System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly
sophisticated location system with voice
control that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are and
to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The navigation system receives signals
from the global positioning system
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit
around the earth. By receiving signals
from several of these satellites, the
navigation system can determine the
latitude, longitude, and elevation of
your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so
equipped, includes mercury-containing
components. Upon removal, please
reuse, recycle, or dispose of as
hazardous waste. NOTICE

Navigation System5
Introduction
The navigation system applies location, direction, and speed information to the maps and calculates a route to the destination you enter. As you drive to that destination, the system provides map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use. The locations of many places of business and entertainment are already entered in the syst em. You can select any of them as a destination by using the touch screen, joystick, or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a destination, such as by point of interest (POI), by address, by phone number, and by selecting it from the map. The last 50 destinations are saved for reuse at a later date. The system also allows you to store a home address to simplify returning home from your destination.
Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting installed, be aware that if the tint has metallic properties, it can seriously degrade or prevent GPS reception. This is because the GPS antenna is located under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic components, such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation control unit under the dashboard, near the navigation screen in the dash, or near the GPS antenna under the dashboard. Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your attention from the road if you focus on the screen or operate the system’s controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible into the system before you begin driving, or when the vehicle is stopped. Then, as you drive, listen to the audio instructions and use voice commands when possible.
Navigation System11
Getting Started
Joystick/ENT button Moves left, right, up, and down to move the highlighting around the display, to scroll through lists, or to look around a displayed map. After making a selection in a menu or list, push in on the joystick to enter the selection into the system.In almost all cases, you can enter a selection into the system by using the voice control system , highlighting the item and pushing in on the joystick, or by touching the appropriate item you wish to select.
INFO button Displays the screen for selecting Cellular Phonebook , Voice Command Help , Map Legend, Calendar , and Calculator. See page 70.
MAP/GUIDE button Displays the map. When en route, switches between the map, guidance, and Direction list screens. See page 19 or 51.
MENU button Displays the Enter destination by screen. When en r oute, displays the Change route by screen.
SETUP button Displays the Setup screens where you can customize information in the system. See page 75.
CANCEL button Cancels the current sc reen and returns to the previous screen display.
NOTE:
The NAVI BACK button on the steering wheel performs the same basic function.
ZOOM (IN)/ (OUT) buttons Press ZOOM to zoom in (to show more detail), or ZOOM to zoom out (to show more area and less detail) while a map screen is displayed. ZOOM IN reduces the scale (showing less area with greater detail). ZOOM OUT increases the scale (showing more area with less detail).
AUDIO button Press to display the audio screen. For information on audio system features, see the Audio section of your Owner’s Manual.
Other buttons See the Audio section of your Owner's Manual.
Screen All selections and instructions are displayed on the screen. In addition, the display is a “touch screen” – you can enter information into the system by touching the images (icons) on the screen with your finger.
For example, if you need to enter a street name, a keyboard will be displayed. You can type in the street name by saying or selecting the individual character s on the screen.
Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth. You may use a mild cleaner intended for use on liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Harsher chemicals may damage the screen.
12Navigation System
Getting Started
Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of the navigation system functions. You can also control th e audio. The voice control system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.
(Sedan Controls shown)
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control system. Press and release it when you want to give a voice command. See Voice Command Index on page 140 for a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the CANCEL button. When you press and release it, the disp lay returns to the previous screen. When the previous screen appears, the system replays the last prompt. This button is enabled for navigation system commands only. However, it can be used to cancel an audio voice command up to one second after the command confirmation.
NOTE:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK buttons are deactivated while using the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature. See your Owner’s Manual and the official website ( handsfreelink.honda.com) for information on this system.

Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system as much as possible, and consider manual entry using the joystick as a backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the NAVI TALK button. To control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your command, the system changes the display in response to the command and prompts you for the next command. Using the NAVI TALK button, answer the prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, it sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice commands are available on a screen, you can always say “Help.” The system will then read the list of available commands to you.
When you give a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a confirmation or asks you for further information. If you do not wish to hear this feedback, you can turn it off. However, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use the touch screen to...” or “Please choose an area with the joystick,” the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation or Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice control system, the following guidelines should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the vo ice command that you are using. See Voice Command Index on page 140.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.
• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.

Getting Started
If you select OK, the reminder will not show up again. If you wish to have the reminder show up again later in the day, touch the Remind Later button.
If you press the CANCEL button, the message will be displayed the next time you start the vehicle.
NOTE:
The system will display the current message and any older or previously unread messages, with the newest message listed first.
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
If you have a Bluetooth-compatible cell phone that is paired, then CALL on the Calculate route to screen is enabled.
When you select CALL, the system dials the number shown on the screen. If CALL is not available (grayed out), and your phone is paired, then make sure the phone has service or that HFL is not in use; press the HFL BACK button.
