Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the United States, as well as for Canada
and Puerto Rico. The map coverage
consists of accurately mapped (verified)
metropolitan areas (in the following list)
and a less accurate (unverified) rural
database. See Map Overview on page6
for a discussion of map coverage.
The cities and metropolitan areas in the
following list are fully mapped. Only
major streets, roads, and freeways have
been verified outside these areas. If your
route passes through these areas, routing
may be limited, depending on your
routing choices. See Unverified Area
Routing on page 106.
If you desire additional map coverage
information, contact Acura Client
Services or go to www.acuranavi.com.
Enter your vehicle model and model
year, and then select the state for which
you want to verify map coverage.

Coverage Areas
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 traffic- 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, traffic 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 describe s 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 “unverified” road s or areas are not
applicable. The followi ng topics do not
apply:
• Unverified road descriptions (see page 6, 106)
• Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page 72)
• Setup entries that re late to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 107)
• See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page 134)
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 SETUP screen differences are
minor and are listed below. See the
Setup section (page 94) for additional
information.
AcuraLink/Messages
This item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.
Traffic & Weather Status
This item is grayed out on the SETUP
screen ( Other) because XM is not
available.

If Street Name Guidance is set to
ON , the street names will not be read
out by voice guidance. This may change
with future data updates.
INFO Screen Differences

utilizes XM. Because XM is not
available, it is not displayed on the
INFO screen except messages such as
the diagnosis informa tion for the trouble
of the car. In addition, the “Map menu”
item New Messages will appear
grayed out except messages such as the
diagnosis information for the trouble of
the car. This is normal.
Traffic Incidents
This item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.
Weather Info.
This item is grayed out on the INFO
screen because XM is not available.
Map Legend
The map legend “Traffic” and
“Weather” descriptions may be
available, but do not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traffic
Problem Solution
My AcuraLink Real-Time Tra ffic is missing and is not
displaying properly. What is wrong? Verify the following:
• Check the traffic icon on the icon ba
r, and the icon options for traffic.
Page 62 walks you through the verification steps.
• Your XM traffic subscription may ha ve expired. Call XM at
your subscription has
.” After XM refreshes
e running outside for 30 minutes to
124 for the status of your subscription.
• It is possible that there is a te mporary technical problem with your
metropolitan area traffic. You can call Acura Client Services to see if
there is an outage (page 132).
• 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 Traffic
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 find
a considerably faster route than the original one.
While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system has
me exit and take an altern ate freeway with unknown flow
speeds or surface st reets. Why is this? Based on freeway c
ongestion along your route, the system predicted that
taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own
experience to determine whether th e alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the original
route? Turn
Traffic Rerouting to OFF in SETUP, under Routing & Guidance
(page 110).
(800) 852-9696 and verify your account status. If
lapsed, you may need to request a “rapid refresh
your account status, leave the vehicl
receive the refresh. See page
