2 Acura Client Services Contact Information P. 226
• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal and is not available in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am drivi ng a route on the freeway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to ON, the navigation system provides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one.
2Traffic Rerouting P. 52
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on freeway
congestion along your route. 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?Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Routing & Guidance , and set
Traffic Rerouting to OFF .

TroubleshootingGuidance, Routing
Troubleshooting
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is unaware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2GPS System P. 224
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Off-road Tracking is set
to ON and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads.
2Off-road Tracking P. 61
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
from my screen?Press the INFO/PHONE button. Select Setup > Other > Vehicle , and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF , then return to the map.
2Off-road Tracking P. 61
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when
routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2 Avoiding Streets P. 122
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±100 feet due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS System P. 224
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

Reference Information
System Initialization
The navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the
battery was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
When you purchased the vehicle, you
should have received a card with the
navigation system security code and serial
number. Keep this card in a safe place. If
you lose the card, you must obtain the
security code from your dealer.
1.Press the VOLUME button to activate
the audio system.
2. Enter the 5-digit security code when
prompted using the radio preset
buttons.
Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the
power was interrupted, your system may
require GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, th e following screen is
displayed.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites
are extremely weak (less than a millionth
of the strength of a local FM station) and
require an unobstructed view of sky. The
GPS antenna is located in the dashboard.
The signal reception can easily be
interrupted or interfered with by the
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S.
Department of Defense. For security
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation
system must constantly compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of
up to several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block.
e.g., the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown
a quarter of the way down the block by
the system. If there are only 25 actual
addresses on the block,
the actual location
of address 1425 would be at the end of
the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the
place was improperly categorized, or a
place/landmark is not yet in the database.
This is also true for police stations,
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do
not rely on the navigation system if you
need law enforcement or hospital services.
Always check with local information
sources.
