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

System Setup
Unverified Area RoutingAllows you to receive turn-b y-turn map and voice guidance in unverified  areas when en route to a destination (see Map Overview 
on page 6). The chart below illust rates the routing differences with this setting On or Off.
Unverified Area Routing: Off (factory default) Unverified Area Routing:  On
Decision:
Why choose 
On or Off? The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the 
navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to 
the destination. The driver 
understands that unverified 
roads may not be accurate, a nd can contain errors in 
location, naming, and address range. The driver chooses to let the navigation system suggest possible 
routing. The driver understands th
at in some cases, guidance may 
not be appropriate. Unverified roads may not be accurate, and can 
contain errors in location,  naming, and address range.
What you will 
see… A blue dotted vector line is displayed on the map that 
continually points to your destination. The driver 
should stop and then use the 
map to select streets that 
lead to the destination. A blue-pink dashed route line highlights suggested unverified 
streets on the map while traveling to your destination. This is in 
sharp contrast to the normal blue route line displayed in verified 
areas.
Cautionary 
messages There are cautionary pop-up screens and voice 
announcements, before and 
during the route. These 
serve as reminders that you should obey all traffic 
restrictions. There are cautionary pop-up scr
eens and voice announcements, 
before and during the route. These serve as reminders that you 
should exercise additional caution, and obey all traffic 
restrictions.
Guidance 
(map/voice) There is no turn-by-turn map or voice guidance. Voice guidance commands end with the words “if possible.” This 
is to remind the driver to verify all traffic restrictions before 
making a maneuver.
Directions list A direction list is typically not available. However, 
depending on your route, directions are provided to 
help you reach the first available verified road. A direction list is provided showing street names and turn 
symbols in pink.

When I drive at night, the screen is bright and will not switch 
to the night display mode. Why? The system thinks it is in Day
 display mode. Verify the following: The 
display mode in Setup is set to  Auto, the dash brightness is not set to 
maximum (must adjust with headlights on), and  Map Color in Setup is set 
to  Black  for Night. See  Display on page 78.
The daytime  map screen is dark like the night display mode, 
and it is hard to see. Why? Verify the following: The display mode in Setup is set to 
Auto, and Map 
Color in Setup is set to  White for Day. See  Display on page 78.
During the day, I turned on the lights because it started to 
rain, but the screen went dark. How can I make it still display 
day mode? Adjust the dash brightness (+) button (with headlights on) to full brightness. 
Remember to set it back to a medium setting, or at night, the screen will be 
bright. See 
Display on page 78.
How can I input my destination using map coordinates? The naviga tion system was not designed for this. However, you can view 
the coordinates of an address by touching the vehicle position icon on the 
map. See  Map Screen Legend  on page 52.
How do I change or remove my PIN? Go  to “Personal Information” in the Setup screen (second), and select  PIN 
Number . Select User 1 or User 2  and enter your existing PIN, and then 
you have the choice to change or remove the PIN. See page 84.
I forgot the PIN for Home, or the PIN for personal addresses 
(User 1 or User 2). How do I reset it? PINs are optional. See in
formation regarding PINs on page 84. Your dealer 
can reset the PIN for you.
CALL  is not available on the  Calculate route to screen. 
Why? Your phone is not paired to HFL, or if 
your phone is paired, it is in use or 
does not have good coverage; press the  HFL BACK button.
