Navigation System
RIDGELINE KA  31SJC850
Getting StartedVoice Control BasicsYour 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  buttonThis button activates the voice control 
system. Press and release it when you 
want to give a vo ice command. See 
Voice Command Index on page 138 for 
a list of voice commands.
NAVI BACK  buttonThis 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 deactivat ed 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 SystemYou 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 RecognitionTo achieve optimum voice recognition 
when using either the navigation or 
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® voice 
control system, the fo llowing guidelines 
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is 
displayed for the voice 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.

Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry ScreensWhen in Hawaii, the following 
differences occur for map, address, and 
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S. 
mainland addresses or scroll the map 
east to the U.S. mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to  the state of Hawaii only.
 Entry of a destination address or POI  on an island other than your current 
island may result in a screen caution 
message. This is normal because 
there are no “ferry” routes between 
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on  the  Setup  screen is set to normal or 
maximum, street names will not be 
spoken in voice guidance commands.
Setup Screen DifferencesThe  Setup  screen differences are minor 
and are listed below. See the Setup 
section (page 77) for additional 
information.Routing and Guidance (Unverified 
Area Routing On/Off)This feature is unavailable. All roads 
displayed on the map are verified.Clock Adjust ScreenThere is no daylight saving time for 
Hawaii.  Auto Daylight Saving 
Time , Auto Time Zone by GPS , and 
DST Selection  will not be shown on 
the  Clock adjustment  screen. To test 
your adjustment, use the voice control 
system, and say “What time is it?” (see 
page 97).Bluetooth

Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the 
Bluetooth ® HandsFreeLink® feature, 
you may see a “Phone-Data 
Connection” screen. If so, do not 
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From 
HawaiiAlthough the DVD in the vehicle 
contains maps for both U.S. mainland 
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the 
selection of “U.S. mainland” or 
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer 
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to 
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears 
all user data. Make sure to record any 
personal information that you do not 
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the 
U.S. mainland
 If you wish to receive XM audio you 
must call XM and set up an account 
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S. 
mainland to Hawaii
 If a U.S. mainland-delivered vehicle  is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM 
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to 
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
 The issues under “Operation in  Hawaii” above apply.

Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna 
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the 
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell phones, or loose items). If the dashboard 
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings, 
trees, etc.
 
Navigation unit door is open or  No DVD disc is inserted. 
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up 
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page 109).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is inserted with the label side up (see  page 109). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unformatted). Please consult your 
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure 
you are using a navigation DVD (white
-colored label). The system cannot 
read other mapping databases or video DVDs. If the problem persists, see 
your dealer.
Display temp is too high. System will shut down until display 
cools down. This message will appear briefly when the display temperature is too high, 
and then the display will turn off 
until the temperature cools down. The 
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take awhile to start 
up. The temperature is below -22°F and the navigation system has difficulty 
reading the DVD. The system will start up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition cannot be activated 
when another unit is using the audio system. Bluetooth
® HandsFreeLink® can override  the navigation system. Make 
sure the  HFL TALK  button is not on when you press the  NAVI TALK 
button, or the message will appear. Simply press the  HFL BACK button to 
resume control of the navigation voice buttons.
