RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Coverage Areas
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM RadioNavigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio 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.
Map CoverageAll roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
• Unverified road descriptions (see
page 6 and 87).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related
to unverified roads (see page 64).• Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 87).
• When zooming in and out, there is no
350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 110).
• Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.

Navigation System125
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry ScreensWhen in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
• It is not possible to enter U.S.
mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. mainland.
• Selection of the “State” is confined to
the state of Hawaii only.
• 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.
• If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on
the Setup screen is set to normal or
maximum, street names will not be
spoken in voice guidance commands.Setup Screen DifferencesThe Setup screen differences are minor
and are listed below. See the Setup
section (page 77) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust ScreenThere is no daylight saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight Saving
Time, Auto Time Zone by GPS, and
DST Selection will not be shown on
the Clock adjustment screen. To test
your adjustment, use the voice control
system, and say “What time is it?” (see
page 97).
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature,
you may see a “Phone-Data
Connection” screen. If so, do not
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
• If you wish to receive XM audio you
must call XM and set up an account
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
• If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle
is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
• The issues under “Operation in
Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Map and Features, Voice Operation, Entering Addresses
Problem Solution
Why does the Disclaimer screen need to be displayed every
time I start the car? I am the only driver.The Disclaimer screen reminds you and your guest drivers to always
operate the navigation system in a safe manner.
The Setup or Information screen has “grayed out” items that
I cannot select. Why?You need to select OK on the Disclaimer screen to view these items. See
System Function Diagram on page 21.
I tried entering an address, but the city or street could not be
found. Is there any other way to route to the location?Some cities are lumped in with a major metro area. Try entering the street
first. In rural “unverified” areas or new subdivisions, streets may be missing
or only partially numbered. Try selecting the destination directly from the
map. See By Map Input on page 38.
When I enter an address, some letters become grayed out. Is
this normal?Yes. As you enter each letter in an address or a point of interest (POI), the
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?This is done in the Setup screen (second) under “Personal Information.”
See page 80.
I cannot hear the navigation system voice. 1) Ensure that Volume in the Setup screen (first) is not Off. See page 77.
2) Go to “Basic Settings” in the Setup screen (second), and set Voice
Recognition Feedback to On. See page 96.
The voice control system is having difficulty recognizing my
voice commands.Ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone on the ceiling, the
vehicle is as quiet as possible, and you are using the correct command when
speaking (see Improving Voice Recognition on page 13). Say “Help” at any
screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands. If the system cannot
recognize your command because of background noise, speak louder.
When the system pronounces the street name in the guidance
command or reads the destination address, it sounds strange.
What causes this?The basic guidance phrase uses a studio-recorded voice, but the street name
is pronounced by the system using a machine-generated voice.
Consequently, the name may be mispronounced or sound strange at times.

Navigation System127
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch
to the night display mode. Why?The system thinks it is in Day display mode. Verify the following: The
display mode in Setup is set to Auto, the dash brightness is not set to
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and Map Color in Setup is set
to Black for Night. See Display on page 78.
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why?Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to Auto, and Map
Color in Setup is set to White for Day. See Display on page 78.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display
day mode?Adjust the dash brightness (+) button (with headlights on) to full brightness.
Remember to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be
bright. See Display on page 78.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The navigation system was not designed for this. However, you can view
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the
map. See Map Screen Legend on page 52.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second), and select PIN
Number. Select User 1 or User 2 and enter your existing PIN, and then
you have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 84.
I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it?PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 84. Your dealer
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL is not available on the Calculate route to screen.
Why?Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if your phone is paired, it is in use or
does not have good coverage; press the HFL BACK button. Problem Solution
Frequently Asked Questions

128Navigation System
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
Problem Solution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping program displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Routing Method on page 48.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. See page 108 for
ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
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.• The GPS antenna (located under the center of the dashboard) may be
blocked by personal items. 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 see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 103.
I entered a destination, but the blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my destination. Why is this?Your route has entered an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 87.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by touching the map
orientation icon on the map screen. See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orientations. Why is this?The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page 56.
While driving to my destination, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer.The “Time to go” is based on actual road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based on your actual 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. Is there
anything wrong?No. When at an intersection, the system is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page 103.

Navigation System129
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
While I drive, my screen shows white dots (“breadcrumbs”)
on it. What do they mean?These are called “breadcrumbs.” If you drive more than 1/2 mile from
mapped roads, the off-road tracking feature begins to function. See Off-road
Tracking on pages 62 and 94.
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen?Go to “Vehicle” in the Setup screen (second), and set Off-road Tracking
to Off, then return to the map. See page 94.
A road that I selected to avoid is being used when routing.
What is wrong?When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads
that include at least one intersection. See page 91.
When I arrive at my destination, the bull’s-eye is shown at a
different location on the street. Why?The system calculates the bull’s-eye location based on the street address
range allocated for that street. See Destination Icon on page 57 for an
example.
My elevation (shown when I touch the vehicle position icon)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed.This is normal and due to errors in satellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Limitations on page 103.
My elevation is missing on the “current position” screen.
Why?If the GPS antenna cannot receive at least four satellites, the elevation is not
displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the elevation is zero
or below sea level, the elevation is also not displayed. Problem Solution
Frequently Asked Questions

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering a Navigation DVD, Coverage, Map Errors, Limitations
Problem Solution
I want to buy a new DVD. How do I purchase one?You cannot obtain a new DVD from the dealer. See Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page 108.
I want to order a DVD. How can I determine the DVD version
in my navigation system?The version is on the label of your DVD. It starts with “Ver:.” See Changing
the DVD on page 109.
I got a navigation DVD from a friend or an online source, but
it does not work. Why?Your vehicle was designed to use a white DVD. DVDs with differently
colored labels or from different manufacturers will not operate correctly.
Always obtain DVDs from the DVD order desk. See page 108.
When is my city going to become part of a fully verified
detailed coverage area?The mapping database vendor is constantly revising map coverage. See
page 108 for ways to obtain the latest detailed coverage information.
Will the navigation system work outside North America? The navigation system contains maps only for the lower 48 U.S. states,
Hawaii, and portions of southern Canada. The system will not work in
Mexico, Alaska, or overseas. Canada coverage is limited. See Map
Coverage on page 110.
I moved my vehicle from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii (or
from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland). Why does my navigation
system not show the correct map?The coverage area (Hawaii or U.S. mainland) must be selected by your
dealer.
Can I play video DVDs in my navigation system? No. The navigation system is designed only to read the white DVD provided
with your vehicle. Map discs for other vehicle manufacturers or PC map
programs will not work.
I found some errors in the database. How do I report them? Minor errors are bound to occur in a large database. If you encounter major
errors, you can report them following the instructions on page 107.
