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.

Page 6

Introduction

Navigation System

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 aftermarket 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 ampliﬁ ers, 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 your 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.

Page 7

Introduction

6 Navigation System

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.

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 conﬂ ict 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 131 ). 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 trafﬁ c 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 “No t o n a di gi tized road” may appear instead when you drive half a mile awa y from a mapped road. F or more details, see O f f - r o a d Tr a c k i n g on page 72 .

Veriﬁ ed/ Unveriﬁ ed Street

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

Verified street

Unverified street

Page 8

Introduction

Navigation System

Ve r i ﬁ ed streets Unveriﬁ ed streets When

displayed

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

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

Street color

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

Shown on the daytime map screen as purple.

Map quality

The database vendor has veriﬁ ed 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.

These streets have not been veriﬁ ed by the database vendor. The system does not contain information on oneway 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.

Routing differences

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

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 Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing on page 108 .

Cautions

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 trafﬁ c restrictions.

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 trafﬁ c restrictions. See Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing on page 108 .

Guidance voice

Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-mile, make a right turn.”

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

Time and distance “to go”

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.

Page 15

Getting Started

14 Navigation System

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 your navigation system by voice:

• Press and release the TALK button on the map screen. A voice recognition screen will be displayed. Or press and release the TALK button on a screen other than the map screen. A popup 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, on the Voice Recognition Example Commands screen, it responds with “Pardon? No command was heard. Please press the TALK button and say a command. To return to the previous screen, press the BACK button.” On any other screen, it responds with “Pardon? No command was heard. Please press the TALK button and say a command.” 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 ﬁ nd 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 speak a command, the system generally either repeats the command as a conﬁ rmation 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 Tutor setting in SET UP.

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 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 167 .

• It is best if the windows and sunroof

are closed. If they are open, speak a little louder to overcome the wind noises.

Page 16

Getting Started

Navigation System

• The fan speed automatically lowers

when the TALK button is pressed. Adjust the airﬂ ow from both 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.

• 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

Info on the INFO screen (Main Info).

NOTE:

The voice control system can only be used from the driver’s position. The microphone does not recognize voice commands from anywhere else in the vehicle.

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 ﬁ nd the desired name, or have made an error, return to the previous screen by pressing the CANCEL or the BACK button.

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.

16 Navigation System

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 ﬁ nds only one entry that matches, it completes the name entry for you. If the system ﬁ nds 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 Trafﬁ c

™

The navigation screen can display continuously updated trafﬁ c information when available, including ﬂ ow (t ra fﬁ c speed), incidents, and construction on freeways in major metro areas.

The display of trafﬁ c ﬂ ow and incidents on your map screen is optional and can be turned On/Off by selecting the “Trafﬁ c” icon on the Icon bar (see Showing Icons on the Map on page 63 ).

The current metropolitan areas that have trafﬁ c coverage can be seen on page 150 . For more current metro coverage information, go to www.ac u ra.co m/realt imetra fﬁ c. This link offers the following:

• The latest list of metro areas that have AcuraLink Real-Time Trafﬁ c cove rage

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

• An AcuraLink Real-Time Trafﬁ c demonstration

• Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

NOTE:

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

• AcuraLink Real-Time Trafﬁ c is only available if you have a current trafﬁ c subscription with XM

Trafﬁ c Status Indicator

You can conﬁ rm the reception status of trafﬁ c information (trafﬁ c ﬂ ow and incidents). The “TRF” icon indicates the following status:

24 Navigation System

Viewing Flow Data

Trafﬁ c ﬂ ow data is displayed as colored bands on either side of the freeway (see Trafﬁ c 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 trafﬁ c ﬂ ow data, your route line color is used to display the trafﬁ c ﬂ ow data. This means that when the map scale is set to one of the trafﬁ c scales (1/20 through 5 mile scale), your blue route line may appear as alternating orange, red, or green segments (see Trafﬁ c 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 trafﬁ c speed information indicate free-ﬂ ow traf ﬁ c.

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

Naturally, only roads with these sensors will show trafﬁ c information. The amount of ﬂ ow data varies considerably from one city to another. This map display is refreshed continuously. You can only view trafﬁ c information from within 200 miles of the vehicle’s location.

NOTE:

• Trafﬁ c ﬂ ow and incident icons are displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or less map scale.

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

• Not all cities have trafﬁ c ﬂ ow information. See cities listed on page 150 .

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

• The displayed trafﬁ c ﬂ ow may conﬂ ict with other audio- or Internetbased trafﬁ c information.

• If trafﬁ c ﬂ ow is not showing, verify that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon options for trafﬁ c are both ON (see page 63 ).

Viewing Incident Reports

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

• By voice control, say “Display trafﬁ c incidents.”

• Select “Trafﬁ c Incidents” from the Map menu.

• Select “Trafﬁ c Incidents” on the INFO screen (Main Info).

• Select an incident icon from the map screen.

NOTE:

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

Control

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

When you select the “All” tab, a list of all incidents within 200 miles from the vehicle’s location will be displayed. When you select the “On Route” tab, a list of all incidents on the current route within 200 miles from the vehicle’s location 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.

No Trafﬁ c Incidents

If you say “Display trafﬁ c incidents” or select Trafﬁ c Incidents, but there are no incidents within less than 200 miles from the vehicle’s location, 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 speciﬁ c 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 “Trafﬁ c” 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, press the MAP/GU IDE button. To continue viewing incidents in your “scrolled to” location, press the CANCEL button.

NOTE:

• Incident reports can only be selected between the 1/20 to 5 mile scales.

• Incident reports may be displayed on roads that have no trafﬁ c ﬂ ow 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 conﬂ ict with other audio- or Internet-based trafﬁ c information .

After you have selected the city, or if you selected Street in the beginning, the display changes to the Enter street name screen. Use the Interface Dial to enter the name of the street (e.g., ELM or 42ND) that is your destination.

When entering the names of major freeways, it is possible to use the following abbreviations. For interstates, use an “I” (I-10). For U.S. freeways, use “US” (US-18). For state freeways, use the two character state designation (CA-101). For county roads, use the appropriate designation (G-2, for example).

Tip:

When entering a street, you do not need to enter the direction (N, S, E, W) or the type (St, Ave, etc.). The system will automatically determine that for you, based on your entered city and street number.

The system will display a list of street names, with the closest match to the name you entered at the top of the list. Select the number (1-6) of the desired street from the list.

Entering the Street Number

After you have completed the street name, the display changes to the Enter street number screen. Use the voice control system and say the address number as a continuous string of numbers. For example, the address 1527 should be spoken as “One, ﬁ ve, two, seven.” You can also use the Interface Dial to enter the street number.

Some address numbers may not be available on the selected street. For example, let’s say the individual address ranges for a selected street name are 1 - 20 and 9,000 - 10,000, with an overall range shown on the display of 1 to 10,000. If you try to enter a number outside the individual address ranges such as 500, the system will show this number as unavailable (grayed out).

• When using the Interface Dial, the system only allows you to choose available address numbers.

• When using voice control, the system beeps if you try to select an unavailable (grayed out) address number.

Destination Icon

The destination icon only shows the approximate location of the destination. This occurs because a city block can have as many as 100 possible addresses (for example, the 1400 block is followed by the 1500 block.) Since most cities use only a portion of the 100 possible addresses (for example, in the 1400 block, the addresses may only go up to 1425 before the 1500 block starts). Therefore, the address 1425 will be shown a quarter of the way down the block by the system instead of near the end of the block where the destination is actually located.

Tip:

When en route, you can view a map showing your destination. Using voice control, say “Display destination map.”

Going Off the Route

If you leave the calculated route, “Recalculating...” is displayed at the top of the screen. The system will recalculate the route from your current location and direction to the desired destination then give you a new route instruction. This is done automatically if you have set Rerouting to AUTOMATIC on the SET UP screen (Other) (see page 63 ).

If the Rerouting option in SET UP is set to MANUAL, “Off route” appears at the top of the screen when you leave the calculated route. Say “Recalculate,” or select Recalculation whenever you want the system to perform a recalculation.

Off-road Tracking

If you drive away from a mapped road, “Not on a digitized road” appears at the bottom of the screen.

The map screen starts displaying a series of dots ( breadcrumbs) to show the path you have taken if Off-road Tracking on the SET UP screen (Other) is set to ON (see page 117 ).

By following the dots, you can backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. “Breadcrumbs” may occasionally be displayed in urban areas, such as large parking lots in shopping malls, or in new subdivisions where the roads are not yet in the database. In other cases, you may see dots if the system temporarily goes off route, like in a parking garage where the GPS signal is unavailable. These dots appear only in the 1/20, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 mile (or 80, 200, 400, and 800 meter) map scales. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to change scales if necessary.

Off-road tracking continues for approximately 150 miles; dots at the beginning of the trail will start disappearing when you exceed that distance. When you reach a mapped road, the system stops displaying dots.

Viewing/ Saving the Current Location

Whenever you are on a map screen, you can always obtain your current location either by pushing in on the

by using the voice control system and saying “Display current location.” A screen pops up which shows the address of your current location, as well as the latitude, longitude, and elevation.

NOTE:

You can store the current location for later use. It does not change or cancel your current route.

For example, you are following the system’s directions to get to a destination. While sitting at a stoplight you notice a store on the corner, but do not have time to visit it right now. You can save the location to select as a destination at a later date.

To save the location, say “Save current location” or select Save on the Current

location screen. The Edit address book screen with the current location

data will appear. You can edit the name, phone number, or category name to be saved in your personal Address Book.

Select Return and you will be returned to the Map Information screen. You can then use Address Book from the DE ST screen (Dest. MENU 1) to select the saved location, and return to the same spot.

Pop-ups and Disclaimers

When you say “OK” in the Calculate Route to screen, or if you change your

route, the system checks your route and provides you with pop-up messages for the following situations:

• Your route takes you into an area that you previously set as an “Avoid Area” (see Edit Avoid Area on page 112 ).

• You actually entered an unveriﬁ ed area (see Unveriﬁ ed Area Routing on page 108 ).

Trafﬁ c Rerouting

When driving en route to your destination with Trafﬁ c Rerouting is ON, the system can ﬁ nd a faster route based on trafﬁ c ﬂ ow information or detect a Road Closed incident and ﬁ nd a detour route. In either case, the system automatically recalculates and displays a pop-up box to signify that the route has changed.

You can also calculate the detour route manually by choosing to avoid speciﬁ c incidents and/or congestion on your route. Say “Display trafﬁ c incidents” or “Display trafﬁ c list,” and select the “On Route” tab on the Trafﬁ c Incidents screen.

Select an incident from the list, and push in on the Interface Dial twice. The system will display the con

When you say or select Avoid, the display returns to the list screen. When you move the Interface Dial down on the list screen to select Reroute, the system recalculates a detour route avoiding the road. You can choose to avoid up to 10 trafﬁ c incidents.

NOTE:

• When you select the “All” tab, Avoid is not displayed.

• To activate this function, you need to set Trafﬁ c Rerouting to ON in the Routing & Guidance settings (see page 112 ).

• Because the criterion for whether the trafﬁ c event is to be detoured or not is included in the trafﬁ c event data itself, the trafﬁ c rerouting is not performed for all the trafﬁ c incidents ahead on the route.

• Even when the route recalculation is performed for a trafﬁ c event, if the system cannot ﬁ nd any detour route or a quicker detour route, the event location is not always avoided.

• Trafﬁ c rerouting is available only if you have a current trafﬁ c/weather subscription with XM. See page 126 .

Changing the Route

While en route, you may wish to alter your route, add an interim “Waypoint” (pit stop), choose a different destination, or cancel your current destination. To change your present route, you can do any of the following:
