warning HONDA ELEMENT 2009 1.G Navigation Manual

6Navigation System
While driving, do not look at the screen
or operate the system controls for more
than a second or so at a time, and only
after deciding you can do so safely. Pull
to the side of the road if you need more
time to look at the screen or operate the
controls. The navigation system is designed to
provide route information to help you
reach your destination. However, this
route guidance may sometimes conflict
with current road conditions such as
street closures, road construction,
detours, and out-of-date map data.
Additionally, the system itself has
certain limitations (see page98).
Therefore, you must verify the audio
and visual route information provided
by the system by caref
ully 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.
Map Overview
Current Street
The current street on which your vehicle
is appears at the bottom of the map
screen (see page18). A message saying
“Not on a digitized road” may appear
instead when you drive half a mile away
from a mapped road. For more details,
see Off-road Tracking on page59.
Verified/Unverified Street
Your navigation system has two kinds
of streets: verified (dark colored) and
unverified (light colored). The
differences between the two types of
streets are contrasted in the chart on
page7.
Using the navigation system
while driving can take your
attention away from the road,
causing a crash in which you
could be seriously injured or
killed.
Follow all operating instructions
and safety information in this
manual.

Calculator
The calculator function operates like a
standard handheld calculator.
Unit Conversion
Values entered on the calculator can be
converted from one unit to another (e.g.,
inches to millimeters).
Unit Conversion
To perform a conversion:
1. Enter a numeric value to be converted (for example, 100).
2. Select the type of unit you want to convert (for example, weight). The
screen for that conversion type
appears (see illustration in step 3).
3. Select the base unit (e.g., pounds) that you wish to convert to some other
unit. All other units will change
automatically depending on the base
unit value. In the example below,
100 lbs converts to 1600 ounces, 0.05
ton (U.S.), etc.
NOTE:
 If you do not enter a value to be converted, only “Temperature” units
are selectable.
 Conversions using negative value may produce meaningless or
physically impossible values.
