information. The system lets you select
the metro area, neighborhood, and food
type to search the restaurant you like.
After you select the food type, the
following display appears:
Name - When you select Name, the
restaurants will be listed by alphabetical
order.
Food, Decor, Service - When you
select Food, Decor, or Service, the
restaurant will be listed by rating value. Cost -
When you select Cost, the
restaurant will be listed by the average
cost of a meal (including drink and tip).
When you select a sorting method, the
list of restaurants will appear.
You can see the survey for a listed item
by selecting the tab, or by saying
“Zagat list number X” (where X is the
number 1-3).
Once you select a rest aurant, the system
then displays the Calculate route to

on page 51). NOTE:
• Not every type of food is listed in each
metro area or neighborhood. Only
types of foods that are available in
those areas will be listed.
• For details on the ratings and symbols, say “Question mark” or

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 the XM Satellite
Radio, AcuraLink works in conjunction
with your vehicle’s navigation,
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® (HFL),
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 any problems with
your vehicle.
NOTE:
See your Owner’s Manual for more details on this feature.
AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal. It will not work correctly in Hawaii
and Alaska. When service information is received
from your vehicle or AcuraLink, an
envelope icon is displayed in the upper
right corner of the navigation screen.
The
Interface Dial controls most
AcuraLink functions. For more
information on AcuraLink, refer to:
• The Advanced Technology Guide for features and a function overview.
• Your Owner’s Manual for a detailed explanation of the system.

Navigation System121
System Limitations
The destination icon 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), the
address 1425 will be shown a quarter of
the way down the block by the system
instead of at the end of the block where
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system
occasionally reboots. This is indicated
by the display returning to the globe
screen. A reboot can be caused by a
number of things, such as extreme
temperatures or shock from bumpy
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a
problem that requires service. If this
happens frequently, please see your
dealer.

122Navigation System
Database Limitations
You will find that some points of
interest (POI) may be missing when you
search the database. This can be caused
if at the time the database was gathered,
the name was misspelled, the place was
improperly categorized, or the POI
change is not yet in the database. This
means you may not find places listed
that you know exist. This is also true for
police agencies and hospitals. In
outlying areas, facilities listed may not
be the closest. Always check with local
information sources if you need law
enforcement or hospital services.
Every effort has been made to verify
that the system’s database was accurate
at the time it was created. However,
businesses do close or relocate, and new
businesses start in the old locations. For
this reason, you may occasionally find
inaccurate information when you select
and drive to a point of interest (for
example, a restaurant is now a jewelry
store). The number of these inaccuracies
increases the longer you go without an
update. The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various
points in time before production.
Accordingly, your
DVD may contain
inaccurate or incomplete data or
information due to the passage of time,
road construction, changing conditions,
or other causes.
Due to ongoing software and database
improvements, navigation disc versions
may change in the middle of a
production year. The version shipped
with your vehicle was the most recent
available at the time of production and
is considered standard equipment for
that vehicle. There is no free program to
retrofit early production vehicles with
the latest disc. For DVD ordering
information, see page 125. In addition, this database does not
include, analyze, proc
ess, consider, or
reflect any of the following categories
of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type, weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other limits

Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
• If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it either
online at
http://update.navteq.com/ , or to
Acura Client Services.
• If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page 6).
• For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed its
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected and when your DVD
was purchased, the database can be
out of date. The business may have
not reported the change(s), or not be
in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year. • If the error does not involve the
database, such as vehicle position
icon errors, screen error messages, or
other GPS-related errors, see
Frequently Asked Questions on
page 146, System Limitations on
page 120, or Troubleshooting on
page 154.

Visiting Your Dealer
We strive to make this manual as
complete as possible and to answer all
questions regarding operation of the
system. Occasionally, you may run into
a specific issue that you cannot find in
the book. You may save yourself a trip
to the dealer by fi rst consulting the
following resources:
• The Troubleshooting section (see page 154).
• The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page 146).
• The FAQs found on the online DVD order site (see “Obtaining a
Navigation Update DVD”).
• For detailed questions regarding HFL, audio, or other systems that
interact with the navigation system,
see your Owner’s Manual, or the
Advanced Technology Guide.
• For traffic-related issues, see the “Real-Time Traffic Display” section
(on page 22) and FAQs (on
page 146). • Call Acura Client Services (see
“Acura Automobile Client Services”
on page 124).
• For database or PO I issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page 124).
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service consultant. That way, the service
consultant can document the issue for
the factory to allo w more efficient
troubleshooting.
Some issues may at first seem random,
but you may notice a pattern. For
example, they only occur when you
enter a specific address, or when driving
on a certain road, or just when it’s cold.
This information is very useful to the
service consultant. Be patient, the
service consultant may be unfamiliar
with your specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD
Acura is continually expanding the
scope of the navigation system.
Upgraded software may be made
available to navigation system owners
periodically, usually in the fall of each
year.

replacement DVD, call the Acura
Navigation Disc Fulfillment Center at
(888) 549-3798. You can also order

NOTE:

order a DVD for you as a courtesy.

The DVD order line staff cannot answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.
