V e r i fi ed streets Unverifi ed streets
When
displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray
(ver i fi
ed streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime map
screen as purple.
Map quality The database vendor has verifi
ed these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used
when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verifi
ed by the database
vendor. The system does not contain information on one-
way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed.
They are shown on the map for reference and may have
errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destination, the displayed route line
is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance
to your destination.
Your route line is either a purple dotted “vector line,” or
a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this
option, and the routing differences, see
Unverifi ed Area
Routing on page 108 .
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change, you
are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted
traffi
c restrictions. Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance,
there are cautionary screens before and during the route
urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffi
c
restrictions. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on page 108 .
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-mile,
make a right turn.”
The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance
instruction. For example: “In a half-mile, make a right
turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.

Entering a Destination
Navigation System31
The system has a talk back function.
If your spoken letter is not recognized,
the system will talk back to you. For
example, if you say “E” but the system
does not recognize the command, it
will ask you, “Please select the number
of the input letter from the list,” and the
following pop-up box will appear:
You should select a letter by saying the
number.
Alternatively, to improve voice
recognition, you can say “Echo” or
“Edward” instead of “E.” See page 17 for
a list of available words for each letter.
By Interface Dial:
Select City, and the display then
changes to the Enter city name screen. Tip:
After the display has been changed
to the
Enter city name screen, the
name of the city where your vehicle is
currently located will be displayed.
Vehicle position may not be displayed
when the automobile is traveling off
road, you can select the City that is
currently displayed and conduct a
Street search by moving the Interface
Dial down.
Use the Interface Dial to enter the
name of the city.
The system will display a list of city
names, with the closest match to the
name you entered at the top of the list.
Select the number (1-6) of the desired
city from the list.
You can also enter part of the name and
look for the name you want from the
list that appears.
Tip:
For name input, you don’t need to enter
spaces and symbols (& , -, % , etc.) . The
system is also enabled for partial match
searches. For example, when you
search “LOS ANGELES,” it is on the
list of search results if you input “LOS”
or “ANGELES.”
Listings of cities and towns in the non-
detailed coverage area may have an
asterisk “*” next to their names. If you
select one, a pop-up box is displayed
saying, “No detailed street data...”, and
a street address cannot be entered (see
Map Coverage o n p a g e 136 ). Try entering
the street fi rst, and then select the city if
available.

Va n c o u v e r, B C Coverage may expand to other
cities as traffi

those cities becomes available. For
the latest traffi c coverage details
for each metropolitan area, check
www.acura.com /realtimetraffi c . This
site provides traffi c coverage for each
city, a demonstation video, and FAQs. Operation in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, Puerto Rico, and
Mexico
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, 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.
