System Setup
Multi-view Rear Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a Multi-
view rear camera as shown in the
illustration.
When you shift to R (Reverse) with the
ignition switch in the ON (II) position,
the rear view is shown on the navigation
screen. Parking guide lines appear in the
rear view. For the best image, always
keep the camera lens clean, and be sure
it is not covered.
Since the camera display area is limited,
you should always back up slowly and
carefully, and look behind you for
obstacles.
Visible Range of the Rearview
Image
The rearview image is displayed within
approximately three meters of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The Multi-view rear camera has a
special lens that makes distances
appear different th an they actually
are.
The Multi-view rear camera display has a limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear different from reality.
Make sure to check the surrounding
area carefully.
Tip:
To turn the guide lines on or off, press
and hold the CANCEL button for three
seconds.

System Initialization
System Initialization
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.
This initialization requires the
following:
• Entry of the 5-digit anti-theft security code to “unlock” the audio and
navigation system.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the length of time the
system was without power). (See
GPS Initialization on page127.)
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map
(displays current street at the bottom
of the map). (See Map Matching on
page 128.)
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is
disconnected for any reason, you will
have to enter a security code for the
audio and navigation system before you
can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received one card
containing the navigation system’s
security code and serial number. Keep
this card in a safe place in case you need
the code. If you lose the card, you must
obtain the security code from your
dealer.
Enter the 5-digit security code in
accordance with the owner’s manual for
your vehicle. If you do not enter the
security code, the navigation and audio
voice will not function.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated
to your optional navigation system PIN
(for Address Book or Home Address).
GPS Initialization
Depending on the le ngth of time the
battery was disconnected, your system
may require GPS initialization. If it
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the
system proceeds directly to the
Disclaimer screen (see page 18).
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.
2010 MDX

128Navigation System
System Initialization
If the navigation system finds the
satellites properly, this box clears and
the Disclaimer screen is shown. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to
locate a sufficient number of satellites to
locate your position, the following
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a
signal, follow the in structions on the
screen, or contact yo ur local dealer for
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than
10 minutes.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 procedur e, 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 th e 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. 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 GPS signals 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.
