Diagnostic Info
When an indicator comes on or a
message is displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID),
AcuraLink can provide information
about the cause of the indicator or
message and the recommended
action to address it. This helps you
handle the problem as it occurs,
preventing or limiting costly repairs.
The AcuraLink system cannot
determine some mechanical
problems (such as squeaks or
rattles) that are not triggered by the
diagnostic indicator monitors.
For more information on the
instrument panel indicators, see page
64.
When any indicator comes on or a
message is displayed on the MID,
AcuraLink immediately notifies you
with the message,‘‘An indicator is
on. AcuraLink can help you decide
what to do. ’’
If you do not want the information
right away, select the Check Later
option. If you want the information now,
select the Check Now option. (If the
navigation screen is not active, you
must select OK from the navigation
disclaimer screen before you can
check the information.)
Depending on the severity of the
problem, the message will let you
know if you should see your dealer
immediately or if you can wait until a
later date.

On models with navigation systemRefer to the navigation system
manual for operation of the rearview
camera.
On models without navigation systemYou can turn the camera display on
and off by pressing the power button
when the shift lever is in reverse.
The camera display turns on every
time you shift to reverse, even if you
turned it off the last time.
Whenever you shift to reverse (R)
with the ignition switch in the ON
(II) position, the rear view appears on
a display in the rearview mirror.
For the best picture, always keep the
rearview camera clean, and do not
cover the camera lens. To avoid
scratching the lens when you clean
it, use a moist, soft cloth.
Since the rearview camera display
area is limited, you should always
back up slowly and carefully, and
look behind you for obstacles.
