Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
 If the error pertains to freeways and main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it either
online at:
http://update.navteq.com/ , or to
Honda Customer Services.
 If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified,
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page6).
 For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed their
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected, and when your DVD
was purchased, the database can be
out of date. The business may have
not reported the change(s), or not be
in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year.  If the error does not involve the
database, such as if the vehicle
position icon does not follow the
road, screen error messages, or other
GPS related errors, see Frequently
Asked Questions on page114, System
Limitations on page98, or
Troubleshooting on page121.

Changing the DVD
NOTE:
The system’s database is stored on a
removable DVD. The system will not
work without the DVD. Ensure the door
remains closed at all times.
1. Remove the DVD while the ignition
switch is in the Accessory (I) position
or in the ON (II) position.
2. Locate the control unit. It is under the front of passenger seat.
3. Push the OPEN button. An error
message will display on the screen.
This is normal. 4. Push the Eject button. The DVD will
automatically come out.
5. Pull the DVD straig ht out. Hold the
DVD by the edges. Fingerprints,
scratches, or other contamination on
the playing surface can make the
DVD unreadable.
To install the Navigation DVD, make
sure the white label is facing up. Slide
the DVD into the slot. The DVD is
automatically pulled into the control
unit. Make sure you close the door. NOTE:
 The system will not play movies or
other video/audio discs.
 Never “sneak preview” a newer white labeled DVD in the system
unless you plan to keep it. The system
cannot automatically “revert back”
to a prior version DVD. If you must
revert to a previous version DVD
after loading a newer version, see
your dealer for assistance.
 If you see the error message “Navigation unit door is open...,”
close the door.

of accurately mapped (verified)
metropolitan areas (in the following
list), and a less accurate (unverified)
rural database. Canada coverage
consists of major metropolitan areas,
and major roads connecting the
metropolitan areas within about 100
