System Overview
Your navigation system is a highly 
sophisticated location  system with voice 
control that uses satellites and a map 
database to show you where you are and 
to help guide you to a desired 
destination.
The navigation system receives signals 
from the global positioning system 
(GPS), a network of 24 satellites in orbit 
around the earth. By receiving signals 
from several of these satellites, the 
navigation system can determine the 
latitude, longitude, and elevation of 
your vehicle. In a ddition, a gyroscopic 
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor 
in your vehicle k eep track of the 
direction and speed of  travel at all times.

Navigation System5
Introduction
The navigation system applies location, 
direction, and speed information to the 
maps and calculates a route to the 
destination you enter. As you drive to 
that destination, the system provides 
map and voice guidance.
The navigation system is easy to use. 
The locations of many places of 
business and entertainment are already 
entered in the system. You can select 
any of them as a destination by using the 
Interface Dial or voice control.
There are several ways to enter a 
destination, such as by point of interest 
(POI), by address, by phone number, 
and by selecting it from the map. The 
last 50 destinations are saved for reuse 
at a later date. The system also allows 
you to store a home address to simplify 
returning home from  your destination.Accessories Precautions
If you have front or side window tinting 
installed, be aware that if the tint has 
metallic properties, it can seriously 
degrade or prevent GPS reception. This 
is because the GPS antenna is located 
under the dashboard.
If you plan to install electronic 
components, such as radar detectors, 
vehicle tracking devices, remote 
starters, additional amplifiers, or other 
audio components, ensure that they are 
not located near the navigation control 
unit under the driver’s seat, near the 
navigation display in the dash, or near 
the GPS antenna under the dashboard. 
Signal noise emanating from these 
devices can cause intermittent 
disruption of the navigation system.
Important Safety Information
The navigation system can distract your 
attention from the road if you focus on 
the screen or operate the system’s 
controls while driving.
Enter as much information as possible 
into the system before you begin 
driving, or when the vehicle is stopped. 
Then, as you drive, listen to the audio 
instructions and use voice commands 
when possible.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
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.

Getting Started
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.
