• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (page 151)

• Troubleshooting Guide (page 159)

• Glossary of Terms (page 160)

• Voice Command List (page 163)

• Operation Specific to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico (page 149)

System Overview

Your navigation system is a highly sophisticated location system with voice control 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 (GPS), 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, longitude, and elevation of your vehicle. In addition, a gyroscopic yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor in your vehicle keep track of the direction and speed of travel at all times.

4 Navigation System

Introduction

2010 ZDX

The navigation system applies location, direction, and speed information to the maps and calculates a route to the destination you enter. As you drive to that destination, the system provides map and voice 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 destination by using the Interface Dial or voice control.

There are several ways to enter a destination, such as by point of interest (POI), by address, by phone number, and by selecting it from the map. The last 50 destinations are saved for reuse at a later date. The system also allows you to store a home address to simplify returning home from your destination.

Accessories Precautions

If you have front or side window tinting installed, be aware that if the tint has metallic properties, it can seriously degrade or prevent GPS reception. This is because the GPS antenna is located behind the navigation display in the center of the dashboard.

If you plan to install electronic components such as radar detectors, vehicle tracking devices, remote starters, additional amplifiers, or other audio components, ensure that they are not located near the navigation display in the center of the dashboard, or near the GPS antenna behind the navigation display. Signal noise emanating from these devices can cause intermittent disruption of the navigation system.

Important Safety Information

The navigation system can distract you r attention from the road if you focus on the screen or operate the system’s controls while driving.

Enter as much information as possible into the system before you begin driving, or when the vehicle is stopped. Then, as you drive, listen to the audio instructions and use voice commands when possible.

Navigation System 5

Introduction

2010 ZDX

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.

Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual.

While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely. Pull to the side of the road if you need more time to look at the screen or operate the controls.

The navigation system is designed to provide route information to help you reach your destination. However, this route guidance may sometimes conflict with current road conditions such as street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.

Additionally, the system itself has certain limitations (see page 129). 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.

Map Overview

Current Street

The current street on which your vehicle is located appears at the bottom of the map screen (see page 20). A message saying “Not on a digitized road” may appear instead when you drive half a mile away from a mapped road. For more details, see Off-road Tracking on page 71.

Verified/Unverified Street

Your navigation system has two kinds of streets: verified (red, gray, and pink) and unverified (purple). The differences between the two types of streets are contrasted in the chart on page 7.

Verified streets Unverified streets

These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities.

Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray (verified streets) on the daytime map screen.

The database vendor has verified these streets. Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used when creating your route to a destination.

While driving to your destination, the displayed route line is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance to your destination.

There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during a route. However, because roads constantly change, you are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted traffic restrictions.

Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a halfmile, make a right turn.”

The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.

Introduction

These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town.

Shown on the daytime map screen as purple.

These streets have not been verified by the database vendor. The system does not contain information on one-way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed. They are shown on the map for reference and may have errors in map location, naming, and address range.

Your route line is either a purple dotted “vector line,” or a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this option, and the routing differences, see Unverified Area Routing on page 106.

Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance, there are cautionary screens before and during the route urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffic restrictions. See Unverified Area Routing on page 106.

The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance instruction. For example: “In a half-mile, make a right turn, if possible.”

The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to a destination, is based on the average speed and distance for the roads used for your route.

Navigation System 13

Getting Started

2010 ZDX

Using the Voice Control System

You should use the voice control system as much as possible, and consider manual entry using the Interface Dial as a backup method.

Most of the system’s functions can be controlled by voice commands activated with the TALK button. To control the navigation system by voice:

• Press and release the TALK button. A pop-up voice icon ( ) will appear in the upper left corner of the screen.

• Wait for the beep.

• Give a voice command. (Voice commands that the system recognizes are highlighted.)

Once the microphone picks up your command, the system changes the display in response to the command and prompts you for the next command. Using the TALK button, answer the prompts as required.

If the system does not understand a command or you wait too long to give a command, it responds with “Pardon,” “Please repeat,” or “Would you say again.” If the system cannot perform a command or the command is not appropriate for the screen you are on, a beep will sound.

You can find out which voice commands are available for a particular screen by saying “Help.” The system will display and read the list of available commands to you. (When Help is grayed out, this feature cannot be used.)

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, hearing the feedback will familiarize you with the way the system expects commands to be phrased. See the Voice Recognition Feedback setting in SETUP.

If you hear a prompt such as “Please use the Interface Dial to...” or “Please choose an area with the Interface Dial,” the system is asking for input that cannot be performed using the voice control system.

Improving Voice Recognition

To achieve optimum voice recognition when using either the navigation or Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice control system, the following guidelines should be followed:

NOTE:

Make sure the correct screen is displayed for the voice command that you are using. See Voice Command

Index on page 163.

• It is best if the windows and moonroof are closed. If they are open, speak a little louder to overcome the wind noises.

14 Navigation System

Getting Started

2010 ZDX

• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.

• If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may misinterpret your command.

• After pressing and releasing the TALK button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command while the icon is displayed on the top left of the screen.

• Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without pausing between words.

• Try to reduce any background noise.

• If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice

Help on the INFO screen (Main Info.) or say “Help” while the

icon is displayed on the top left of the screen.

NOTE:

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

Selecting an Item (Button) on the Screen

On most screens, there are items that can be selected (like buttons with titles such as OK or Return). To select an item on any screen, do one of the following:

• Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost all selectable items on the screen, including some listed items, are recognized by the voice control system.

• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its

knob, then push in on the Interface Dial.

Tip:

If items are grayed out, this means that they cannot be selected.

Selecting an Item in a List

To scroll through a list, do one of the following:

• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to

scroll one item at a time.

• Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll down, say “Next” or “Down.”

If you cannot find the desired name, or have made an error, return to the previous screen by pressing the CANCEL or the BACK button on the steering wheel.

To select the desired item in the list, do one of the following:

• Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.

• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to move the highlighting to the item, then push in on the Interface Dial.

Navigation System 15

Getting Started

2010 ZDX

Entering Information

When the system needs input from you, the display changes to a screen similar to the one on the next page. You can then use the displayed letters, numbers, or symbols to enter information. You can enter your keyboard input in either of the following ways:

• Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are entering a city or street name.

• Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating the Interface Dial knob, then push in on the Interface Dial.

Each entered letter will appear at the top of the display. To enter a space between words, say “Space” or move the Interface Dial to the right. To delete an entry, say “Delete” or move the Interface Dial to the left.

If a letter has options (such as accent marks or symbols), they will appear in gray next to the selected letter on the upper row. Move the Interface Dial up to select OPTION, and use the Interface Dial knob to select the letter.

To enter symbols, rotate the Interface Dial Knob and select # or @, then move the Interface Dial up to select OPTION.

When entering an address, the system searches the database for words that match the letters you are entering. As a result, you will notice that some letters are no longer available.

When the system finds only one entry that matches, it completes the name entry for you. If the system finds more than one entry that matches your input, a list of these matches is displayed.

Tip:

When entering a name of a city, street, or place, or if you are unsure of the spelling of the name, enter the letters that you are sure of, then move the Interface Dial down to select LIST. The system will display a list of names that most closely match your input. For each letter that is entered, the number of corresponding choices is displayed on the right-hand side.

AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™

The navigation screen can display continuously updated traffic information when available, including flow (traffic speed), accidents, and construction on freeways in major metro areas.

The display of traffic flow and incidents on the map screen is optional and can be turned On/Off by selecting the “Traffic” icon on the Icon bar (see Showing Icons on the Map on page 62).

The current metropolitan areas that have traffic coverage can be seen on page 148. For more current metro coverage information, go to www.acura.com/realtimetraffic. This link offers the following:

• The latest list of metro areas that have AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic coverage

• Detailed coverage information for each metro area showing what roads have traffic speed, traffic icons, or both

• An AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic demonstration

• Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

NOTE:

• AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic relies on a satellite signal. It will not work in Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

• AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic is only available if you have a current traffic subscription with XM®. See page 124.

Traffic Status Indicator

You can confirm the reception status of traffic information (traffic flow and incidents). The “TRF” icon indicates the following status:

Icon Status

Traffic speeds and incidents available.

Traffic speeds or incidents not available.

Traffic speeds and incidents not available.

•Traffic display turned off.

•Traffic not displayed on this map scale.

Missing

No traffic information available (Out of coverage area).

NOTE:

• Traffic information can be turned on or off. See Showing Icons on the Map on page 62.

• Traffic information can be displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or less map scale.

2010 ZDX

Viewing Flow Data

Traffic flow data is displayed as colored bands on either side of the freeway (see Traffic Display Legend on page 22). The different colored bands represent the average road speeds as determined by under-road sensors and other probes.

While driving to your destination on a road that has traffic flow data, your route line color is used to display the traffic flow data. This means that when the map scale is set to one of the traffic scales (1/20 through 5 mile scale), your blue route line may appear as alternating orange, red, or green segments (see Traffic Display Legend on page 22).

NOTE:

A blue route line segment on a freeway can mean one of two things:

• Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell phone probes, and other methods used to collect traffic speed information indicate free-flow traffic.

• The road has no sensors, and traffic conditions are unknown (they could be congested).

Naturally, only roads with these sensors will show traffic information. The amount of flow data varies considerably from one city to another. This map display is refreshed continuously. You can only view traffic information in the city where you are located.

NOTE:

• Traffic flow and incident icons are displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or less map scale.

• Not all freeways within a metropolitan area have traffic flow data (colored bands on the side of the freeways) - this is normal, and you cannot assume that a lack of data implies no traffic.

• Not all cities have traffic flow information. See cities listed on page 148.

• Due to freeway maintenance and construction, traffic flow may be available only for one side of a road, or be missing entirely for some portion of the freeway.

• The displayed traffic flow may conflict with other audio- or Internetbased traffic information.

• If traffic flow is not showing, verify that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon options for traffic are both ON (see page 62).

Viewing Incident Reports

Incident reports appear as small diamond- or circle-shaped icons (see Traffic Display Legend on page 22 for examples). There are four ways to view traffic incidents:

• By voice control, say “Display traffic incidents.”

• Select Traffic Incidents from the Map menu.

• Select Traffic Incidents on the INFO screen (Main Info.).

• Select an incident icon from the map screen.

NOTE:

The first method is recommended because it works on any scale and requires the minimum input.

Listing Traffic Incidents by Voice Control

From the map screen (any scale), say “Display traffic incidents” or “Display traffic list.” The Traffic list screen will be displayed, which includes the “All” and “On Route” tabs.

When you select the “All” tab, a list of all incidents within the metro traffic area will be displayed. When you select the “On Route” tab, a list of all incidents on the current route will be displayed.

Incidents are listed by distance from your current position outward in all directions.

To view incident details, say the number of the incident you want to select. A map showing the location of the incident will be displayed, and the message will be read to you.

NOTE:

The “On Route” tab can be selected only when you are en route.

Listing Traffic Incidents from the INFO Screen or Map Menu

Select Traffic Incidents from the

INFO screen (Main Info.) or Map menu. The Traffic list screen will be

displayed.

No Traffic Incidents

If you say “Display traffic incidents” or select Traffic Incidents, but there are no incidents, the following screen will be displayed.

Selecting an Incident Icon from the Map Screen

Zoom in or out so that you are between the 1/20 and 5 mile scales. (The map must be on the 1/20 to 5 mile scales to view the incident icons). To view the details of a specific incident, use the Interface Dial to position the cursor (round red circle) over the incident icon you are interested in. Push in on the Interface Dial and select Traffic to view a pop-up box summary describing the incident.

To see the incident details, push in on the Interface Dial. To return to your current position map screen, say or select Return. To continue viewing incidents in your “scrolled to” location, press the CANCEL button.

NOTE:

• Incident reports may be displayed on roads that have no traffic flow data available.

• Freeway incident reports can lag behind the actual incident, or remain displayed after an incident has cleared. This is normal, and is dependent on the reporting agency and the speed at which the data is updated.

• The displayed incidents may conflict with other audio- or Internet-based traffic information.
