2011 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN Navigation Manual (in English)

Navigation System
System Setup
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST Schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
(April-October or March-
November ) when daylight saving time
will automatically occur in your
navigation system. The system default is
the March-November schedule as
mandated by the U.S. government. During 2010-2011, it is possible that
this new change will
be canceled by the
government and returned back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change th e schedule in this
setting to the “Apr il-October” schedule.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. You can reset the adjustment
by selecting Reset. Selecting Done
returns you to the previous screen.
NOTE:
Selecting Reset also clears any
changes you made to “Auto Daylight
Saving Time,” “Auto Time Zone by
GPS,” or “DST Selection” settings.
Depending on your location, you may
need to adjust these settings.
Clock Type
Allows you to choose the design of the
clock screen. For more informaion, see

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 4-digit anti-theft security code.
• GPS initialization (may not be needed depending on the le ngth of time the system was without power).
• Map matching to align the GPS coordinates to a place on the map (displays current street at the bottom of the map).
Entering the Security Code
If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a secur ity code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you should have received two cards containing the audio and navigation system’s security codes and serial numbers. Keep these cards in a safe place in case you need the codes. If you lose the cards, you must obtain the security codes from your dealer.
Enter the four-digit security code, then select Done. If you make a mistake, the system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-enter your 4-digit security code. If you have entered it corr ectly, the display changes to the Disclaimer screen. You have 10 chances to enter the correct code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to have 10 more chances to enter the correct code.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated to your optional navigation system PIN (for Personal Address Book or Home Address).

Navigation System99
System Initialization
GPS Initialization
Depending on the length 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 16). During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in th e open with a clear view of the sky.
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 you r local dealer for assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 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 procedure, 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 destina tion at this time. When the name of the 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.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes less than 10 minutes.* Start the engine. * Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings.* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical accessories located near the GPS antenna.* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to acquire its location. Check the following:* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear view of the sky.* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic window tint above antenna, or electrical items near antenna (see owner's manual for details).* Check GPS antenna cable connection. * Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.

100Navigation System
System Limitations
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 se veral 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.
Depending on your current view of the sky and the position of the satellites, the elevation may be shown incorrectly. You may also notice some delay of the vehicle position icon at intersections; this is normal.
GPS Reception Issues
The signals received from the GPS satellites are extremely weak (less than a millionth of the strength of a local FM station) and requir e an unobstructed view of the sky. The signal can easily be interrupted or interfered with by the following:
• Aftermarket metallic window tint above or to the sides of the GPS antenna (located under the dashboard)
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic devices docked in a cradle or lying loose on the dashboard
• Radar detectors mounted on the dashboard
• Remote starters, or “hidden” vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit
• Other aftermarket audio electronic devices mounted near the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, tunnels, or overhead electrical power wires
Although the system will direct you to your desired destination, it may not always generate what you consider to be the most direct rout e. Try changing the method of routing. See Changing the Routing Method on page 47. You may also have Unverified Area Routing set to OFF. See Unverified Area Routing on page 85.
Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps. See Map Overview on page 6. A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets.Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range.Exercise addition al caution when driving in these unverified areas.

Navigation System101
System Limitations
The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination.This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block). Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts), the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of at the end of the block where the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system occasionally reboots. This is indicated by the display returning to the globe screen. A reboot can be caused by a number of things, such as extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads. It does not necessarily indicate a problem that requires service. If this happens frequently, please see your dealer.

102Navigation System
Database Limitations
You 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 ho spital 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 th e 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 jewelry 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, ch anging 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 105.
In addition, this database does not include, analyze, proc ess, 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
• Weather conditions
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
