Introduction Manual Overview The manual is divided into the following sections: • Getting Started - A basic introduction that discusses the controls and how to communicate with the system. • Entering a Destination - How to enter an address or locate a point of interest (POI). • Driving to Your Destination - An explanation of the map features, guidance, and cautions.
Introduction The navigation system applies this 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.
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. Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual. While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.
Introduction Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored) When displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town. Street color Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.

Rotating it clockwise reduces the scale, showing less area with greater detail. Rotating it counterclockwise increases the scale, showing more area with less detail. Display Mode button Switches the display between Day mode, Night mode, and OFF.
Getting Started Screen All selections and instructions are displayed on the screen. The Display is not a “touch screen” - you enter information into the system either by voice or by using the Interface Dial. Upper Display Shows a summary of the audio and climate control information, as well as the time. This summary is helpful as a confirmation when adjusting audio or climate by voice. Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a mild cleaner intended for use on liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Getting Started Voice Control Basics Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of the navigation system functions. You can also control the audio system and the climate control system. The voice control system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map light on the ceiling. Navi/HFL Microphone (on the ceiling) HFL button HFL BACK button NAVI TALK button NAVI TALK button This button activates the voice control system.
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 of entry. Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the NAVI TALK button. To control your navigation system by voice: • Press and release the NAVI TALK button. • Wait for the beep. • Give a voice command.
Getting Started • Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation, and adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do 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 NAVI 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.
Getting Started Entering Information When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a screen similar to the one at the right. 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.
Getting Started System Start-up When you turn the ignition to ON (II), it takes several seconds for the navigation system to boot up. The first screen to appear is the navigation system globe screen. The screen then changes to the Disclaimer screen: Read this disclaimer carefully so you understand it before continuing. Push in on the Interface Dial to select OK, and the map screen will appear on the display. The “OK” cannot be activated by voice.
Getting Started If you press the CANCEL button, the message will be displayed the next time you start the vehicle. NOTE: The system will display the current message and any older or previously unread messages, with the newest message listed first. Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® If you have a Bluetooth-compatible cell phone that is paired, then CALL on the Calculate route to screen is enabled. When you select CALL, the system dials the number shown on the screen.
Getting Started The navigation system uses the driver number (as recognized by the MID) to personalize the navigation system. For example, if Driver 1 unlocks the vehicle, the “Driver 1” Personal Address Book and other navigation settings are automatically loaded when the vehicle is started. There is no way to change from one driver’s settings to the other’s while driving.

While driving to your destination, press the MAP/GUIDE button to switch between the map and guidance screens.
Driving to Your Destination Distance and Time to Destination When you select a destination, the distance to the destination is the actual road distance of the calculated route, and not “as the crow flies.” When viewing a list of destinations (points of interest), such as restaurants, the distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort by Distance to Travel on page 38).
Driving to Your Destination Voice Guidance Prompts As you get near the maneuver, you will hear a voice reminder and see a pop-up window showing you the maneuver. The number of reminders that you will hear before a maneuver is determined by Guidance Prompts in SETUP on page 93. With the factory default (NORMAL), typically you will hear two prompts: • The first is about 1/4 mile from the maneuver. • The final prompt is close to your actual turn.
Driving to Your Destination You can see the direction list and the distance to each maneuver. Press the MAP/GUIDE button or the CANCEL button to return to the previous screen. You can scroll through the direction list screen by screen by moving the Interface Dial up or down, or one instruction at a time by rotating the Interface Dial knob.
Driving to Your Destination Split-Screen Guidance When en route to a destination, you have two display options: single-screen mode (the factory default) and the splitscreen mode. When you get near the maneuver, the map screen changes to: Single-screen mode - A map is displayed with occasional guidance pop-up windows as you approach a maneuver. Split-screen mode - The map is always displayed on the left of the screen, and the maneuver or direction list is displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.
Driving to Your Destination Map Scale Rotate the Interface Dial knob or say a voice command such as “Display 1/2 mile scale” (see page 157) to change the scale of the map. Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a view of a wider area. After changing the scale, give the system a few moments to update the display. Functions available at various map scales Map Scale (English and Metric) For selecting units, see page 101. 1/20 mi. 1/8 mi. 1/4 mi. 1/2 mi. 1 mi. 80 m 200 m 400 m 800 m 1.
Driving to Your Destination Map Orientation The map can be orientated two ways: • North-up: North pointing up as you would normally view a paper map. • Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on always points up (as you see the road through your front windshield). “North Up” “Heading Up” NOTE: The red arrow in both heading symbols always shows the direction north.
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). 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).
Driving to Your Destination Weather Icons Weather icons are displayed on all map scales. The icons are: Daytime mode Clear Partly Cloudy Cloudy Fog Rain Freezing Rain Snow Nighttime mode Clear Partly Cloudy Cloudy Fog Rain Freezing Rain Snow Some icons can be turned on or off; you can either display them or hide them by pushing in on the Interface Dial on the map or guidance screen and select Show Icon on Map (see page 68), or by using voice commands (see page 156).
Driving to Your Destination For some icons, you can choose either to show or hide them on the map, while others like Acura Dealer are always shown.

Select an incident from the list, and push in on the Interface Dial twice.
Driving to Your Destination 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 MENU button to view the MENU screen (Route): • Cancel route (page 74) • Saying “Go home” (page 77). • Using the Interface Dial to select a different POI or address on the map (page 77).
Driving to Your Destination Search Waypoint Waypoints allow you to add an interim “pit stop” while traveling to a destination. For instance, you may want to stop for gas or food, and then continue on to your destination. Although you can enter up to five waypoints at a time, typically you may never use more than one at a time. Waypoints are routed to in the order they were entered (number 1 first, etc.), with your final destination routed to last.

System Setup 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.
System Setup 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, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.
System Setup With Unverified Area Routing OFF, the driver chose to take a shortcut and avoid the long route. The moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen and is read by the voice. 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.
System Setup With Unverified Area Routing OFF, you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination. With 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.
System Setup Traffic Rerouting When driving en route to your destination, if the system detects a traffic incident ahead on the route, the system automatically calculates the detour route and displays the pop-up box which shows you the information of the incident. When Traffic Rerouting is set to ON, the system will automatically calculate the detour route and display the pop-up box.
System Setup Say or select Edit Area to create the area to be avoided. The following screen appears: Either select Address or Map Input on the Enter avoid area by screen. Each choice provides a slightly different way to locate the approximate map display for drawing the area you wish to avoid. After selecting the choice, a map screen will be displayed. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales).
System Setup Say or select DONE to return to the Edit avoid area screen. If your selected area contains a freeway, the system will prompt you with a popup box saying “Do you want to avoid 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 72). When you return to the Edit avoid area screen, the “Vicinity” field is automatically filled in by the system. Re-edit the area “Name” if desired.
System Setup For “Places along the route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input. The diagram below shows how the system handles the search for “Places Along the Route” or “Places Around the Destination” (see Search Waypoint on page 75). For “Places around the destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination.
System Setup Clock Adjustment From the SETUP screen (Other), say or select Clock Adjustment and the following screen appears: This screen allows you to set or adjust the following: • Auto Daylight (Default = ON) • Auto Time Zone (Default = ON) • DST (Daylight Savings Time) Selection (change DST schedule) • Time Adjustment (adjust your clock) • RESET (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults) 110 Navigation System Auto Daylight Sets automatic daylight savings time ON or OFF.

System Initialization System Initialization Entering the Security Code If for any reason you lose power to the navigation system (e.g., the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use. If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
System Initialization 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: The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes. * Start the engine. * Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings.
System Limitations 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 signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) 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.
System Limitations 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).
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.
Database Limitations • Traffic facilities safety • Special events • Pavement characteristics or conditions We assume no liability for any incident that may result from an error in the program, or from changed conditions not noted above. 124 Navigation System Copyrights • infoUSA-Data: Certain business data provided by infoUSA, Inc., Omaha, Nebraska, Copyright © 2006, All Rights Reserved. • EXIT-Data: © ZENRIN CO., LTD. 2006.

Client Assistance Reporting Errors Occasionally, you may encounter database errors. • If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” 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 light brown “unverified” road, then do not report it. These areas have not been verified and are provided for reference only (see Map Overview on page 6).
Client Assistance 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 specific issue that you cannot find in the book. You may save yourself a trip to the dealer by first consulting the following resources: • The Troubleshooting section (see page 152). • The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 144).

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. The SETUP or INFO screen has “grayed out” items that I cannot select. Why? 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.
Frequently Asked Questions Problem When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch to the night display mode. Why? The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode, and it is hard to see. Why? Once I press the Display Mode button , the screen no longer automatically switches between day and night display modes. Why is this? How can I input my destination using map coordinates? How do I change or remove my PIN? I forgot the PIN.
Frequently Asked Questions Traffic Problem My Real-Time Traffic is missing and is not displaying properly. What is wrong? 146 Navigation System Solution Verify the following: • Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic. Page 68 walks you through the verification steps. • Ensure that you have the correct remote (the settings for Driver 1 and Driver 2 are set independently by each driver). • Your XM NavTraffic subscription may have expired.
Frequently Asked Questions Guidance, Routing Problem Solution The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See Changing the Routing Method on page 53. The navigation wants to route me around potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up messages? This feature can be turned off.
Frequently Asked Questions Problem Solution 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 121. While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”) on it.
Frequently Asked Questions Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations Problem Solution I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one? You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer.
