Getting Started
INFO button

Messages, Voice Command Help,
Cellular Phonebook, Map Legend,
Calendar, Key to Zagat Ratings,
Calculator, and Roadside

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).

AcuraLink Messages
AcuraLink enhances your ownership
experience by providing a direct

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.
 See your vehicle’s Owner’s manual for more details on this feature. When service inform
ation is received
from your vehicle or AcuraLink, an
envelope button is displayed in the
upper right corner of the Navigation
screen.
The touch panel controls most
AcuraLink functions. For more
information on AcuraLink, refer to:
 The Quick Start Guide for features and a function overview.

Operation in Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
Navigation System operation for
vehicles delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navi Vehicles delivered to Hawaii are
equipped with XM hardware, but XM
broadcasting is not available; therefore
sections of the manual that mention XM
audio, traffic displays, and AcuraLink
features, do not apply. Vehicles
originally delivered to the US mainland,
and shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but
will not function because the XM
satellites (aimed toward the US
mainland) are too far away to obtain
reception.
