Getting Started
Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The display is
not a “touch screen” - you can enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleaner intended for
use on computer screens.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown on
the navigation system screen. See
page 125.
Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control inform ation, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confirmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the radio
band, frequency, and volume. For XM
radio, a brief description of the station
and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (A/C), and vent
setting. The time is au tomatically set by
the navigation system. Settings can be
adjusted in SETUP (see Time
Adjustment on page115).

Driving to Your Destination
AcuraLink Messages
AcuraLink enhances your ownership
experience by providing a direct
communication link between you and
Acura. AcuraLink messages are
displayed on the navigation screen.
Working through XM® Satellite Radio,
AcuraLink works in conjunction with
your vehicle’s navigation, Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink®, and audio systems to
send and receive several kinds of
message. These include:
Operating tips and information on your vehicle’s features.
Important recall and safety information.
Maintenance information to keep your vehicle in top condition.
Diagnostic information to provide information about an y problems with
your vehicle.
Planned appointments with your Acura dealer. NOTE:
See your Owner’s Manual for more
details on this feature.
When service information is received
from your vehicle or AcuraLink, an
envelope icon is di
splayed in the bottom
left corner of the navigation screen.
To view messages, press the INFO/
PHONE button and Say or select
Messages . You can also push in on
the Interface Dial on the map screen
to get to the Map menu, and select
New Messages . The
Interface Dial controls most
AcuraLink functions. For more

Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly. These
functions include but are not limited to
AcuraLink, and traffic- and weather-
related services.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto
Rico are equipped with XM hardware,
but XM broadcasting is not available;
therefore sections of the manual that
mention XM audio, traffic displays,
weather information, and AcuraLink
features do not apply.
Vehicles originally delivered to the U.S.
mainland and shipped to Hawaii also
have XM, but will not function because
the XM satellites (aimed toward the
U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the map screens
are detailed coverage roads. Text related
to “unverified” roads or areas are not
applicable. The following topics do not
apply:
Unverified road descriptions (see page 6, 106)
Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 72)
Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverified routing (see
page 106)
See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page 134)
Address and POI Entry Screens
The following differences occur for
map, address, and POI selection:
Entry of a destination address or POI
on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
Setup Screen Differences
The SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 94) for additional
information.
AcuraLink/Messages
This item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.
Traffic & Weather Status
This item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.
