2008 Acura TSX ECO mode

114Navigation System
When I drive at night, the screen
is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay 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 page73.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The disp
lay mode in Setup is set to Auto, and Map
Color in Setup is set to white for Day. See Display on page 73.
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?
Adjust the dash brightness to full bright. Remember to set it back to a
medium setting, or at night, th
e screen will be bright. See Display on
page 73.
How can I input my destination using map
coordinates? 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 48.
How do I change or remove my PIN? 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 79.
I forget the PIN for Home, or
the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See information re
garding PINs on page 79. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why? Your phone is not “paired” to the HFL,
or if your phone is “paired,” it is in
use; press HFL BACK button.
