The information and specifications included in this publication were in effect at the time of approval for printing. Honda Motor Co., Ltd., reserves the right, however, to discontinue or change specifications or design at any time without notice and without incurring any obligation.

Accessories Precautions

The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard. Metallic front or side window tinting can seriously degrade or obstruct GPS reception.

Signal noise from devices such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, and additional amplifiers can disrupt the navigation system. If you install any such item, install it away from the navigation display and antenna.

Important Safety Information

WARNING

Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed.

Only operate system controls when the conditions permit you to safely do so.

Avoid focusing on the screen or manually operating the system controls while driving.

Enter information before you begin driving or when stopped. As you drive, listen to the audible instructions and use voice commands when possible. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.

Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.

The system itself may also have limitations. Verify route information by carefully observing roads, signs, and signals. Always use your own judgment and obey traffic laws.

System Limitations P. 230

NOTICE

This vehicle’s navigation display, if so equipped, includes mercury-containing components. Upon removal, please reuse, recycle, or dispose of as hazardous waste.

Troubleshooting For more Information (P215)

Quick Reference Guide

Why does the vehicle position icon on the map “lag” a short distance behind my actual position, especially at intersections?

This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.

Why does the “time to destination” display sometimes increase even though I am getting closer to my destination?

The “time to destination” is based on your actual road speed and traffic conditions to give you a better estimate of arrival time.

Why does my clock frequently change the time forward and backward by one hour?

The clock setting is automatically updated based on your GPS location. If you normally drive between two time zones, the clock may keep adjusting the time. You can turn this feature off.

Clock Adjustment P. 57

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.

How do I turn on the navigation system voice guidance?

1. Press the INFO button. Rotate i to select Set up and press u. Check that Volume is not set to OFF.

2. Move y to select Other, rotate i to select Basic Settings, and press u. Set Voice Recognition Tutor

to ON if you want the system to provide confirmations and system prompts.

My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find it?

In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Simply press and hold the VOL 9 (Volume/Power) button for two seconds; the system should reactivate.

When you press the d (Talk) button, a helpful prompt asks what you would like to do. Press and release the d (Talk) button again to bypass this prompt and give a command.

1 Command Input

The audio system is muted while using the voice control system.

Your 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, and make and receive phone calls using Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®.

The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and K (Back) buttons on the steering wheel and a microphone near the map lights on the ceiling.

A “Voice Info” feature provides a tutorial that explains how to use the voice control system.

2 Voice Help P. 5

Command Input

If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, the system asks you to repeat the command.

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, listening to the feedback will help familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased.

2 Basic Settings P. 26

If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, the system beeps.

On character input screens, a list of possible characters is displayed if the system does not recognize your command.

You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen using the d Help command. The system will display and read the list of available commands to you.

System Setup

1 Voice Recognition

The voice control system can only be used from the driver’s seat because the microphone unit removes noises from the front passenger’s side.

Voice Recognition

To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation voice control system or Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®:

• Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using.

2 Voice Commands P. 242

• Close the windows and moonroof.

• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow onto the microphone on

the ceiling.

• Speak clearly in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.

• Reduce any background noise if possible. The system may misinterpret your

command if more than one person is speaking at the same time.
