142 Navigation System

Operation in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly. These
functions include but are not limited to
AcuraLink, NavTraffi c and Weather.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped veh icles delivered
to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is
not available; therefore sections of
the manual that mention XM audio,
traffi c displays, weather information,
and AcuraLink features do not apply.
Vehicles originally delivered to the U.S.
mainland and shipped to Hawaii also
have XM, but will not function because
the XM satellites (aimed toward the
U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
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 “unverifi ed” roads or areas are not
applicable. The following topics do not
apply:
• Unverifi ed road descriptions (see
page 7, 103 )
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverifi ed roads (see page 72 )
• Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverifi ed routing (see page
10 4 )
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 131 )
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 SET UP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (pag e 93 ) for additional
information.

AcuraLink / Messages
This item is grayed out on the SET UP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.
Traffi c & Weather Status
This item is grayed out on the SET UP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.
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.
INFO Screen Differences
Messages
The INFO screen Messages feature
utilizes XM. Because XM is not
available, it is not displayed on the
INFO screen except messages such
as the diagnosis information for the
trouble of the car. In addition, the “Map menu” item New Messages
will
appear grayed out except messages such
as the diagnosis information for the
trouble of the car. This is normal.
Traffi c Incidents
This item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.
Weather Information
This item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.
Map Legend
The map legend “Traffi c” and
“Weather” descriptions may be
available, but do not apply.Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico
Although the HDD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform
the selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Alaska,
Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico to
the U.S. mainland
• If you wish to receive XM audio,
traffi c, or weather, you must call XM
and set up an account at (800) 852-
9696.
• To begin receiving AcuraLink quick tips, contact Acura Client Services
at (800) 382-2238, and ask them to
activate your AcuraLink unit.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico
• If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle is shipped to Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico, there is no
XM reception.
• The issues under “Operation in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto
Rico” apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
144 Navigation System
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed
every time I start the car? I am the only driver. The
Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always operate
the navigation system in a safe manner.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could
not be found. Is there any other way to route to the
location? Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street
fi
rst. In rural “unverifi ed” 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 46 .
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed
out. Is this normal? 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.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address? This is done in the
SET UP screen (Main Set up ), under “Personal
Information.” See pag e 94 .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) E n su r e t hat Volum e in the SET UP screen ( Main Set up) is not OFF.
See pag e 94 .
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SET UP screen (Other), and set Voic e
Recognition Feedback to ON . See pag e 102 .
The voice control system is having diffi culty recognizing
my voice commands. 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.
When the system pronounces the street name in the
guidance command or reads the destination address, it
sounds strange. What causes this? 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.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not
switch to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and Map Color in SET UP is set to Black
for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 115 .
