Reference Information
System Initialization
The navigation system must be initialized if 
power to the navigation system is 
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery 
was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
Find the navigation system’s security code 
and serial number label in your Owner’s 
Manual kit. Do not store the label in your 
vehicle. If you lose the label, you must first 
retrieve the serial number, and then obtain 
the code. You can find out about your serial 
number and security code from a dealer.
1.Set the power mode to ON, and turn on 
the audio system.
2.Press and hold the audio system power 
button for more than two seconds.
u The system is reac tivate
 d when the 
system’s control unit recognizes that 
the system is in your vehicle. If the 
control unit fails  to recognize, Enter 
Code  appears on the navigation 
screen.
3. Enter 
the security code.
u If you  do not enter the security code 
cor
 rectly after 10 tries, leave the 
system for one hour before trying 
again, or visit a dealer to have the 
system reset.
In the U.S., you can register the security 
co de
 on Honda Owners 
( owners.honda.com ). To find information 
on how to retrieve the serial number and 
obtain the code, visit 
radio-navicode.honda.com .
Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the power 
was interrupted, your system may require 
GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system 
proceeds directly to the St
artup 
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to  locate a sufficient 
num
 ber of satellites to locate your position 
within 10 minutes, th e following screen is 
displayed.

Reference Information
If you are experiencing GPS reception 
problems: 
2 GPS System  P. 224
Startup Confirmation 
Screen
The Startup Confirmation screen is 
displayed when initialization has 
successfully completed. It is displayed every 
time you start your vehicle. Select  OK to 
continue.
“ OK ” can not be selected using a voice 
comma
 nd.
Map Matching
Map matching is the process of using the 
acquired GPS information to locate your 
position on the map screen. If you are on a 
mapped road, the name of the road is 
displayed along the bottom of the map 
screen when map matc hing is completed. 
Do not enter a destination until the road 
name is displayed.
The system may initially show your location 
on  a differe
nt street (e.g., in urban areas 
where streets are close  together), may show 
an incorrect elevation, or may delay the 
display of the vehicle position icon at 
intersections. This is normal; the system will 
correct itself while you drive.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS System
The signals received from the GPS satellites 
are extremely weak (less than a millionth of 
the strength of a local FM station) and 
require an unobstructed view of the sky. 
The GPS antenna is located in the 
dashboard. The signal reception can easily 
be interrupted or interfered with by the 
following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side  wind ows
•
Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic 
de
vices docked in a cradle or lying loose 
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle  tracking system s 
mounted near the 
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near  the nav i
gation unit
• Trees, tall buildings , freeway overpasse
 s, 
tunnels, or overhead electrical power 
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department 
of Def ense. For 
security reasons, there are 
certain inaccuracies bu ilt into the GPS for 
which the navigation system must 
constantly compensate. This can cause  occasional positioning errors of up to 
several hundred feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the 
approximate location of a destination 
address. This occurs if the number of 
possible addresses is different from the 
number of actual addr
esses on a block. For 
example, the address  1425 on a 1400 block 
with 100 possible addresses (because it is 
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a 
quarter of the way down the block by the 
system. If there are only  25 actual addresses 
on the block, the actual  location of address 
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects 
conditions as they existed at various points 
in time before production. Accordingly, 
your database may contain inaccurate or 
incomplete data or information due to the 
passage of time, road construction, 
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may 
be missing when  you 
search the database 
because the name was misspelled, the place 
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is 
also true for police st ations, hospitals, and 
other public institutions. Do not rely on the 
navigation system if you need law 
enforcement or hospital services. Always 
check with local in formation sources.

uu System Limitations  u Database
Reference Information
In addition, the map database contains 
verified and unverified areas. Unverified 
streets may be missing from the map, in the 
wrong location, or have an incorrect name 
or address range. A message will warn you 
if your route includes unverified streets. 
Exercise additional caution when driving in 
unverified areas.
The database does not include, analyze, 
process, consider, or reflect any of the 
following categories of information:
• Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law 
enforcem ent
•
Emergency, rescue, medical, or other 
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type,  weight,  load, height
, and speed 
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade
• Bridge height, width, weight, or other 
limi
ts
• Traffic facilities safety
• Special events
• Pavement characteristics or conditions Every effort has been made to verify that 
the database is acc
u
rate. The number of 
inaccuracies you expe rience increases the 
longer you go with out obtaining an 
updated map database.
