Introduction
Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored)
When
displayed These roads are found within
metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads
connecting cities. These roads are found in rura
l areas, and typically include
residential streets away fr om the center of a town.
Street color Shown on daytime
map screen as black or red, such as
interstate freeways. Shown on the daytime
map screen as light brown.
Map quality The database vendor has verified these streets.
Information like turn rest
rictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way str eet have been gathered and
used when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verifi
ed by the database vendor. The
system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn
restrictions, or the road’s aver age speed. They are shown on the
map for reference and may have errors in map location, naming,
and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destination, the displayed route
line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map
guidance to your destination. Your route line is either a blue
dotted “vector line,” or a dashed
pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the
routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 87.
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change,
you are urged to use common sense, and always obey
posted traffic restrictions. Regardless of whether the user ch
ooses route guidance, there are
cautionary screens before and durin g the route urging the user to
be extra cautious, and obey a ll traffic restrictions. See Unverified
Area Routing on page 87.
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instruc
tions such as “In a half-
mile, make a right turn.” The phrase “if possible” is adde
d to each guidance instruction.
For example: “In a half-mile, ma ke a right turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en
route to a destination, is
based on the average speed
and distance for the road s used for your route. Because the average speed of thes
e roads is not known, the time
and distance “to go” is based on a fixed average speed of 25 mph
for these roads.

Navigation System
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC850
Getting StartedVoice Control BasicsYour vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. 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.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK buttonThis button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a vo ice command. See
Voice Command Index on page 138 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK buttonThis button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display 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 or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivat ed while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink ® feature.
See your Owner’s Manual and the
official website
(handsfreelink.honda.com) for
information on this system.

Navigation System13
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC850
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control SystemYou 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 RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the fo llowing guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 138.
 Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.

 Initial route calculation ( Calculate
route to screen) (see page 47).
 Change the route while en route (see page 65).
 Resume the route when restarting the engine (see Continue Trip Screen on
page 70).
Calculate Route to ScreenSay or select OK. The system calculates
the route using the method shown on the
screen (see Map Screen on page 50).
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 91.
 For information on the available
voice commands, see Voice
Command Index on page 138. Further selections from the
Calculate
route to screen include:
ADD TO Address BookAllows you to add the destination to
your Address Book. See By Address
Book on page 45.
NOTE:
If the button is grayed out, the
destination is already in your Address
Book.ADD TO Today’s DestinationsAllows you to add the destination to
your Today’s Destinations list. See By
Today’s Destinations on page 43.
NOTE:
If the button is grayed out, the Today’s
Destinations list is already full (five

NOTE:
 You may only view routes as shown above from the Calculate route to
screen.
 The selected route method is shown at the top of the screen.  It may take several minutes (the
system displays an hourglass while it
is calculating) to show all route
methods, and it is not unusual for the
different methods to pick the same
route. Voice commands cannot be
used while the system is calculating.
 If the trip is greater than 100 miles, then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.
Say or select Summary to display the
distance and time to go for each route.
Based on the route data, you can change
the routing by using the Next and Prev .
buttons. Once you confirm your
selection, say or select OK on the
screen.
NOTE:
Distances and times shown for each
method in the Summary are
approximate. After calculating the route with the new
method, the system displays a map of
your current location. The calculated
route will be highlighted as a blue line,
and a voice prompt will tell you how to
proceed along the highlighted route.
