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

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

apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
1. Press the INFO button. Select Setup > Personal Information to display the types
of information.

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 button. Select Setup > Other > Color > Map Color . Set the Night
color to Black for the best contrast. 2 Switching Display Mode Manually

Traffic
Problem
Solution
My FM Traffic is missing or is not displaying properly.
What is wrong?
Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal. If signal strength is low, traffic data may not
be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon op tions for traffic. 2Showing Icons on the Map
P. 106
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan
area traffic. You can call Honda Automobile Customer Service to see if there is an
outrage.

• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.
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.

Guidance, Routing
Problem
Solution
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

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage
P. 237
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

The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I
got to my destination.
Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Area Routing
P. 51
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 un aware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2 GPS System

Problem
Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really
cold weather.
This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem
Solution

the screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera image.
The rear camera image is t oo dark or too bright. How
do I adjust the brightness?
While the camera image is disp layed, rotate the Interface Dial to adjust the brightness.
This adjustment does not affect the navigation screen brightness settings.
