Navigation System13
Getting Started
NAVI BACK button
This button has the same function as the
CANCEL button. When you press and
release it, the display returns to the
previous screen. When the previous
screen appears, the system replays the
last prompt. This button is enabled for
the navigation system commands only.
However, it can be used to cancel an
audio or climate control voice command
up to one second after the command
confirmation.
NOTE:
For the Touring model, the NAVI
TALK and NAVI BACK buttons are
deactivated while using the Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink® feature. See your
vehicle Owner’s manual and the official
web site ( handsfreelink.honda.com ) for
information on this system.
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
“back-up” method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control your navigation system by
voice:
 Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
 Wait for the beep.
 Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required. If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are not sure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help” at any
screen. The system can
then read the list
of commands to you.

14Navigation System
Getting Started
When you speak a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Setup.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” the system is
asking for input that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition,
when using either the Navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the following guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page
132 .
 Adjust the air flow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do
not blow against the microphone on
the ceiling. Place your hand over the
microphone; if you feel any airflow,
adjust the vents.
 Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation.
 Close the windows and the sunroof.
 After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command.
 Give a voice command in a clear, natural speaking voice without
pausing between words.  If the system cannot recognize your
command because of background
noise, speak louder.
 If more than one person is speaking at the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
 If you are still having trouble with the voice control system, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen.

Navigation System17
Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. Say or select Space to
enter a space between words. Say or
select Delete to erase a letter entered
incorrectly.
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system finds only one entry
that matches, it completes the entry of
the name for you. If the system finds
more than one entry that matches your
input, the system displays a list.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the spelling of a
name, enter the lette rs that you are sure
of, and then select List. The system
displays a list of names that most closely
matches your input. You can choose to have your keyboard
displayed in alphabetized format as
shown below:
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY)
format as shown below:
See
Keyboard Layout in the Setup
screen (second).Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
(Touring Model Only)
If you have a Bluetooth compatible cell
phone that is “paired,” then CALL on
the Calculate route to screen is
enabled.
When you select CALL, the system
dials the number shown on the screen. If
CALL is not available (dark gray), and
your phone is “paired,” then make sure
the phone has service or that HFL is not
in use; press the HFL BACK button.
For more information on Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink®, see the vehicle
Owner’s manual and the official web
site ( handsfreelink.honda.com ).
