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 traffi c- 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,
traffi c 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 “unverifi ed” roads or areas are not
applicable. The following topics do not
apply:
• Unverifi ed road descriptions (see
page 7 , 102 )
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverifi ed roads (see page 71 )
• Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverifi e d r o u t i n g ( s e e p a g e 10 3 )
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 129 ).
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 SET UP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 92 ) for additional
information.

Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and
Puerto Rico
Although the HDD 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. NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Alaska,
Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico to
the U.S. mainland
• If you wish to receive XM audio,
traffi c, 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 Alaska, Hawaii, Canada,
and Puerto Rico
• If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle is shipped to Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico, there is no
XM reception.
• The issues under “Operation in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto
Rico” apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
148 Navigation System
Traf c
Problem Solution
My AcuraLink Real-Time Traffi c is missing and is not
displaying properly. What is wrong? yVerify the following:
• Check the traffi
c icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffi c. Page
67 walks you through the verifi cation steps.
• Your XM traffi c 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 refresh.” After XM refreshes your account
status, leave the vehicle running outside for 30 minutes to receive the
refresh. See page 120 for the status of your subscription.
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan area traffi c. You can call Acura Client Services to see if there
is an outage (page 127 ).
• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal. It will not work in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
When I am driving a route on the freeway and Traffi c
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 fi
nd a
considerably faster route than the original one.
While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system
has me exit and take an alternate freeway with unknown
fl ow speeds or surface streets. Why is this? Based on freeway congestion along your route, the system predicted that
taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own
experience to determine whether the alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route? Tu r n Tr a f fi
c Rerouting to OFF in Setup, under Routing & Guidance (page 109 ).
