Database LimitationsYou will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate and new
businesses start in the old locations. For
this reason, you may occasionally find
inaccurate information when you select
and drive to a point of interest (for
example, a restaurant is now a jewellery
store). The number of these inaccuracies
increases the longer you go without an
update.The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your DVD may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc versions
may change in the middle of a
production year. The version shipped
with your vehicle was the most recent
available at the time of production and
is considered standard equipment for
that vehicle. There is no free program to
retrofit early production vehicles with
the latest disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page 103.In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, process, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular
type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other
limits
• Road traffic, safety, or conditions

Navigation SystemClient Assistance
Visiting Your DealerWe strive to make this manual as
complete as possible and to answer all
questions regarding operation of the
system. Occasionally, you may run into
a specific issue that you cannot find in
the book. You may save yourself a trip
to the dealer by first consulting the
following resources:
• The Troubleshooting section (see
page 126).
• The Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) section (see page 117).
• For detailed questions regarding
audio or other systems that interact
with the navigation system, see your
Owner’s Manual or the Advanced
Technology Guide.
• Call Acura Client Services (see
“Acura Automobile Client Services”
on page 102).
• For database or POI issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 102).If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service consultant. That way, the service
consultant can document the issue for
the factory to allow more efficient
troubleshooting.
Some issues may at first seem random,
but you may notice a pattern. For
example, they only occur when you
enter a specific address, or when driving
on a certain road, or just when it’s cold.
This information is very useful to the
service consultant. Be patient, the
service consultant may be unfamiliar
with your specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVDAcura is continually expanding the
scope of the navigation system.
Upgraded software with improved
mapping will be made available for
purchase periodically, usually in the fall
of each year.
To purchase an updated DVD or a
replacement DVD, order online at
www.acuranavi.ca.
NOTE:
• DVDs are not available at your
dealer. However, the dealer may
order a DVD for you as a courtesy.
There is no program for free DVD
updates.
• The DVD order line staff cannot
answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.
• Purchasing used discs from alternate
sources or online auctions may cause
operational problems since they are
likely to be incompatible with your
current software.
