Multi-view Rear CameraAbout Your Multi-View Rear CameraThe navigation screen can display your vehicle’s rear view. The display automatically
changes to the rear view when the shift lever is moved to Reverse.
You can view three different camera angles on the rearview display. Press the
interface dial to switch the angle.
If Top View is last used before you turn the power mode to OFF, Wide mode is
selected next time you turn the power on and move the shift lever to
Reverse.
■Multi-View Rear Camera Display Area
1About Your Multi-View Rear Camera
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot
see the corner ends of the bumper or what is
underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also
makes objects appear closer or farther than they
actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before
backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather,
lighting, and high temperatures) may also restrict
the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display
which does not give you all information about
conditions at the back of your vehicle.
If the camera lens is covered with dirt or
moisture, use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens
clean and free of debris.

Problem
Solution
The Startup Confirmation screen is displayed every
time I start the car.
This is normal. The Startup Confirmation screen reminds you and your guest drivers to
always operate the navigation system in a safe manner. The Startup Confirmation
screen goes off after a certain period of time and the top screen of the last mode is
displayed.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the
opening screen).
A reboot can be caused by extreme temperatures or shock from bumpy roads, and
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see a dealer.
How do I specify a destination when an entered city or
street could not be found?
• Try entering the street first. Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. In
rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing or only partially
numbered.
• Try selecting the destination directly from the map. 2Map Input
P. 105
Why do some letters become grayed out when I enter
an address?
As you enter each letter in an address or a place/landmark, the navigation system
looks in the database to see what letters are possible and grays out letters that do not
apply.
How do I delete Personal Addresses, Previous
Destinations, or the Home Address?
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Personal Info to display the
types of information.
2.Select the type of address to delete.
3.Select Delete.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select System Settings and check that Volume is not
set to 0.
2.Select Voice Rec. and set Voice Prompt to On.
The voice control system is having difficulty
recognizing my voice commands.
• Check that the vents are not blowing air onto the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking. 2Voice Recognition

•Say d “Voice Help” on any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.

Troubleshooting
I cannot select an option using the Interface Dial.
To reduce potential driver distraction, certain onscreen functions and features are
limited or inoperable while the vehicle is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to
proceed.
The navigation system pronunciation of street names
in the guidance command or destination address
sounds strange.
The basic guidance phrases use a studio-recorded voice, but street names are
pronounced using a machine-generated voice. Consequently, the name may be
mispronounced or sound strange at times.
The screen is bright when I drive at night.
1.Check that the nighttime dashboard brightness control is not set to maximum.
2.Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > Color (Night). Set the
Night color to Black for the best contrast. 2Switching Display Mode Manually

The screen is dark when I drive during the day.
Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > Color (Day). Set the Day
color to White for the best contrast. 2Switching Display Mode Manually

How do I change or remove my PIN?
1.Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Personal Info > PIN Number >
Address Book PIN or Go Home PIN.
2.Enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice to change or remove the PIN. 2PIN Numbers

I have forgotten my PIN. How do I reset the PIN for
Home or the PIN for personal addresses?
A dealer must reset the PIN for you.

Traffic
Problem
Solution
My FM Traffic is missing or is not displaying properly.
What is wrong?
Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal. If signal strength is low, traffic data may not
be available.
• Check the traffic icons and traffic flow on the Navi Settings.2Showing Icons on Map
P. 67
• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your metropolitan
area traffic.
You can call Honda Automobile Customer Service to see if there is an outrage.

• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.
The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am driving 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 significantly faster route than the original one. 2Traffic Rerouting
P. 53
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.
The navigation system predicts which route 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 SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing, and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off. 2Traffic Rerouting

The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.
The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route. 2Route Preference

The navigation system wants to route me around
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up

The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.
The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet. 2Map Coverage
P. 297
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of
the screen is white or missing.
• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best
reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult a dealer. 2GPS System

The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got to
my destination.
Your route has entered an unverified area. 2Unverified Routing

How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > View > North-Up, or say
d “Display north-up” to change the map orientation.
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.
If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival
time.
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

Problem
Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really
cold weather.
This is normal. The display will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem
Solution
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code.
Set the power mode to ON, and press and hold the 9 (Power) button for two
seconds. The system should reactivate. If you have installed an aftermarket system,
contact a dealer.
