
You can select one of the three routes
(1-3) by rotating the Interface Dial
knob. The system will calculate the
selected route and display the map
screen.
NOTE:
• The driving distance and time
estimated for the various routes is
displayed.
• It is not unusual for the different
methods to pick the same route. Voice
commands cannot be used while the
system is calculating.
• Zoom IN/OUT to view route details
or traffic conditions is not available
on the View routes screen. After
moving the Interface Dial and
scrolling through the map, you can
then zoom in or out on the map
screen to view your route in details.

Route Line
When driving on unverified streets
(purple), the route line changes to either
a purple dotted “vector line” pointing to
your destination, or a blue-pink line. See
Unverified Area Routing on page 98 for
a detailed explanation of how to enable
unverified routing, and the related
cautions and disclaimers.
NOTE:
• You can always view the entire route
by simply saying, “Display entire

• When your route line uses streets that
display traffic information, the route
line may consist of orange or red
segments. This is normal. See Traffic
Display Legend on page 22, and
Viewing Flow Data on page 24.

Voice Guidance Prompts
As you get near the guidance point, you
will hear a voice reminder and see a
pop-up window showing you the
guidance point. You will typically hear
three prompts:
• The first is about 1/2 mile from the
guidance point.
• The next is about 1/4 mile from the
guidance point.
• The final prompt is close to your
actual turn.
If the distance between the next two
guidance points is very small, both of
them are displayed on the screen in a
single window, and the voice will
remind you of them at the same time.

NOTE:
• You can say “Voice” at any time, or
select Voice after pushing in on the
Interface Dial to be reminded of the
next guidance point.
• Typically, a pop-up guidance window
shows your next turn, and a voice
guidance is heard. The timing of
guidance varies depending on the
type of road you are on and the
distance to the next guidance point.
When the guidance in unverified areas,
the phrase “if possible” is inserted
before each guidance prompts. See

Driving to Your Destination
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

Going Off the Route

Off-road Tracking

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 SETUP screen
(Other) (see page 97).

If you drive away from a mapped road,
“Not on a digitized road” appears at the
bottom of the screen.

If the Rerouting option in SETUP 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.

68

Navigation System

The map screen starts displaying a
series of dots (breadcrumbs) to show the
path you have taken if Off-road
Tracking on the SETUP screen
(Other) is set to ON (see page 106).

By following the dots, you can
backtrack to the mapped road you
originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may
occasionally be displayed in urban
areas, such as large parking lots in
shopping malls, or in new subdivisions
where the roads are not yet in the
database. In other cases, you may see
dots if the system temporarily goes off
route, like in a parking garage where the
GPS signal is unavailable. These dots
appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2
mile map scales. Rotate the Interface
Dial knob to change scales if
necessary.
Off-road Tracking continues for
approximately 150 miles; dots at the
beginning of the trail will start
disappearing when you exceed that
distance. When you reach a mapped
road, the system stops displaying dots.

Driving to Your Destination
NOTE:
• When you select the “All” tab,
Avoid is not displayed.
• Because the criterion for whether the
traffic event is to be detoured or not is
included in the traffic event data
itself, the traffic rerouting is not
performed for all the traffic incidents
ahead on the route.
• Even when the route recalculation is
performed for a traffic event, if the
system cannot find any detour route
or a quicker detour route, the event
location is not always avoided.

Changing the Route
While en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination. To
change your present route, you can do
any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the DEST/

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

Decision:
Why choose
ON or OFF?

Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default)

Unverified Area Routing: ON

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

A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that
lead to the destination.

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

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

There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice

Unverified Area Routing
When driving to your destination, you
have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this
choice in the SETUP screen. The next
few pages contain an example of a route
to a destination in an unverified area
explaining the routing differences found
in unverified areas.

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

Unverified Area Routing “ON”

Unverified Area Routing “OFF”

With Unverified Area Routing OFF,
the system tries to use verified roads
whenever possible. In this example,
since only verified streets are used, it
created a longer route than necessary.
With Unverified Area Routing ON,
the route is shorter, but consists of
unverified (purple) streets that may not
be accurate. Because the streets are
unverified, there may be errors in street
location, name, or address range.
Additional caution is recommended in
these areas. Always obey posted traffic
restrictions.

NOTE:
Unverified roads are shown only when
viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4
mile map scales.

Navigation System

99

System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing OFF,
before you enter an unverified 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
unverified area and that you will be
following a dotted “vector line” that
points to your destination.
With Unverified 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 traffic restrictions.
You cannot assume that all guidance is
appropriate.
In both cases, when you actually enter
the unverified street, a short caution will
remind you. You will see and hear this
short caution message whenever you
enter unverified areas.
If you regularly enter and leave
unverified roads for short amounts of
time, there may be cases where no
guidance is provided.

streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing ON,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The guidance window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.

freeways?” Answering “No” allows you
to enter a route through an avoided area
on a freeway and skip the “Avoid area
caution box” (see Pop-ups and
Disclaimers on page 69).
When you return to the Edit avoid area
screen, the “Area” field is automatically

Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page 68.

Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect 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.

Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the

System Setup
Multi-view Rear Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a Multiview rear camera as shown in the
illustration.
Multi-view
Rear Camera

Three-way Rearview Modes
The rearview image can be easily
switched between Wide, Normal, and
Top view modes by pushing in on the
Interface Dial.
When you select the Wide or Normal
view mode and turn the ignition off, the
last mode is selected the next time the
camera is used.

Wide view

Normal view

Tip:
Only use Top view when objects are
close (less than one meter) to your
vehicle.

When you shift to R (Reverse) with the
ignition switch in the ON (II) position,
the rear view is shown on the navigation
screen. Parking guide lines appear in the
rear view. For the best image, always
keep the camera lens clean, and be sure
it is not covered.
Since the camera display area is limited,
you should always back up slowly and
carefully, and look behind you for
obstacles.

System Initialization
System Initialization

Entering the Security Code

GPS Initialization

If for any reason you lose power to the
vehicle (e.g., the battery was
disconnected), the navigation system
will require initialization.

If another system has been installed in
the vehicle, you will have to enter a
security code for the audio and
navigation system before you can use it
again.

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

The navigation system supports a VINrecognition anti-theft system. If the
correct navigation system is installed in
the vehicle, you do not need to enter a
code as shown on the screen below.

Visit http://radio-navicode.honda.com/
to retrieve the 5-digit security code for
your vehicle, or contact your dealer.
Enter the 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual for
your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Address Book or Home Address).

If this screen appears, press and hold the
audio power button for two seconds to
resume system operation. The system
may need a few moments to reacquire
the GPS signal.

118 Navigation System

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

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

If the system is still unable to acquire a
signal, follow the instructions on the
screen, or contact your local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes.

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

Although your navigation system is one
of the most highly sophisticated pieces
of equipment you will find in a modern
automobile, you may find during its use
that it has certain limitations.
The system uses GPS signals to aid in
determining its current location.
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies
built into the GPS that the navigation
system must constantly compensate for.
This can cause occasional positioning
errors of up to several hundred feet.
For example, in urban areas where
streets are close together, this could
cause the system to show that you are
traveling on a street that parallels the
street you are actually on. The system
will, under most circumstances, correct
itself while you drive.

Navigation System 119

System Limitations
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 in the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other
electronic devices docked in a cradle
or lying loose on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit

120 Navigation System

• Other aftermarket audio electronic
devices mounted near the navigation
unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway
overpasses, tunnels, or overhead
electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to
your desired destination, it may not
always generate what you consider to be
the most direct route. Try changing the
method of routing. See Changing the
Route Preference on page 51. You may
also have Unverified Area Routing set
to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 98.
Additionally, the mapping database
contains verified and unverified maps.
See Map Overview on page 6. A
Disclaimer screen will warn you if your
route includes unverified streets.
Unverified 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 unverified 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 find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the
navigation system 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
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find 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
find 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 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.
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 program to retrofit early production
vehicles with the latest software and
mapping versions. For update ordering
information, see page 124.

In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect 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

Service” on page 123).
• For database or POI issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 123).
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service technician. That way, the service
technician can document the issue for
the factory to allow more efficient
troubleshooting.
Some issues may at first seem random,
but you may notice a pattern, like they
only occur when you enter a specific
address, when driving on a certain road,
or just when it’s cold. This information
is very useful to the service technician.
Be patient, the service technician may
be unfamiliar with your specific issue.

Obtaining a Navigation
Update
Honda 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, you will need

System/Device Information from the
INFO screen (Other). Call the Honda
Navigation Center at (888) 291-4675.
You can also order online by going to
www.hondanavi.com.
NOTE:
• Updates are not available at your
dealer. However, the dealer may
order an update for you out of
courtesy. There is no program for
free updates.
• The update order line staff cannot
answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.

Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the map screens
are detailed coverage roads. Text related
to “unverified” roads or areas are not
applicable. The following topics do not
apply:
• Unverified road descriptions (see
page 6, 98)
• Cautions and pop-up windows related
to unverified roads (see page 69)
• Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 99)
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 125)

Navigation System 141

Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry Screens
The following differences occur for
map, address, and POI selection:
• Entry of a destination address or POI
on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
Setup Screen Differences
The SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 86) for additional
information.

142 Navigation System

Puerto Rico
If Street Name Guidance is set to
ON, the street names will not be read
out by voice guidance. This may change
with future data updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location?

When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal?
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address?
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.

The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands.

When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this?
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why?

Solution
The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” 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 44.
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.
This is done in the SETUP screen (Main Setup), under “Personal
Information.” See page 87.
1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen (Main Setup) is not OFF.
See page 87.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SETUP screen (Other), and set Voice
Recognition Tutor to ON. See page 96.
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.
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.
Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 108.
Navigation System 143

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why?
How do I change or remove my PIN?

I forgot the PIN for Home. How do I reset it?
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why?

Solution
Verify the following: The Map Color in SETUP is set to White for Day.
See Switching Display Mode Manually on page 108.
Go to “Personal Information” in the SETUP screen (Main Setup), and
select PIN Number. Select GO Home 1 PIN or GO Home 2 PIN or
Address Book PIN and enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice
to change or remove the PIN. See page 92.
PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 92. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if your phone is paired, it is in use;
press the HANG-UP button.

Traffic
Problem
My FM Traffic is missing and is not displaying properly.
What is wrong?

144 Navigation System

Solution
Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal. If the radio has poor signal
strength to traffic-broadcasting stations, traffic data may not be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic. See
page 59.
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your
metropolitan area traffic. You can call Honda Customer Service to see if
there is an outage (page 123).
• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem

Solution

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

The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page 51.

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 125 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 in the dashboard) 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 120.

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 unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 98.

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 Screen on page 52.

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

The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/
20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 64.

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 traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on 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 120.
Navigation System 145

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem

Solution

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

These are called “breadcrumbs.” If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on page 68 and 106.

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

Go to “Vehicle” in the SETUP screen (Other), and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF, then return to the map. See page 106.

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 102.

My elevation (shown when I display the current position)
This is normal and due to errors in satellite position. The elevation can vary
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. +/- 100 feet. See System Initialization on page 118.
My elevation is missing on the “current position” screen.
Why?

146 Navigation System

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
Updates, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem

Solution

When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area?

The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page 125 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.

Will the navigation system work outside North America?

The system contains maps for the 50 U.S. states, as well as for Canada and
Puerto Rico. The system will not work in Mexico or overseas. See Map
Coverage on page 125.

Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?

No. The navigation system is designed only to read music discs. 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 123.

Navigation System 147

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Problem
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem?

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

Rear Camera
Problem

Solution

When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed.

When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.

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

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

Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem

Solution

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

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

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

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

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

You can turn off this feature. See page 111 (Auto Daylight).

148 Navigation System

Frequently Asked Questions
Problem

Solution

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.

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 page 111.

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 111). See page 111 (Auto Time Zone) for more information.

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

The navigation system supports a VIN-recognition anti-theft system. If the
correct navigation system is installed in the vehicle, you do not need to enter
a code. Press and hold the audio power button for two seconds to resume
system operation. The system may need a few moments to reacquire the
GPS signal.
Press and hold the VOL (Volume/Power) button for two seconds. The
system should reactivate. If you have installed an aftermarket system,
contact a dealer.

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

Besides English, you may select Français or Español for your language
setting.
