Navigation System101
RIDGELINE KA  31SJC850System Initialization
System InitializationIf for any reason you  lose power to the 
navigation system (e.g., the battery was 
disconnected), the navigation system 
will require initialization. Once 
completed, your system will be ready to 
use.
This initialization requires the 
following:
 Entry of the 4-digit anti-theft security 
code.
 GPS initialization (may not be needed  depending on the length of time the 
system was without power).
 Map matching to align the GPS  coordinates to a place on the map 
(displays current street at the bottom 
of the map).
Entering the Security CodeIf the battery goes dead or is 
disconnected for any reason, you will 
have to enter a secur ity code for both the 
audio system and the navigation system 
before you can use it again.
When you purchased the vehicle, you 
should have rece ived two cards 
containing the audio and navigation 
system’s security codes and serial 
numbers. Keep these cards in a safe 
place in case you need the codes. If you 
lose the cards, you must obtain the 
security codes from your dealer. Enter the four-digit security code, then 
select 
Done. If you make a mistake, the 
system will display “incorrect PIN.” Re-
enter your 4-digit security code. If you 
have entered it correctly, the display 
changes to the  Disclaimer screen. You 
have 10 chances to enter the correct 
code. If all 10 are incorrect, turn the 
ignition to OFF, then back to ON (II) to 
have 10 more chances to enter the 
correct code.
Follow the instructions in the vehicle 
Owner’s manual to enter the 5-digit 
audio code. The navigation voice will 
not operate if the audio code is not 
entered.
NOTE:
The anti-theft security code is unrelated 
to your optional navigation system PIN 
(for Personal Address Book or Home 
Address).

Navigation System
RIDGELINE KA  31SJC850
System InitializationGPS InitializationDepending on the length of time the 
battery was disconnected, your system 
may require GPS initialization. If it 
does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the 
system proceeds directly to the 
Disclaimer screen (see page 16). 
During initialization, the system 
searches for all available GPS satellites 
and obtains their orbital information. 
During this procedure, the vehicle 
should be out in the open with a clear 
view of the sky. If the navigation system finds the 
satellites properly, this box clears and 
the 
Disclaimer  screen is shown. If 
within 10 minutes th e system fails to 
locate a sufficient number of satellites to 
locate your position, the following 
screen appears:
If the system is still unable to acquire a 
signal, follow the instructions on the 
screen, or contact your local dealer for 
assistance.
NOTE:
The average acquiri ng time is less than 
10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 
minutes.
Map MatchingThis part of the initialization matches 
the GPS coordinates found above with a 
road on the  map screen. To perform this 
part of the procedure, ensure that the 
navigation system is displaying a map, 
and drive the vehicle on a mapped road 
(a road shown on the  map screen). Do 
not enter a destina tion at this time. 
When the name of th e current road you 
are driving on appears at the bottom of 
the screen, the entire procedure is 
complete. Your system is now ready to 
use.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its  
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes  
less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,  
  power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical  
  accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting  
  the vehicle, see your dealer.
Something is interfering with the system’s ability to  
acquire its location. Check the following:
* The vehicle must be in an open area with a clear  
  view of the sky.
* Remove sources of GPS interference like metallic 
  window tint above antenna, or electrical items 
  near antenna (see owner's manual for details).
* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire 
  procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
