Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto RicoCertain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly. These
functions include but are not limited to
AcuraLink, and traffic- and weather-
related services.XM RadioNavigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto
Rico are equipped with XM hardware,
but XM broadcasting is not available;
therefore sections of the manual that
mention XM audio, traffic displays,
weather information, and AcuraLink
features do not apply.
Vehicles originally delivered to the U.S.
mainland and shipped to Hawaii also
have XM, but will not function because
the XM satellites (aimed toward the
U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto RicoThis section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico.Map CoverageAll roads displayed on the map screens
are detailed coverage roads. Text related
to “unverified” roads or areas are not
applicable. The following topics do not
apply:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page 6, 106)
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 72)
 Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverified routing (see
page 106)
 See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page 134)
Address and POI Entry ScreensThe following differences occur for
map, address, and POI selection:
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.Setup Screen DifferencesThe SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 94) for additional
information.AcuraLink/MessagesThis item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.Traffic & Weather StatusThis item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.

Coverage AreasPuerto RicoIf Street Name Guidance is set to
ON , the street names will not be read
out by voice guidance. This may change
with future data updates.INFO Screen Differences
MessagesThe INFO screen Messages feature
utilizes XM. Because XM is not
available, it is not displayed on the
INFO screen except messages such as
the diagnosis information for the trouble
of the car. In addition, the “Map menu”
item New Messages will appear
grayed out except messages such as the
diagnosis information for the trouble of
the car. This is normal.Traffic IncidentsThis item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.
Weather Info.This item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.Map LegendThe map legend “Traffic” and
“Weather” descriptions may be
available, but do not apply.Shipping a Vehicle
Shipping a vehicle from Alaska,
Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico to
the U.S. mainland If you wish to receive XM audio,
traffic, or weather, you must call XM
and set up an account at (800) 852-
9696.
 To begin receiving AcuraLink quick tips, contact Acura Client Relations at
(800) 382-2238, and ask them to
activate your AcuraLink unit.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle is shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico, there is no XM
reception.
 The issues under “Operation in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto
Rico” apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Opera tion, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver. The
Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location? Some cities are lumped in with a majo
r metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be
missing, or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly
from the map. See By Map Input on page 46.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal? Yes. As you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the
system looks in the database to see wh
at letters are possible and “grays out”
letters that do not apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous Destinations,
or the Home Address? This is done in the
SETUP screen ( Main Setup ), under “Personal
Information.” See page 95.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ) is not OFF.
See page 95.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the SETUP screen ( Other), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to ON . See page 104.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands. Ensure that the vents are not blowing
on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 14). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicab le voice commands. If the system cannot
recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this? The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-r
ecorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why? Verify the following: The nighttime dash brightness control is not set to
maximum, and
Map Color in SETUP is set to Black for Night. See
Switching Display Mode Manually on page 118.
