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.
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 touch screen, joystick 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.
4 Navigation System
Accessories Precautions
If you have front 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 under the dash board.
If you plan to install electronic components such as radar detectors, vehicle location devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation control unit under the driver’s seat, near the navigation screen in the dash, or near the GPS antenna under the dash board.
Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.
Introduction
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.
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.
Navigation System 5
Introduction
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 93).
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 appears at the bottom of the map screen (see page 18). 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 55.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds of streets: verified (dark colored) and unverified (light colored). The differences between the two types of streets are contrasted in the chart on page 7.

Time and distance
“to go”
Verified streets (dark colored)
These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities.
Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as interstate freeways.
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.
While driving to your destination, the displayed route line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance to your destination.
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.
Voice guidance issues maneuvers such as “In a half mile make a right turn.”
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while on route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.
Unverified streets (light colored)
These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town.
Shown on the daytime map screen as light brown.
These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The system does not contain information about one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and can have errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Your route line is either a blue 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 79.
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 79.
The suffix “if possible” is added to each guidance maneuver. For example: “In a half mile make a right turn, if possible.”
Because the average speed of these roads is not known, the time and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph for these roads.

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 Talk and
BACK buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map light on the ceiling.
Talk button
BACK button
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all of the speakers are muted.
Navigation System 11
Getting Started
Microphone
(on the ceiling)
Talk
button
This button activates the voice control system. Press it when you want to give a voice command. See Voice Command
Index on page 118 for a list of voice commands.
BACK
button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press it, the display returns to the previous screen. When the previous screen appears, the system replays the last prompt. This button is enabled for the navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an audio or climate control voice command up to one second after the command confirmation.
Using the Voice Control System
Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands. The voice control system is activated with the Talk button. To control your navigation system by voice, press and release the Talk button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command. 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 you hear a prompt such as “Please use the touch screen to...” or “Please choose an area with the joystick,” the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
12 Navigation System
Anytime you are not sure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help” at any screen. The system can then read the list of commands to you.
When you speak 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. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in Set up.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition, 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 118.
•
Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling. Place your hand over the microphone; if you feel any airflow, adjust the vents.
•
Close the windows and the sunroof.
•
Set the fan speed to 1 or 2.
• After pressing 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.
Getting Started
• If the system cannot recognize your command, speak louder.
• If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly.
• If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.
Navigation System 13
Getting Started
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. Every selectable item on the screen, including some listed items, is recognized by the voice control system.
• Touch the desired item on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
Tip:
If buttons are very dark colored, this means that they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the following:
• Use the joystick to scroll through the list item by item.
• Use the voice control system and say
“ Next ” or “ Previous ” or use the “on screen” scroll up or down buttons, or the ZOOM buttons to scroll through the list page by page.
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.
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.
• Touch the item on the screen.
• Use the joystick to move the highlighting to the item, then push in on the joystick.
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a keyboard. Use the displayed letters to enter the information. Enter each letter by one of the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter using the joystick, then push in on the joystick.
• Touch the desired letter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the name that represents each letter or symbol. This improves recognition. The system will only respond to the names shown in the following graphic. For example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “ A ”;
“ Alpha ”; or “ Apple .”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “ M ”;
“ Mike ”; or “ Mary .”

The system contains the locations of many businesses, parks, hospitals, etc.
This selection lets you search these by category, name, or phone number.
Map Input (see page 34)
This selection allows you to point to a destination on the map using the joystick. This allows you to enter a destination or address that may not be listed in the database.
Previous Destinations (see page 37)
When you enter a destination with any of the available selections (except

By Voice Control:
Say “City” on the Find address by screen, and the display changes to the
Say city name screen. Say the city name and the searching will begin.
Tip:
• When entering an address by voice, it is more efficient to say the city name first, then the street name.
• When entering an address by touch, it is usually easier to enter the street first and then let the system display the city or cities that the street appears in. This avoids having to enter both the city and the 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.
22 Navigation System
To enter the city name by voice spelling, say or select CHANGE TO Spell
Mode on the Say city name screen, and the display will change to the Enter city name screen.
Say the city name by saying individual letters, one at a time.
The system has a talkback 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 such as “E as in Edward?”
You should answer “Yes.”
Alternately, to improve voice recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.”
See page 14 for a list of available words for each letter.

Select View Dest. Map and use the joystick 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 unverified area, you may or may not have routing in these areas. See

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 33).
The displayed time to destination may differ from the actual travel time because the time is calculated based on the posted road speed data. If part of your route includes unverified roads, the
“distance” and “time to go” for that portion is estimated using 25 mph as an average speed.

Map Orientation
The map can be oriented 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”
The red arrow in both heading symbols always shows the direction north. Touch the symbol on the map screen to switch between the available orientations, or say, “Display heading up,” or “Display north up.”
You can switch between the two by saying “Display North up,” or “Display
Heading up,” or by touching the Map
Orientation icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
In the larger map scales (above
2 mile or 3 kilometer), the map is always oriented with north facing upward. You cannot change the orientation.
To view other areas on the map, move the joystick left, right, up, or down. The map will shift in that direction. To return the map to your current location, press either the MAP/GUIDE , 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, an address if 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 actually is.
Landmark Icons
Landmark icons are shown in the map screen on 1/20 and 1/8 mile scale, or 80 and 200 meter scale. The Freeway exit information is displayed on the 1/4, 1/2, and 1 mile scales. The icons are:

You can display or hide icons by using the “Display” or “Hide” voice commands (see page 119), or by manually touching the ICON button on the map screen. When the icon bar appears, you can turn on (goes blue) the icons you wish to display on the map screen. For the icons of “Parking,”
“Restaurant,” and “Other icon,” you can choose the subcategories of icons to be displayed by selecting Icon Options at the top of the screen.
Icon Options
This feature allows you to “fine tune” some of the icons on the icon bar. The three icon choices, “Parking” (lot or covered), “Restaurant” (specific type or types of food), and “Other icon”
(hospitals, schools etc.) can each be tailored to your needs. When you touch the corresponding icon on the icon bar, the map will display your customized choice. This can help you avoid map icon clutter, and make it easier to display just the POIs you want.

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 (second) (see page 77).
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 touch Recalc . button whenever you wish the system to perform a recalculation.
Off-road Tracking
If you drive more than half a mile 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 (second) is set to On
(see page 86).
Driving to Your Destination
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 temporary 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, or the 80,
200, 400, and 800 meter map scales.
Use the ZOOM buttons to change scales if necessary.
Tracking continues for 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.
Navigation System 55
Driving to Your Destination
Viewing/Saving the Current
Location
Whenever you are on a map screen, you can always obtain your current location either by touching the Vehicle Position icon or by using the voice control system and saying “Display current location.” A screen pops up which shows the address of your current location, as well as the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
You can store the current location for later use. It does not change or cancel your current route.
For example, you are following the system’s directions to get to a destination. While sitting at a stoplight you notice a curio shop on the corner, but do not have time to visit it right now.
You can save the location to select as a destination at a later date.
To save the location, say “Save current location.” or select Save on the screen.
The location is then saved into your personal address book.
After the location is saved, select
Return to return to the map screen.
You can then use Address Book from the Enter destination by screen to select the saved location, and return to the same spot.
NOTE:
The elevation will not appear when the system is temporarily lacking proper
GPS information. The system elevation may not agree with elevations shown on roadside elevation signs, and may fluctuate plus or minus 100 feet or more.
Pop-ups and Disclaimers
When you say “OK” in the Calculate
Route to screen, or if you change your route, the system checks your route and provides you with “pop-up” messages for the following situation:
• Your route takes you into an area that you previously set as an “Avoid
Area” (see Edit Avoid Area on page 83).

To change your present route, you can do any of the following:
• Add a Waypoint (pit stop)
• Reroute (change route method, detour, avoid a certain street or streets)
• Choose a different destination from the map screen by:
1. Saying “Find nearest...” to find a
POI.
2. Saying “Go home.”
3. Using the joystick to select a different POI.
• Cancel the route
Waypoints
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 5 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.
If you wish to create a custom route of several destinations, and then control the order of routing, the function
“Today’s Destinations” is probably a better choice (see By Today’s
Destinations on page 38).
When you enter waypoints, they appear on the map screen as small red flags numbered 1-5.

A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that continually points to your destination. The driver should stop and then use the map to select streets that lead to the destination.
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 is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance.

Unverified Area Routing: On
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-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 exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.

When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using
“unverified” roads. You make this choice in Set up screen (second). 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.
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 (light colored) 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.
Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.

Unverified roads are shown only when viewing the map in the 1/20, 1/8, and
1/4 mile map scales, or the 80, 200, and 400 meter map scales.
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. In this case you will be presented with a dashed blue/pink line instead of the regular blue route line. You cannot assume that all guidance is appropriate. This is your signal to pay attention to posted traffic restrictions.
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.

From the Set up screen (second), say or select Vehicle and the following screen appears:
Off-road Tracking
With this On , the system will provide white off-road tracking dots
(“breadcrumbs”) on the map screen whenever you drive into an area where the map does not show any roads.
See Map Screen Legend on page 18.
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. This is provided so you can follow the dots to backtrack to the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a mapped road.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter scales. Use the ZOOM buttons to change the scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature off and exit Set up. To re-enable this feature, return to Set up and turn it on again.
86 Navigation System
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.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle position is not recommended. When the system acquires a GPS signal, it will automatically place the vehicle in the correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select Adjust , and the system will display a map adjustment screen.

88 Navigation System
The federal government has mandated that, starting in 2007, daylight savings time will change in March & November instead of the old schedule in April &
October. The new government daylight savings time schedule is subject to review and possible cancellation in
2008.
The dates that the navi switches between standard and daylight savings time
are stored in the navi software, and
is not triggered by GPS satellite signals.
Therefore, your navi clock will change based on the daylight savings time schedule.
If you need to adjust the clock for daylight savings time, go to the Clock adjustment screen in the Setup, and simply adjust the navi time by or
one hour.
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to
On or Off . If you are driving across the country and passing through time zones, then this feature will automatically set the time to the time zone you are traveling through.

90 Navigation System
System Initialization
If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
• Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security code to ‘‘unlock’’ the navigation system.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code into both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards that have the audio and navigation system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
System Initialization
Enter the four-digit navigation system security code, then select Done . If you have entered it correctly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. You have ten chances to enter the correct code. If all ten are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have ten more chances to enter the correct code.
Follow the instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit audio code. The navigation voice will not operate if the audio code is not entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional Navigation system PIN
(for Personal or Home Address).
Navigation System 91
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:
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within ten minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears:
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
- Move vehicle to another location
- Turn the ignition switch off
- Disconnect the battery for 30
minutes to clear the GPS receiver’s
memory
- Reconnect the battery and follow
the screen prompts
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 16).
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.
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine and restart the car. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete. The green GPS icon should appear in the upper left corner of the screen.
NOTE:
• The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
• If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen, or contact your local dealer for assistance.
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.
92 Navigation System
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.
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.
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 milionth of the strength of a local FM station), and require an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• After-market metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dash)
• Cell phones, PDAfs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or laying loose on the dash
• Radar detectors mounted on the dash
• Remote starters, or ghiddenh vehicle location systems mounted near the navigation unit
• Other after-market audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
System Limitations
• 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
Routing Method on page 43. You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to “OFF.” See Unverified Area Routing on page 79.
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.
Navigation System 93
System Limitations
This happens 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), an address of 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 actually is.
You may find 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.
94 Navigation System
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 fail or move to new locations, 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 DVD may contain inaccurate or incomplete data or information due to the passage of time, road construction, changing conditions, or other causes.
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
Database Limitations
• Road, traffic or traffic facilities safety, or conditions
• Weather conditions
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
• Traffic congestion
• Travel time
We assume no liability for any incident that may result from an error in the program, or from changed conditions not noted above.

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
Honda Customer 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 Introduction on page 4).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed their name, do not report them. Keep in mind that depending on when the data was collected, and when your DVD was purchased, 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.
• If the error does not involve the database, such as if the vehicle position icon does not follow the road, screen error messages, or other
GPS related errors, see Frequently

Navigation System 107
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 Information 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. Is this normal?
Solution
The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 20.
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 34.
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 Setup, under “Personal Information”. See page 72.
How do I delete Personal Address, Previous Destinations, or the Home Address?
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off . See page 69.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to On . See page 88.
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?
Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the vehicle is as quiet as possible, and that you are using the correct command when speaking (See Improving Voice Recognition on page 13). Say “Help” at any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.
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.
108 Navigation System
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?
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display day mode?
How can I input my destination using map coordinates?
How do I change or remove my PIN?
I forget the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it?
Solution
Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to Auto , the dash brightness is not set to maximum, and Map Color in Setup is set to Black for Night. See Display on page 70.
Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to Auto , and Map
Color in Setup is set to White for Day. See Display on page 70.
Adjust the dash brightness (+) button to full brightness. Remember to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be bright. See Display on page 70.
The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the map. See Map Screen Legend on page 46.
Go to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second), and select PIN
Number . Select User 1 or User 2 and enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 75.
PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 75. Your dealer can reset the PIN for you.
Rear Camera FAQs (vehicles with optional rear camera)
Problem
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed.
T h e rear camera image is too dark or too bright, how do I adjust the brightness?
Solution
When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the screen image switches between the navi screen and the rear camera image.
This is normal.
While the camera image is displayed, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to adjust the brightness. This adjustment does not affect the "Setup" screen brightness adjustments.
Navigation System 109
Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem
The navi does not route me the same way I would go, or the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been here for more than a year.
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.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/purple dashed line before I got to my destination. Why is this?
The map rotates while I make a turns, How can I stop this?
Solution
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 43.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 97 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
• The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dash) may be blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the dash, such as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Window metallic tinting or other after-market devices can interfere with the GPS reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on page 93.
Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on page 79.
Sometimes I cannot select between the North-up, and
Heading-up map orientations, why is this?
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display sometimes increases even though I am getting closer.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance behind especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there anything wrong?
Select the “North-up” map orientation by touching the map compass icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 51.
The “Heading-up” map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 50.
The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if you speed slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based of your actual speed to give you a better estimate of arrival time.
No, when at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the intersecting road. Large differences is vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 93.
110 Navigation System
Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”) on it. What do they mean?
Problem
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my screen?
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when routing.
What is wrong?
When I arrive at my destination, the “bulls-eye” is shown at a different location on the street. Why?
My elevation (shown when I touch the vehicle position icon) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed.
My elevation is missing on the “current position” screen.
Why?
Solution
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 55 and 86.
Go to “Vehicle” in the Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking to Off , then return to the map. See page 86.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that include at least one intersection. See page 83.
The system calculates the “bulls-eye” location based on the street address range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 52 for an example.
This is normal, and due to errors in satellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page 93.
If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least 4 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
Ordering a Navi DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one?
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version in my navigation system?
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified detailed coverage area?
Will the navigation system work outside North America?
The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing the DVD on page 98.
I got a Navi DVD from a “friend,” but it does not work. Why? Your vehicle was designed to use a white color DVD. DVDs with different colored labels, or from different manufacturers, will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 97.
The mapping database vender is constantly revising map coverage. See page 97 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The navigation system contains maps only for the lower 48 states, and portions of southern Canada. The system will not work in Mexico, Hawaii,
Alaska, or overseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map Coverage on page 99.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system?
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them?
Solution
You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 97.
No. The navigation system is designed only to read the blue DVD provided with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle manufacturers, or PC map programs will not work.
Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 96.
Display, Accessories
Problem
The display appears dim when starting the car in real cold weather. Is there a problem?
The screen does not close completely. Why is this?
Solution
No, this is normal, and will become brighter after a few minutes.
• Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Miscellaneous Other Questions
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one hour. Why is this?
Problem
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even though I am not near the time zone. Why is this?
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this?
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no apparent reason. What can cause this?
Solution
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 89.
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 89.
The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight savings time according to the schedule in effect at the time your vehicle was produced.
For more information,m see Clock Adjustment on page 91.
1. You may be near a time zone boundary... (Covered in the other "clock"
FAQs)
2. The navigation system does not, or incorrectly switches between standard and Daylight savings time. Set the "Auto Daylight Saving
Time" to "Off" on the clock Adjustment screen in Setup. Manually adjust the clock by one hour as needed. See page 91 for more information.
You can turn off this feature. See page 88.
My state does not observe daylight savings time. How do I turn off this feature?
My battery was disconnected, or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this code?
I speak a language other than English. When will other languages be available for the navigation system?
There should have been a card in the glove box with the anti-theft code for the navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code and serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
This is being considered as a future enhancement.
