Problem
Solution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. If you do not select "OK" at
startup, voice commands will not work.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).
A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see your
dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destinati on directly from the map. 2Map Input
P. 88
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?
As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
1. Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Personal Information to display the
types of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.
3. Select Delete .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.

The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio- recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.
1. Check that the nighttime dashboard brig htness control is not set to maximum.
2. Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Color > Map Color . Set the
Night color to Black for the best contrast. 2 Switching Display Mode Manually

Home or the PIN for personal addresses (DRIVER 1 or

Your dealer must reset the PIN for you.
Why is CALL grayed out on the Calculate Route
screen?

• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal and is not available in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am drivi ng a route on the freeway.
If Traffic Rerouting is set to ON, the navigation system provides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one. 2Traffic Rerouting
P. 52
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.
The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on freeway
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the
alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route?
Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Routing & Guidance , and set
Traffic Rerouting to OFF . 2Traffic Rerouting

The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route. 2Changing the Route Preference

recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage
P. 227
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of
the screen is white or missing.
• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult your dealer. 2 GPS System
P. 224
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I

How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the MAP/GUID E button. Select Map Information > North-up, or say d
“Display north-up” to change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations.
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile
scales). 2Map Scale and Functions
P. 111
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival
time.

The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.
This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2GPS System
P. 224
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.
These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to ON and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads. 2Off-road Tracking
P. 61
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?
Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF , then return to the map. 2Off-road Tracking

A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection. 2 Avoiding Streets
P. 122
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.
This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors. 2GPS System
P. 224
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.
The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.
