Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the lower 48 U.S. states, Hawaii, and
southern Canada. The U.S. map
coverage consists of accurately mapped
(verified) metropolitan areas (in the
following list) and a less accurate
(unverified) rural database. Canada
coverage consists of major metropolitan
areas and major roads connecting the
metropolitan areas within about 100
miles north of the U.S. border. If you
need additional northern Canada
coverage, you may purchase the gray
Canadian DVD (see Obtaining a
Navigation Update DVD on page 125).
See Map Overview on page 6 for a
discussion of map coverage.
The cities and metropolitan areas in the
following list are fully mapped. Only
major streets, roads, and freeways have
been verified outside these areas. If your
route passes through these areas, routing
may be limited, depending on your
routing choices. See Unverified Area
Routing on page 101. If you desire additional map coverage
information, contact Acura Client
Services or go to the Acura Store link at
www.acuranavi.com. Enter your vehicle
model and model year, then select the
state in which you want to check map
coverage.

Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
If you wish to receive XM audio, traffic, or weather, you must call XM
and set up an account at (800) 852-
9696.
To begin receiving AcuraLink quick tips, contact Acura Client Services at
(800) 382-2238, and ask them to
activate your AcuraLink unit. Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
If a U.S. mainland
-delivered vehicle
is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. It is necessary to see your
Hawaii dealer to allow viewing of
local Hawaii maps.
The issues under “Operation in Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traffic
ProblemSolution
My Real-Time Traffic is mi ssing and is not displaying
properly. What is wrong? Verify the following:
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar,
and the icon options for traffic.
Page 67 walks you through the verification steps.
• Your XM NavTraffic subscription may have expired. Call XM at (800)
852-9696 and verify your account status . If your subscription has lapsed,
you may need to request a “rapid re fresh.” After XM performs the refresh,
leave the vehicle running outside for 30 minutes to receive the refresh. See
page 115 for the status of your subscription.
• It is possible that there is a te mporary technical problem with your
metropolitan area traffic. You can call Acura Client Services to see if there
is an outage (page 124).
• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• Real-Time Traffic relies on a satellite signal. It will not work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.
When I am driving a route on the freeway and Traffic
Rerouting is ON , sometimes the system provides a detour
route. Why is this? The system will provide a detour route
to your destination only if it can find
a considerably faster route than the original one.
While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system has
me exit and take an altern ate freeway with unknown flow
speeds or surface st reets. Why is this? Based on freeway c
ongestion along your route, the system predicted that
taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own
experience to determine whether th e alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the original
route? Turn
Traffic Rerouting to OFF in SETUP, under Routing & Guidance
(page 105).
