PC Card FAQs
QuestionAnswer
23-317
Wheredowebuytheflashmemoryor
adaptors, and what do we ask for?You need a PCMCIA type II adaptor and a flash memory chip. You can
purchase them at a computer, or office supply store. The card is the
same size and shape as the PC card in the HDS. Adaptors that accept
multiple flash types are not recommended.
What memory flash chips will work
with what adaptors? The flash memory devices that have been tested include Compact Flash
(CF), and ATA style (like the card in the HDS). Other card types and flash
memory chips may work, but have not been tested.
What capacity card do I need for this
function? A memory chip with capacity of 64 MB to 2 GB will work. The two files
moved to the PC card during export are less than a Megabyte in size.
Should the dealer have a dedicated PC
card for the Export and Import
navigation function? Yes, treat the PC card as a dedicated special tool that you can use any
time you need to transfer the navigation personal files to a new
navigation unit or ’09 and later vehicles.
What device can I use to maintain the
PC card, and delete files? Any computer store sells USB style card readers that accept the PC card,
and allow you to do file maintenance on your PC card. Most laptops will
also accept the PC card.
Can we move the client’s data to
different models? No, the files are model specific and will only load into a navigation unit
with the same part number.
Can we move the client’s data to the
same vehicle with a different software
version (like moving from version 4.41
to version 4.51)? The client’s files can only be transferred to a new navigation unit, if the
Model and the Program Flash shown on the Version screen are the same.
Files cannot be transferred to the different model and different versions.
Will other files on the PC card like
images or music files prevent the
Export/Import function from working? No, the system simply adds two small files that are recognized by the
new navigation unit when performing the import function. However, it
the PC card is full, the Export function won’t work correctly.
Do I have to delete the files on the PC
card after each transfer of the
personal data? After the transfer of personal data to the new navigation unit, the files
remain on the PC card. Since this is confidential information, Acura
recommends deleting these files after the transfer use. Please note that
each time you export navigation files of the same model and version, the
files are overwritten. Over time the PC card accumulates two files for
each version of the 8 or so Acura navigation models.
It the memory card needs formatting,
what format should I use? It is unlikely that the PC card will ever need formatting, however, if it
does, use the FAT (file allocation table) file system.
I can’t enter the navigation diagnostic
mode to do the Export/Import function.
How can I transfer the personal data? Some internal navigation unit ECU failures may make it impossible to
use the Export/Import function.

QuestionAnswer
23-318Navigation System
System Diagnostic Mode (cont’d)










Why wont the Export or Import
functions work? What do I check as
part of troubleshooting?
The card may not be fully inserted into the slot. Eject the PC card, and
inspect for warping or damage to the edge connector. Never use
excessive force to insert a PC card. This can damage the pins in the
rear of the slot.
The PC card may not contain files that are recognized by the new
navigation unit. Navigation data can only be transferred between
navigation units with the same Model code, and with the same navi
Program flash version.
The flash memory chip type may not be accepted by the system. Only
Compact Flash and ATA cards have been tested.
The card’s PCMCIA adaptor may prevent a known-
good PC card from
being recognized. Avoid multi-slot type PCMCIA adaptors that accept
several different flash memory types.
The card may be full and as a result the files are stored, but without
any data. Export and import appear to function, but move nothing.
Delete unused files from the PC card.
There may not be any files on the PC card. If the PC card has a write
protection switch, make sure it is turned off before using the Export
function.
Although flash memory chips are reliable, occasionally they develop
bad sectors or other formatting errors that prevents them from
accepting files. The PC card should be reformatted using the FAT
format.
The PC card may have been formatted using the format NTFS. Only the
FAT format is accepted by the system.
Hard Disc Drive (HDD) cards may not work properly in the system and
can overheat or quit functioning, particularly in a hot vehicle. They are
not recommended.
Before performing the Import function, ensure that the original
navigation DVD is loaded into the new navigation unit and working
properly.

Introduction
Checking Cell Phone CompatibilityVoice Control Tips and Improving Voice
Recognition
23-361
The HFL system works only with Honda approved
Bluetooth
-enabled cell phones with a hands-free
profile. If you are not sure if a particular cell phone is
compatible with the HFL system, Acura has a dedicated
call center at 888-528-7876 and website www.acura.
com/handsfreelink to answer your questions.
The HFL system allows you to make and receive hands-
free calls. It cannot control the phone’s performance
(call quality and signal strength). For more information
about performance and performance problems, refer to
Dropped Calls.
The most important step in troubleshooting HFL issues
is to identify the model, software version, and wireless
carrier of the phone in question. Not all phones with the
Bluetooth feature and a hands-free profile are
compatible with the HFL system.
Go to handsfreelink.com, and check if the client phone
is approved to work with Honda HFL system.
NOTE:  The lists of approved, archived, and currently testing phones are constantly changing, so make sure you
view them frequently.
 Phones are added as they are approved.
 Phones can be removed from the approved list if a software bug is discovered that makes the phone
incompatible. These phones can be added back to the
approved list if the phone manufacturer corrects the
bug.
 If the software bug is corrected, a new software version is created and may be listed in the Supported
Features section of the phone.
 The software versions that are approved are now being listed in the Software Version field.
 If you cannot access the Acura website, call the HFL call center at 888-528-7876 for further assistance. The
call center is open Monday thru Friday from 6:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. CT; Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
CT; and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT. To give a voice command to the HFL system, press and
release the HFL TALK button. Always wait for the beep,
then give your command in a clear, natural voice. The
HFL microphone is on the ce
iling by the map lights.
If the HFL system doesn’t recognize your voice
command, you’ll hear ‘‘Pardon.’’ If your command isn’t
recognized a second time, you’ll hear ‘‘Please repeat.’’
If your command isn’t recognized a third time, the HFL
system sends you to its Help menu.
To hear a list of available options at any time, press the
HFL TALK button and say ‘‘Hands-free help.’’
The HFL system may have problems recognizing some
voices. To improve voice recognition:
 Close the windows and the moonroof.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2) or off.
 Adjust the airflow from the center vents down, so that it’s not blowing against the microphone on the ce iling.
 Speak in a clear and natural voice. If the system cannot recognize your command, try speaking louder,
in a deeper tone.
 If the background noise is too loud, you may need to speak louder.
 If you speak with something in your mouth, or your voice is too high, the system may not interpret your
command correctly.
 Find out if the problem is with one person or with everyone who uses the system. If the system has a
problem with only one person’s voice, this is a
system limitation.

Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable
parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it cannot be
repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of an airbag during service,
observe the following precautions.
 Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. Never put anything on the airbag.
 To prevent damage to the airbag, keep it away from any oil, grease, detergent, or water.
 Store the removed airbag on a secure, flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 200 °F/
93 °C).  Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags,
such as measuring resistance.
 Do not position yourself in front of the airbag during removal, inspection, or replacement.
 For proper disposal of a damaged airbag, refer to airbag disposal (see page 24-196).
 The side curtain airbag module assembly is a long, jointed part containing an inflator (A), a flexible bag
(B), and brackets (C). When removing or installing the
side curtain airbag assembly, never:
– Handle the flexible bag.
– Drop the airbag assembly.
– Cut, tear, or unwrap the taps strips.

The SRS is a safety device which, when used with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and front
passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the SRS unit, including safing
sensor and impact sensor (A), the cable reel (B), the driver’s airbag (C), the front passenger’s airbag (D), side airbags
(E), side curtain airbags (F), seat belt tensioners (G), seat belt buckle tensioners (H), side impact sensors (first) (I), front
impact sensors (J), rear safing sensor (K) and side impact sensors (second) (L).
Since the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the same time.
However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate. This can occur when collision severity is near the threshold for
airbag deployment. In such cases, the SRS system will only deploy airbags when the protection provided by the seat
belt is insufficient.
The front passenger’s weight sensors (M) are part of seat base. The front passenger’s weight sensors detect the
weight on the seat, and send the information to the ODS unit (N). If the total weight is about 30 kg (65 lbs) or less, the
ODS unit sends a signal to the SRS unit to prevent the passenger’s airbag from deploying. When the passenger’s
airbag is disabled, the passenger airbag cutoff indicator on the center panel comes on to alert the driver that the front
passenger’s airbag will not deploy in a front-end collision.
The driver’s seat position sensor (O) is under the driver’s seat on the left side. When the driver’s seat is moved to its
full forward position, the deployment of the driver’s airbag is moderated to decrease its force of impact during a front-
end collision.
