System Setup
With Unverified Area Routing Off,
you are presented with a blue “vector
line” that always points to the
destination. You must manually choose
streets from the map that will lead to
your destination. No guidance is
provided, and there are no directions to
the destination.
With Unverified Area Routing On ,
a blue/pink route line is shown for
unverified segments. Voice guidance
commands in unverified areas always
end with “if possible.” This is your
signal that you should use additional
caution, and obey all traffic restrictions.
The maneuver window “arrow” shows
any portions of unverified turns in blue/
pink dashes.
These guidance maneuvers are only a
suggestion. You should always confirm
that the maneuver is possible. A
direction list is also provided that shows
any unverified roads in a blue color,
with pink arrows pointing to the next
maneuver. Unverified Area Routing “Off”
NOTE:
There are no
Voice or Directions
buttons shown on the screen. With
Unverified Area Ro uting “Off,” no
Direction List is provided. Unverified Area Routing “On”

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.

Navigation System133
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell phones, or loose items). If the dashboard
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.

Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted.
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page 109).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see page 109). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unformatted). Please consult your
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure
you are using a navigation DVD (white
-colored label). The system cannot
read other mapping databases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see
your dealer.
Display temp is too high. System will shut down until display
cools down. This message will appear briefly when the display temperature is too high,
and then the display will turn off
until the temperature cools down. The
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take awhile to start
up. The temperature is below -22°F and the navigation system has difficulty
reading the DVD. The system will st
art up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition cannot be activated
when another unit is using the audio system. Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink® can override the navigation system. Make
sure the HFL TALK button is not on when you press the NAVI TALK
button, or the message will appear. Simply press the HFL BACK button to
resume control of the navigation voice buttons.

accurately position the vehicle on the
map.
GPS Antenna - Located under the
dashboard. Electronic items operating
in this general lo cation can interfere
with the GPS signal.
HFL - Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink®.
Your vehicle is equipped with this
feature, which uses Bluetooth
technology as a wireless link between
the vehicle and your Bluetooth-
compatible cell phone.
Icon - Symbol representing Points of
Interest (POI) that can be displayed
