The XM satellites are in orbit over the equator; 
therefore, objects south  of the vehicle may cause 
satellite reception interr uptions. Satellite signals 
are more likely to be bl ocked by tall buildings 
and mountains the farther north you travel from 
the equator.
You may experience reception problems under 
the following circumstances:•In a location with an obstruction to the south 
of your vehicle•In tunnels•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road•Large items are carried on the roof rack

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 
P. 106
• 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 
outrage.

• If the situation persists, see your Honda dealer for assistance.
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an 
alternate freeway with unknown flow speeds or 
surface streets.
The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on freeway 
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the 
alternate route would be faster.

234Reference Information
System LimitationsGPS SystemThe 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 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 
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic 
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose 
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle 
tracking systems mounted near the 
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near 
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses, 
tunnels, or overhead electrical power 
wires
The GPS is operated by the U.S. 
Department of Defense. For security 
reasons, there are certain inaccuracies built 
into the GPS for wh ich the navigation 
system must constantly compensate. This  can cause occasional positioning errors of 
up to several hundred feet.
Address CalculationThe 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 addresses on a block. 
e.g., 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.
DatabaseThe 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 stations, 
hospitals, and other public institutions. Do 
not rely on the navigation system if you 
need law enforcement or hospital services. 
Always check with local information 
sources.
