Getting Started
INFO button

Messages, Voice Command Help,
Cellular Phonebook, Map Legend,
Calendar, Key to Zagat Ratings,
Calculator, and Roadside
Assistance. See page72.
Joystick

Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. In addition, the
display is a “touch screen” – you can
enter information into the system by
touching the images (icons) on the
screen with your finger.
For example, if you need to enter a
street name, a keyboard will be
displayed. You can type in the street
name by saying or selecting the
individual character s on the screen.
Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleanser intended
for use on liquid crystal displays
(LCDs). Harsher chemicals may
damage the screen.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (reverse), the
rear view is shown on the navigation
system screen. See page101.
Upper 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 bried description of the station
and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature
displays. The time is automatically set
by the navigation system. Settings can
be adjusted in Setup (see Time
Adjustment on page99).

Getting Started
Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio system and
the climate control system. The voice
control system uses the NAVI TALK
and NAVI BACK buttons on the
steering wheel and a microphone near
the map light on the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers are muted.
NAVI TALK button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page137 for
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the disp lay returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
the navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivated while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature.
See your vehicle Owner’s manual and
the official web site (www.acura.com/
handsfreelink) for information on this
system.
