Introduction

Your Acura Navigation System is a
highly-sophisticated location system

that uses satellites and a map
database to show you where you are

and to help guide you to a desired

destination.

The Navigation System receives
signals from the Global Positioning

System, a network of 24 satellites in

orbit around the earth. By receiving

signals from several of these

satellites, the Navigation System can

determine the latitude and longitude
of your car.

In addition, a gyroscopic sensor and
a speed sensor in your car keep track

of the direction and speed of travel at

all times.
The Navigation System applies this

location, direction, and speed

information to the maps and calcu-

lates a route to the destination you
enter. As you drive to that
destination, the System provides

guidance.

The Navigation System is easy to use.
The locations of many places of
business and entertainment are
already entered in the system. You

can select any of them as a desti-

nation by pressing only one or two of

the controls.

If a desired destination is not in the
system's database, you can enter its

address and the system will direct

you to it. This destination can be
saved for reuse at a later date.
As you drive, the Navigation System

provides visual and audio driving

instructions so you do not have to

take your eyes off the road. These

instructions are provided in advance

of the actual driving maneuver so
you have time to slow down and
change lanes if necessary.

Read this manual thoroughly so you
are familiar with all the Navigation

System's features. Afterwards, keep

this manual in the glove box of your

vehicle so you can refer to at any

time.

Introduction

Important Safety Information

The Navigation System can distract

your attention from the road if you
focus on the screen or operate the
system's controls while driving.

You should always enter information
into the system before you begin

driving. Then, as you drive, you can

listen to the audio instructions or

glance at the screen.
Operating the Navigation

System controls while you are

driving can take your attention

away from the road, causing a

crash in which you could be

seriously injured or killed.

Enter information into the

system only when your car is

stopped.
The Navigation System is designed

to provide route information to help

you reach your destination. However,

this route guidance may sometimes
conflict with road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,

and detours.

Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page 66).

Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information

provided by the system by carefully
observing the roadway, signs and

signals, etc. If you are unsure,

proceed with caution. Always use

your own good judgment, and obey

traffic laws while driving.
