Frequently Asked Questions
Traffic
The daytime map screen is dark like the night display mode,
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The
Map Color in SETUP is set to White for Day.
See Switching Display Mode Manually on page111.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go to “Personal Information” in the SETUP screen ( Main Setup ), and
select PIN Number . Select GO Home 1 PIN or GO Home 2 PIN or
Address Book PIN and enter your existing PIN. You then have the choice
to change or remove the PIN. See page 95.
I forgot the PIN for Home. How do I rese t it?PINs are optional. See information regarding PINs on page 95. 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;
press the HANG-UP button.
Problem Solution
My FM Traffic is missing an d is not displaying properly.
What is wrong? Verify the following:
• FM Traffic relies on a clear FM
signal. If the radio has poor signal
strength to traffic-broadc asting stations, traffic data may not be available.
• Check the traffic icon on the icon bar, and the icon options for traffic. See
page 61.
• It is possible that there is a te mporary technical problem with your
metropolitan area traffic. You can call Honda Cust omer Service to see if
there is an outage (page 126).
• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same way I
would go, or the way some ot her mapping program displays.
Why is this? The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing the Route Preference on page53.
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 page128 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed 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 in 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 othe r aftermarket devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 123.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 101.
The map rotates while I make turns. How can I stop this? Select the North-up map orientati on by voice, or by selecting North-up
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 63.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orientat
ion can only be shown in the lower scales
Map Scale on page66.
While driving to my destinati on, 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 spee d 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 syst
em 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 page123.

Frequently Asked Questions
While I drive, my screen s hows 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 page 71 and 109.
How can I get rid of the white dots (“breadcrumbs”) from my
screen? Go to “Vehicle” in the
SETUP screen (Other ), and set Off-road
Tracking to OFF, then return to the map. See page 109.
A road that I selected to avoi d 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 page105.
My elevation (shown when I di splay the current position)
seems to fluctuate even though my elevation has not changed. This is normal and due to errors in sa
tellite position. The elevation can vary
+/- 100 feet. See System Initialization on page121.
My elevation is missing on the “current pos ition” screen.
Why? If the GPS antenna cannot receive signals
from at least four satellites, the
elevation is not displayed. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. If the
elevation is zero, or belo w sea level, the elevation is also not displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Display, Accessories
Rear Camera
Miscellaneous Other Questions
Problem Solution
The display appears dim when starting the car in really cold
weather. Is there a problem? No. This is normal, and it will become brighter after a few minutes.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displaye
d, use the rotating portion of the
Interface Dial (knob ) to adjust the brightness . This adjustment does not
affect the SETUP screen brightness adjustments.
Problem Solution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set ba
sed on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 114 (Auto Time Zone).
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page 114 (Auto Time Zone).
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
114 (Auto Daylight).
