Troubleshooting
Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a short distance behind my actual position, especially at intersections?
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes increase even though I am getting closer to my destination?
The “time to destination” is based on your actual road speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate of arrival time.
Why does my clock frequently change the time forward and backward by one hour?
The clock setting is automatically updated based on your
GPS location. If you normally drive between two time zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can turn this feature off.
16
For more Information
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or street could not be found?
Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially numbered.
How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?
1. Press the INFO button. Rotate i to select Set up and press u. Check that Volume is not set to OFF.
2. Move y to select Other, rotate i to select Basic
Settings, and press u. Set Voice Recognition Tutor to ON if you want the system to provide confirmations and system prompts.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply press and hold the VOL
9 (Volume/Power) button for two seconds; the system should reactivate.

Voice Control System
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 and climate control system, and make and receive phone calls using Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and K (Back) buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
A “Voice Info” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice control system.
2014 RDX
1 d (Talk) Button
When you press the d (Talk) button, a helpful prompt asks what you would like to do. Press and release the d (Talk) button again to bypass this prompt and give a command.
Command Input
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, the system asks you to repeat the command.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. However, listening to the feedback will help familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased.
If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, the system beeps.
On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system does not recognize your command.
You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using the d Help command. The system will display and read the list of available commands to you.
1 Command Input
The audio system is muted while using the voice control system.

Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation voice control system or Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®:
• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using.
• Close the windows and moonroof.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on the ceiling.
• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.
• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
• Refer to the Voice Info tutorial.

The voice control system can only be used from the driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes noises from the front passenger’s side.

If you leave all mapped (digitized) roads, the system automatically starts displaying a series of dots (breadcrumbs) to track the path you are taking. If needed, you can follow the dots back to the mapped road you originally left.
1 Driving Off-road
A message “Not on a digitized road” may appear when you drive half a mile away from a mapped road.
Breadcrumbs may occasionally be displayed in urban areas, such as large parking lots in shopping malls, in new subdivisions where the roads are not yet in the database, or in areas where a GPS signal is unavailable, such as in a parking garage.
Off-road tracking breadcrumbs are limited to approximately 150 miles. Breadcrumbs at the beginning of the trail are deleted if you exceed that distance.
Breadcrumbs are displayed only at 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile map scales.

Solution
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. If you do not select OK at startup, voice commands will not work.
A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.

Solution
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set to ON and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.
Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Vehicle, and set Off-road Tracking to OFF, then return to the map.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that include at least one intersection.
This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
My elevation (shown when I display the current position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed.
My elevation is missing on the “current position” screen.

2014 RDX
Problem
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour.
The clock changes even when I am not driving near a time zone boundary.

Daylight to OFF.
The automatic daylight feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system has not been adopted.
Daylight saving time has started, but the navigation system did not change time even though Auto
Daylight is set to ON.
The navigation system automatic daylight feature is not switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no apparent reason.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code.
How do I change the interface language?
Press the INFO button. Select Set up > Other > Clock Adjustment, and set Auto
Daylight to ON. Note that the automatic daylight feature does not work in regions where the daylight saving time system has not been adopted.

System Initialization
2014 RDX
The navigation system must be initialized if power to the navigation system is interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
Find the navigation system’s security code and serial number label in your Owner’s
Manual kit. Do not store the label in your vehicle. If you lose the label, you must first retrieve the serial number, and then obtain the code. You can find out about your serial number and security code from a dealer.
1. Set the power mode to ON, and turn on the audio system.
If you set the power mode to
ACCESSORY, you will be requested to enter the security code. See step 3.
Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the power was interrupted, your system may require GPS initialization.
2. Press and hold the VOL
9
(Volume/ Power) button for more than two seconds.
The system is reactivated when the system’s control unit recognizes that the system is in your vehicle.
If the control unit fails to recognize,
“ENTER CODE” appears on the navigation screen.
3. Enter the security code.
If you do not enter the security code correctly after 10 tries, leave the system for one hour before trying again, or visit a dealer to have the system reset.
NOTE:
In the U.S. you can register the security code at Acura Owners (owners.acura.com.), and find information on how to retrieve the serial number and obtain the code at radio-navicode.acura.com.
If initialization is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position within 10 minutes, the following screen is displayed.
230
QRG
If you are experiencing GPS reception problems:
System Initialization Startup Confirmation Screen
2014 RDX
Startup Confirmation
Screen
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed when initialization has successfully completed. It is displayed every time you start your vehicle. Press u to select OK to continue.
Map Matching
Map matching is the process of using the acquired GPS information to locate your position on the map screen. If you are on a mapped road, the name of the road is displayed along the bottom of the map screen when map matching is completed.
Do not enter a destination until the road name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location on a different street (e.g., in urban areas where streets are close together), may show an incorrect elevation, or may delay the display of the vehicle position icon at intersections. This is normal; the system will correct itself while you drive.

System Limitations
QRG
2014 RDX
232
GPS System
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 the sky. The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. The signal reception can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side windows
• 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
• Audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built into the GPS for which the navigation system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the approximate location of a destination address. This occurs if the number of possible addresses is different from the number of actual addresses on a block. For example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block with 100 possible addresses
(because it is followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system. If there are only
25 actual addresses on the block, the actual location of address 1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects conditions as they existed at various points in time before production. Accordingly, your database may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may be missing when you search the database because the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or a place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations, hospitals, and other public institutions.
Do not rely on the navigation system if you need law enforcement or hospital services. Always check with local information sources.
QRG
In addition, the map database contains verified and unverified areas. Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. A message will warn you if your route includes unverified streets. Exercise additional caution when driving in unverified areas.
The 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
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been made to verify that the database is accurate. The number of inaccuracies you experience increases the longer you go without obtaining an updated map database.
