Getting Started
12 Navigation System
Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The Display
is not a “touch screen” - you enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial .
Clean the screen with a soft, damp
cloth. You may use a mild cleaner
intended for use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown
on the navigation system screen. See
page 121 . Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control information, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confi
rmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the
radio band, frequency, and volume. For
XM radio, a brief description of the
station and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (A/C), and vent
setting. The time is automatically set
by the navigation system. Settings
can be adjusted in SETUP (see T i m e
Adjustment o n p a g e 1 1 1 ) .

AcuraLink Messages
AcuraLink enhances your ownership
experience by providing a direct
communication link between you
and Acura. AcuraLink messages are
displayed on the navigation screen.
Working through XM
® Satellite Radio,
AcuraLink works in conjunction with
your vehicle’s navigation, Bluetooth
®
HandsFreeLink® (HFL), and audio
systems to send and receive several
kinds of message. These include:
• Operating tips and information on your vehicle’s features.
• Important recall and safety information.
• Maintenance information to keep your vehicle in top condition.
• Diagnostic information to provide information about any problems with
your veh icle.
• Planned appointments with your Acura dealer. NOTE:
See your vehicle Owner’s manual for
more details on this feature.
When service information is received
from your vehicle or AcuraLink, an
envelope icon is displayed in the bottom
left corner of the navigation screen.
To view messages, press the
INFO
button and select or say “Message.” You
can also push in on the Interface Dial
on the map screen to get to the Map
menu , and select “New Messages.”
The Interface Dial controls most
AcuraLink functions. For more
information on AcuraLink, refer to:
• The Advanced Technology Guide for features and a function overview. • The vehicle Owner’s manual for a
detailed explanation of the system.

AcuraLink / Messages
For complete details on setting up
your AcuraLink messaging, refer
to the AcuraLink section in your
vehicle Owner’s manual, or go to
www.myacura.com .
NOTE:
AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal.
It will not work in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico.
Tr a f c & Weather Status
You can confi rm the reception status of XM signal, traffi c information data, or
weather information data.
The following messages will be displayed:
Message Status
Receiving The system is receiving XM signal, traffi c data, or weather data.
No signal • The system cannot receive XM signal. • XM signal is received, but the system cannot receive traffi c data
or weather data.
Expired Activation is expired. To reactivate your traffi c or weather subscrip-
tion, call XM at (800) 852-9696, or order online at www.xmradio.com
.
The order process requires the 8-character XM radio ID (displayed on
XM channel 0) and a credit card.
Loading The system is searching for the signal or updating the data.
Check Antenna Antenna error

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, and traffi c- and weather-
related services.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles 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 , 102 )
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverifi ed roads (see page 71 )
• Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverifi e d r o u t i n g ( s e e p a g e 10 3 )
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 129 ).
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 (page 92 ) for additional
information.
