Introduction
Your Acura Navigation System is a
highly-sophisticated location system
that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are
and to help guide you to a desired
destination.
The Navigation System receives
signals from the Global Positioning
System, a network of 24 satellites in
orbit around the earth. By receiving
signals from several of these
satellites, the Navigation System can
determine the latitude and longitude
of your vehicle.
In addition, a gyroscopic sensor and
a speed sensor in your vehicle keep
track of the direction and speed of
travel at all times.
The Navigation System applies this
location, direction, and speed
information to the maps and calcu-
lates a route to the destination you
enter. As you drive to that
destination, the System provides
guidance.
The Navigation System is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are
already entered in the system. You
can select any of them as a desti-
nation by pressing only one or two of
the controls.
If a desired destination is not in the
system's database, you can enter its
address and the system will direct
you to it. This destination can be
saved for reuse at a later date.
As you drive, the Navigation System
provides visual and audio driving
instructions so you do not have to
take your eyes off the road. These
instructions are provided in advance
of the actual driving maneuver so
you have time to slow down and
change lanes if necessary.
Read this manual thoroughly so you
are familiar with all the Navigation
System's features. Afterwards, keep
this manual in the glove box of your
vehicle so you can refer to at any
time.
Navigation System
Introduction
Important Safety Information
The Navigation System can distract
your attention from the road if you
focus on the screen or operate the
system's controls while driving.
You should always enter information
into the system before you begin
driving. Then, as you drive, you can
listen to the audio instructions or
glance at the screen.
The Navigation System is designed
to provide route information to help
you reach your destination. However,
this route guidance may sometimes
conflict with road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
and detours.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page 51).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information
provided by the system by carefully
observing the roadway, signs and
signals, etc. If you are unsure,
proceed with caution. Always use
your own good judgment, and obey
traffic laws while driving.
Navigation System
Operating the Navigation
System controls while you are
driving can take your attention
away from the road, causing a
crash in which you could be
seriously injured or killed.
Enter information into the
system only when your vehicle
is stopped.
System Controls
Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. In addition,
the display is a "touch screen" — you
can enter information into the
system by touching images on the
screen with your finger. For example,
when you need to enter a street
name, a keyboard will be displayed.
You can "type in" the street name by
touching the individual characters on
the screen.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp
cloth. You may use a mild cleaner
intended for eyeglasses or computer
screens. Harsher chemicals may
damage the screen.
ZOOM buttons
When you are displaying a map,
these buttons allow you to change
the scale. ZOOM IN reduces the
scale, showing less area with greater
detail. ZOOM OUT increases the
scale, showing more area with less
detail. Refer to page 35 .
SET UP button
Pressing this button displays a menu
of system options. See page 37 .
MAP/GUIDE button
Pressing this button switches the
display between a map and the
current route information. See page
35 .
MENU button
Pressing this button changes the
display from the current instructions
to a menu.
CANCEL button
Pressing this button cancels the
current display and returns to the
previous screen display.
ENTER button
Press this button to get the system
to accept a selection.
BRIGHTNESS control
Slide this knob back and forth to
change the brightness of the screen
display. The brightness can also be
adjusted in the "Set-up" menu, and
will change when your turn the
headlights on and off. See page 37 .
Navigation System
System Controls
JOYSTICK
The joystick moves left, right, up,
and down. Use the joystick to move
the highlighting around the display,
to scroll through a list, or to look
around a displayed map. After
making a selection in a menu or list,
push in on the joystick to enter the
selection into the system.
In almost all cases, you can enter a
selection into the system by pressing
the ENTER button, by pushing on
the joystick, or by touching the
appropriate image on the screen.
Navigation System
System Start-up
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), it takes several seconds
before the Navigation System turns
on the display.
The first display is the Acura
Navigation System Logo. This
remains for several seconds, then
changes to display the disclaimer
shown on the right. Read this
disclaimer carefully so you under-
stand it.
To use the system, either press the
Enter button, push in on the Joystick,
or touch the "OK" box on the screen.
The Main Menu will come on the
display.
If you do not press either of those
buttons or touch "OK", the screen
will go dark after 30 seconds. If you
are not planning to use the Navi-
gation System at this time, touch the
SHUT DOWN box on the display. To
return to the disclaimer, press any
button.
If you leave the ignition switch in
Accessory (I) or ON (II) without
starting the engine, and do not
perform any operations on the
system, it will automatically turn off
after five minutes.
If you are entering information into
the system, it will not turn off in five
minutes. This allows you to enter in a
destination before starting the
engine and driving away.
Navigation System
Main Menu
The Main Menu gives you five
different ways to enter a desired
destination.
Address
This option requires you to enter the
city, and the address in that city that
you want to go to. See page 9 for
detailed instructions.
Intersection
This option allows you to enter the
names of two streets in a city. The
system will guide you to the inter-
section of those two streets. This is
useful if you know the general
location of your destination, but not
the exact address. See page 13 .
Places
The system has been programmed
with the locations of many busi-
nesses, parks, hospitals, etc. This
option lets you scan these, by
category, and select the one you
want as your destination. See page
19 for complete information.
Previous Destination
When you enter a destination with
any of the other options, it is saved
by the system. Use this option to
select it again. See page 25 .
Navigation System
Main Menu, Selecting By Address
Map Input
This option allows you to point to a
destination on a displayed map. The
system will then guide you to that
point. See page 26 .
To select one of the five options, do
either of the following.
Use the joystick to move the
highlighting to the desired option,
then push in on the joystick or
press the Enter button.
Touch the desired option on the

joystick or press the Enter button.
Touch the Address box on the
screen with your finger.
After you select the option, the
display changes to:
If you select the "City" option first,
you can enter the name of the city
that is your destination. If you select
the "Street" option first, the system
will list all cities that contain the
street name that you enter. This may
be helpful if the street runs through
several cities, and you are not sure of
the exact one your destination is in.
Select either the "City" or "Street"
option by touching the box on the
screen, or by using the joystick to
move the highlighting to the desired
option, then pushing in on the
joystick or pressing the Enter button.
Navigation System
Selecting By Address
Selecting the City
When you select the City option, the
display changes to:
The name of your current location is

an "outlying area". See "Selecting By
Places" on page 19.
The display changes to:
The city selected by the system, or
the city you entered, is at the top of
the list. To scroll through this list
city by city, push the joystick up or
down. To scroll up or down a screen
at a time, use the Zoom In or Zoom
Out buttons, or touch one of the
triangles in the upper right corner of
the screen. When you find the

town you are interested in. The
system will then calculate a route to
that destination. It will guide you to
the center of that city or town; you
may then have to ask someone for
directions to your specific desti-
nation.
In outlying areas, only major federal,
state, and country roads are included
