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 addition, a gyroscopic
yaw sensor and a vehicle speed sensor
in your vehicle keep track of the
direction and speed of travel at all times.
This vehicle’s navigation display, if so
equipped, includes mercury-containing
components. Upon removal, please
reuse, recycle, or dispose of as
hazardous waste.

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
touch screen, joystick, 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 screen 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.

12Navigation System
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 lights on
the ceiling.
NOTE:
While using the voice control system, all
of the speakers 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 page138 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.

Navigation System13
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick 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.
• 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 touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” 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 138.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.

reminder show up again later in the day,
touch the Remind Later button.
If you press the CANCEL button, the
message will be displayed the next time
you start the vehicle.
NOTE:
The system will display the current
message and any older or previously
unread messages, with the newest
message listed first.Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
If you have a Bluetooth-compatible cell
phone that is paired, then CALL on the
Calculate route to screen is enabled.
When you select CALL, the system

your phone is paired, then make sure the
phone has service or that HFL is not in
use; press the HFL BACK button.
For more information on Bluetooth®
HandsFreeLink®, see your Owner’s
Manual and the official website
