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. If you do not select OK at 
startup, voice commands will not work.
The navigation system reboots by itself (returns to the 
opening screen).
A reboot can be caused by extreme temper atures or shock from bumpy roads, and 
does not necessarily indicate a problem. If this happens frequently, please see your 
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 destinati on directly from the map. 2Map Input 
P. 75
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 INFO button. Select  Setup > Personal Information  to display the types 
of information.
2. Select the type of address to delete.
3. Select  Delete .
I cannot hear the navigation system voice.
Press the INFO button. Select  Setup and check that Volume is not set to  Off. 2Display and Volume Settings 
P. 21
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.2 Voice Recognition 
P. 20
•Say  d “Help”  on any screen to see a list of the applicable voice commands.
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.

I have forgotten my PIN.  How do I reset the PIN for 
Home or the PIN for personal addresses (User 1 or User

Your dealer must reset the PIN for you.
Why is Call grayed out on the Calculate Route screen?

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 icon on the icon bar, and the icon op tions for traffic.2Showing Icons on the Map

• 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

The navigation system does not route me the same 
way I would go or the same way as other mapping 
systems.

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 devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.

The blue highlighted route and voice guidance 
stopped or turned into a blue/pink dashed line before I 
got to my destination.

P. 41
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?
Select the map orientation icon on the map screen, or say  d “Display north-up”  to 
change the map orientation.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and 
Heading-up map orientations.
The Heading-up map orientation can only be shown in the lower scales (1/20 - 1 mile 
scales). 2 Map Scale and Functions 
P. 95
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 un aware of the width of intersections. Large 
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal. 2 GPS System 
P. 184
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.
These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if  Off-road Tracking is set 
to  On  and you drive more than 1/2 mile off mapped roads. 2Off-road Tracking 
P. 50
How do I remove the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) 
from my screen?
Press the INFO button. Select  Setup > Other  > Vehicle , and set  Off-road Tracking  
to  Off , then return to the map. 2Off-road Tracking

A road that I selected to avoid is being used when 
routing.
When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that 
include at least one intersection. 2Avoiding Streets

My elevation (shown when I display the current 
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation 
has not changed.

When I shift gears, the multi-view rear camera image 
display is delayed.
This is normal. When shifting into or out of Reverse, you may experience a delay while 
the screen image switches between the navigation screen and the multi-view rear 
camera image.
The multi-view rear camera image is too dark or too 
bright. How do I adjust the brightness?
While the camera image is displayed, press the ZOOM IN/OUT button to adjust the
