System Setup
Rearview Camera
Your vehicle is equipped with a
rearview camera as shown in the
illustration.
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with
the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position, the rear view is shown on the
navigation screen. For the best image,
always keep the rearview camera lens
clean, and be sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area
is limited, you should always back up
slowly and carefully, and look behind
you for obstacles.NOTE:
• The rearview camera has a special
lens that makes distances appear
closer than they actually are.
• The rearview camera display has a
limited range, and the size and
position of objects around the area
may appear differe nt from reality.
Make sure to check the surrounding
area carefully.
Rearview Camera Brightness
Adjustment
When the vehicle is in reverse, the touch
screen and navigation “hard” buttons
are locked out, except the ZOOM
buttons. Touching the “ ▼” or “ ▲”
button allows you to adjust the
brightness of the rearview camera
image. This brightness adjustment is
independent of the screen brightness
adjustment in Setup.
NOTE:
• The camera brightness cannot be adjusted by voice control.
• Slight delays can occur when switching to the camera image, or
switching back to the map/menu
screen. This is normal.

System Limitations
The destination icon shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Since most cities
use only a portion of the 100 possible
addresses (for example, in the 1400
block, the addresses may only go up to
1425 before the 1500 block starts), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the globe
screen. A reboot can be caused by a
number of things, such as extreme
temperatures or shock from bumpy
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a
problem that requires service. If this
happens frequently, please see your
dealer.

Coverage Areas

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio 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.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
• Unverified road descriptions (see page 6 and 87).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 64). • Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 87).
• When zooming in and out, there is no 350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage se ction for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 110).
• Freeway Exit information does not exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
• It is not possible to enter U.S.
mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
• Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only.
• 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.
• If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the Setup screen is set to normal or
maximum, street names will not be
spoken in voice guidance commands.
Setup Screen Differences
The Setup screen differences are minor
and are listed below. See the Setup
section (page 77) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight Saving
Time , Auto Time Zone by GPS , and
DST Selection will not be shown on
the Clock adjustment screen. To test
your adjustment, use the voice control
system, and say “What time is it?” (see
page 97).
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® feature,
you may see a “Phone-Data
Connection” screen. If so, do not
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
• If you wish to receive XM audio you
must call XM and set up an account
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
• If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
• The issues under “Operation in Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this? The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 48.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 108 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. For best reception, remove items from the
dashboard, such as radar detector s, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 103.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this? Your route has entered an
unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See
Map Scale on page 56.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even th ough I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual speed to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on th e map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an in
tersection, the system is un aware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 103.

Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when st arting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
The screen does not close completely. Why is this? • Ensure that it is not during inserting/ejecting a CD. The screen cannot be
closed if a CD is not completely inserted in the unit.
• Ensure that it is not during inserti ng/ejecting the DVD. The screen cannot
be closed if the DVD is not completely inserted in the unit.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifti ng into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the na vigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too da rk or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, us
e the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to
adjust the brightness. This adjustme nt does not affect the Setup screen
brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set based on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 98.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only approximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page 98.
Frequently Asked Questions

132Navigation System
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Frequently Asked Questions
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn
off this feature?You can turn off this feature. See page 97.
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Setup shows Auto Daylight
Saving Time is On . Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page 97.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the Clock adjustment
screen in Setup and ensure that Auto
Daylight Saving Time is On.
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page 97.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. What can cause this? 1) You may be driving near a time zone boundary (see
Auto Time Zone by
GPS on page 98).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight
saving time. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On on the Clock
adjustment screen in Setup, and ensure that the correct month switching
schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page 97
for more information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should be a card in the glove
box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio system. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it, your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available for the navigation system? This is being considered as a future enhancement.
