Screen
All selections and instructions are
displayed on the screen. The Display is
not a “touch screen” - you enter
information into the system either by
voice or by using the Interface Dial.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth.
You may use a mild cleaner intended for
use on liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Harsher chemicals may damage the
screen.
NOTE:
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse), the
rear view behind the vehicle is shown on
the navigation system screen. See
page 101. Lower Display
Shows a summary of the audio and
climate control information, as well as
the time. This summary is helpful as a
confirmation when adjusting audio or
climate by voice.
The audio summary consists of the radio
band, frequency, and volume. For XM
radio, a brief description of the station
and current music is displayed.
The climate status consists of the
driver’s and passenger’s temperature,
fan speed, ON/OFF (AC), and vent
setting. The time is automatically set by
the navigation system. Settings can be
adjusted in SETUP (see
Time
Adjustment on page95).

Navigation System13

Voice Control Basics
Your vehicle has a voice control system
that allows hands-free operation of most
of the navigation system functions. You
can also control the audio and climate
control system. The voice control
system uses the NAVI TALK and NAVI
BACK buttons on the steering wheel
and a microphone near the map light on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers (except the RES
haedphones) are muted. NAVI TALK
button
This button activates the voice control
system. Press and release it when you
want to give a voice command. See
Voice Command Index on page139 for
a list of voice commands. 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
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:
The NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK
buttons are deactivated while using the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink ® feature.
See your Owner’s Manual and the
official website
(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 Interface Dial
as a backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
• Wait for the beep (the icon is displayed on the top left of the
screen).
• 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 unsure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help.” The system
will then read the list of available
commands to you.
When you give 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 Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface Dial,”
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 vo ice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 139.
• It is best if the windows and sunroof are closed. If you drive with the
windows or sunroof open, speak a
little louder to overcome the wind
noises.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.

Navigation System15
Getting Started
• If more than one person is speaking at
the same time, the system may
misinterpret your command.
• After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the
beep, then give a voice command
while the icon is displayed on the
top left of the screen.
• 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 you are still having trouble with the voice control sy stem, refer to Voice
Command Help on the
Information screen or say “Help”
while the icon is displayed on the
top left of the screen.
NOTE:
The voice control system can be used
only in the driver’s seat because the
microphone unit removes noises from
the front passenger’s side.Selecting an Item (Button)
on the Screen
On most screens, there are items that
can be selected (like buttons with titles
such as OK or Return ). To select an
item on any screen, do one of the
following:
• Use the voice control system and say the name of the desired item. Almost
all selectable items on the screen,
including some listed items, are
recognized by the voice control
system.
• Move the highlighting to the desired item with the Interface Dial or its
knob , then push in on the Interface
Dial .
Tip:
If items are grayed out, this means that
they cannot be selected.
Selecting an Item in a List
To scroll through a list, do one of the
following:
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
scroll one item at a time.
• Use the voice control system to scroll page by page. For example, to scroll
up, say “Up” or “Previous.” To scroll
down, say “Next” or “Down.”
• Move the Interface Dial up or down
to scroll through the list page by
page.
If you cannot find the desired name, or
have made an error, return to the
previous screen by pressing the
CANCEL or the NAVI BACK button
on the steering wheel.
To select the desired item in the list, do
one of the following:
• Use the voice control system, and say the item number of the desired item.
• Rotate the Interface Dial knob to
move the highlighting to the item,
then push in on the Interface Dial.

Entering Information
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a screen similar
to the one at the right. You can then use
the displayed letters, numbers, or
symbols to enter information. You can
enter your keyboard input in either of
the following ways:
• Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are
entering a City or Street name.
• Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating
the Interface Dial knob , then push
in on the Interface Dial .
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. Move the Interface Dial
right to enter a space between words. If
necessary, move it to the left to delete
an entry.
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 find
s only one entry that matches, it completes the name entry for
you. If the system finds more than one entry that matches your input, a list of these
matches is displayed.
Tip:
When entering a name of a city, street, or place, or if you are unsure of the spelling
of the name, enter the letters that you are sure of, then move the Interface Dial up
to select LIST. The system will display a list of names that most closely match your
input.
NOTE:
The voice command names that can be used for each letter are shown below. For
additional keyboard symbols, see page 150.
