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.
A diagnostic message is generated if
any of the instrument panel
indicators stay on when they should
go off. For more information on the
instrument panel indicators, see page
63.
When an instrument panel indicator
comes on or a message is displayed
on the MID, AcuraLink immediately
notifies you with the message,
‘‘Check more information. ’’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 a
while.

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
everytime 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.

completely.●Clean the interior. Make sure the
carpeting, floor mats, etc., are
completely dry.●Leave the parking brake off. Put

Maintenance

Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a
replacement fuse with the proper rating
for the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.6. If the replacement fuse of the same
rating blows in a short time, there
is probably a serious electrical
problem in your vehicle. Leave the
blown fuse in that circuit and have
your vehicle checked by a
qualified technician.
On models without navigation systemWhen the audio system is disabled,
the clock setting in the audio system
will be canceled. You will need to
reset the clock (see page 293).
On models with navigation systemIf the navigation system fuse is
removed, the navigation system will
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the ignition switch, the system
will require you to enter a PIN before
it can be used. Refer to the
navigation system manual.
