Reference Information
System Initialization
The navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the
battery was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
Find the navigation system’s security code
and serial number label in your Owner’s
Manual kit. Do not store the label in your
vehicle. If you lose the label, you must first
retrieve the serial number, and then obtain
the code. You can find out about your
serial number and security code from a
dealer.
1.Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and
turn on the audio system.
If you turn the ignition switch to
ACCESSORY (I), and you will
requested to enter the security code.
See step 3.
2. Press and hold the VOL 9 (Volume/
Power) button for more than two
seconds.
The system is reactivated when the
system’s control un it recognizes that
the system is in your vehicle.
If the control unit fails to recognize,
“ENTER CODE” appears on the
navigation screen.
3. Enter the security code.
If you do not enter the security code
correctly after 10 tries, leave the
system for one hour before trying
again, or visit a dealer to have the
system reset.
NOTE:
In the U.S., you can register the security
code on Owner Link (owners.honda.com.) .
To find information on how to retrieve the
serial number and obtain the code, visit
radio-navicode.honda.com .
Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the
power was interrupted, your system may
require GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.

System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth
of the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of the sky.
The GPS antenna is located in the
dashboard. The signal reception can easily
be interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devi ces mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for which the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the addres
s 1425 on a 1400
block with 100 possible addresses
(because it is followed by the 1500 block)
will be shown a quarter of the way down
the block by the system. If there are only
25 actual addresses on the block, the
actual location of address 1425 would be
at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.

System LimitationsDatabase
Reference Information
In addition, the map database contains
verified and unverified areas. Unverified
streets may be missing from the map, in
the wrong location, or have an incorrect
name or address range. A message will
warn you if your route includes unverified
streets. Exercise additional caution when
driving in unverified areas.
The database does not include, analyze,
process, 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
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions
Every effort has been ma de to verify that
the database is accurate. The number of
inaccuracies you expe rience increases the
longer you go without obtaining an
updated map database.
