System Setup
Auto Daylight
Sets automatic daylight saving time ON
or OFF . If set to ON, the clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
back” by one hour when a daylight
saving time change occurs. If you reside
in a state or area where daylight saving
time is not used, then you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight to ON, the
daylight saving time function is
activated even in an area that does not
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that
starting in 2007, daylight saving time
begins in March and ends in November
instead of the old schedule from April to
October. The new schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008-2009. The schedules for the time changes are
stored in the software and can be
selected in the
DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore, your clock
will change based on the daylight saving
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature
relies on a satellite signal. It will not
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.
Auto Time Zone
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to ON or OFF . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displa yed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.

2009 Accord

Navigation System97
System Setup
After you have traveled approximately
1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the
system will display a series of white
dots on the map screen to show the path
you have traveled. This is provided so
you can follow the dots to backtrack to
the mapped road you originally left.
Tracking continues until you reach a
mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on
page62.
Tracking is shown only in the 1/20, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2 mile, or the 80, 200, 400,
and 800 meter scales. Rotate the
Interface Dial knob to change the
scales if necessary.
NOTE:
To clear existing dots, turn this feature
off and exit SETUP. To re-enable this
feature, return to SETUP and turn it on
again.Correct Vehicle Position
The system relies on satellites for
positioning information. Buildings,
tunnels, and other objects can block or
reflect these signals, requiring the
system to use “dead reckoning” to
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors
in positioning, such as showing you on
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle
position is not recommended. When the
system acquires a GPS signal, it will
automatically place the vehicle in the
correct location.
If you choose to do this, follow these
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Select
Correct Vehicle Position ,
and the system will display a map
adjustment screen.
3. Use the Interface Dial to move the
vehicle position arrowhead to the
correct location, and push in on the
Interface Dial . The display will
change to:
