This document may not contain hyperlinks and may be formatted for printing instead of
web use. This is due to changes in content and specifications of the vehicle that happen
throughout the model year. This manual will be replaced with a hyperlinked version at the
end of the model year.
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Route guidance may conflict with street closures, road construction, detours, and out-of-date map data.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.

TroubleshootingFor more Information(P119)
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.
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 SETTINGS button. Rotate i to select System
Settings and press u. Check that Volume is not set to
Off.
2. Move w or y to select Voice Rec. Set Voice Prompt
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 PWR 9 (Power) button for two
seconds; the system should reactivate.

Your vehicle has a voice control system that allows hands-free operation of most of
the navigation system functions.
The voice control system uses the d (Talk) and J (Hang-Up/Back) buttons on

2 Getting Started Tutorial P. 13
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.
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
