Navigation System57
RIDGELINE KA  31SJC850
Map OrientationThe map can be orientated two ways:
 North-up: North pointing up as you 
would normally view a paper map.
 Heading-up: The map constantly  rotates so the road you are driving on 
always points up (as you see the road 
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols 
always shows the direction north. Touch the Map Orientation icon on the 
map
 screen to switch between the 
available orientation, or say “Display 
heading up” or “Display north up.”
In the larger map scales (above 
1 mile or 1.6 kilometer), the map is 
always oriented with north facing 
upward. You cannot change the 
orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice 
commands, see  Voice Command Index  
on page 138.
Destination IconThe destination icon only shows the 
approximate location of the destination. 
This occurs because a city block can 
have as many as 100 possible addresses 
(for example, the 1400 block is followed 
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only 
a portion of the 100 possible addresses 
(for example, in the 1400 block, the 
addresses may only go up to 1425 
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore, 
the address 1425 will be shown a 
quarter of the way down the block by 
the system instead of near the end of the 
block where the destin ation is actually 
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map 
showing your destin ation. Using voice 
control, say “Display  destination map.”

Day and Night . The recommended 
setting is  Auto, which automatically 
switches the screen between  Day and 
Night  modes as you tu rn the headlights 
on or off.
You can select  Day or Night  mode to 
override the  Auto mode. This is a 
useful feature for drivers that like to use 
headlights during the day and want to 
temporarily override  Night mode. 
However, the screen in  Day mode will 
be extremely bright at night.

System Setup
When you select Clock in Setup or the 
Disclaimer screen times out, the  clock 
screen is displayed (see page 17).DISPLAY OFFWhen you touch the DISPLAY OFF  
button, the screen is turned off. Voice 
guidance will continue to work in this 
mode. To turn on the screen, press any 
navigation or voice control button.Clock TypeAllows you to choose the design of the 
clock  screen from one of three  Clock 
Types and one of two  Background 
images.
Say or select  Return to return to the 
previous screen.
Guidance PromptsWhile you drive to yo ur destination, the 
system displays and announces 
guidance prompts for your next 
maneuver. This setting allows you to 
adjust the number of guidance prompts 
before each maneuver. The settings 
Min , Normal , and Max are described 
below. The factory default is  Normal, 
so you can adequately prepare for the 
next maneuver. If you wish to change 
the number of guidance prompts, select 
your preferred setting,  as shown in the 
following table.
*Uses street name in guidance phrase. NOTE:
To temporarily turn 
off voice guidance 
prompts, select  Off for the “Volume” 
setting in Setup.
ContrastYou can adjust the contrast and black 
level. Adjusting these settings can make 
the display easier to read.
NOTE:
You can have separate daytime and 
nighttime settings for Brightness, 
Contrast, and Black Level. Adjust each 
setting when the disp lay is in either 
daytime or nighttime mode.

System Setup
Correct Vehicle PositionThe system relies on satellites for 
positioning information. Buildings, 
tunnels, and other objects can block or 
reflect these signals, requiring the 
system to use “dead reckoning” to 
determine your location and direction.
This can sometimes lead to small errors 
in positioning, such as showing you on 
an adjacent street.
NOTE:
Using this function to adjust vehicle 
position is not recommended. When the 
system acquires a GPS signal, it will 
automatically place the vehicle in the 
correct location. If you choose to do this, follow these 
steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Select 
Adjust, and the system will 
display a map adjustment screen.
3. Use the  ZOOM buttons and the 
joystick to move the location 
arrowhead to the correct location. 
Touch the arrow buttons on the 
bottom of the screen to rotate the 
direction arrows so the vehicle 
position is pointing  in the correct 
direction. NOTE:
If you continually have
 to do this, there 
are either problems in the database or 
GPS reception problems. See 
Accessories Precautions  on page 5.
4. When you have finished, press the  joystick or select  Done to return to 
the previous screen.
5. As you drive, the current road will be  displayed at the bottom of the screen.00_RIDGELINE_KA.book  95 ページ  2011年9月14日 水曜日 午前9時38分

System Setup
Clock AdjustmentFrom the Setup screen (second), say or 
select  Clock Adjustment  and the 
following screen appears:
This screen allows y ou to set or adjust 
the following:
 Auto Daylight Saving Time  (Default = On)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS  (Default = On)
 DST (Daylight Saving Time)  Selection 
(change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s 
settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving TimeSets automatic daylight saving time  On 
or  Off . If set to  On, the clock will 
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall 
back” by one hour when a daylight 
saving time change occurs. If you reside 
in a state or area where daylight saving 
time is not used, then you may want to 
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylight Saving Time to 
On , the daylight saving time function is 
activated even in an area that does not 
use daylight saving time.
The federal government mandated that 
starting in 2007, daylight saving time 
begins in March and ends in November 
instead of the old schedule from April to 
October. The schedules for the time changes are 
stored in the software and can be 
selected in the 
DST schedule 
selection  screen. Therefore, your clock 
will change based on the daylight saving 
time schedule.
NOTE:
The automatic clock setting feature 
relies on a satellite signal. It will not 
work correctly in Hawaii and Alaska.

RIDGELINE KA  31SJC850
System SetupRearview CameraYour vehicle is equipped with a 
rearview camera as shown in the 
illustration.
Whenever you shift to R (Reverse) with 
the ignition switch in the ON (II) 
position, the rear view is shown on the 
navigation screen. For the best image, 
always keep the rearview camera lens 
clean, and be sure it is not covered.
Since the rearview camera display area 
is limited, you should always back up 
slowly and carefully, and look behind 
you for obstacles.NOTE:
 The rearview camera has a special 
lens that makes distances appear 
closer than they actually are.
 The rearview camera display has a 
limited range, and the size and 
position of objects around the area 
may appear differe nt from reality. 
Make sure to check the surrounding 
area carefully.
Rearview Camera Brightness 
AdjustmentWhen the vehicle is in reverse, the touch 
screen and navigation “hard” buttons 
are locked out, except the  ZOOM 
buttons. Touching the “ ▼” or “ ▲” 
button allows you to adjust the 
brightness of the rearview camera 
image. This brightness adjustment is 
independent of the screen brightness 
adjustment in Setup.
NOTE:
 The camera brightness cannot be  adjusted by voice control.
 Slight delays can occur when  switching to the camera image, or 
switching back to the  map/menu 
screen. This is normal.

This occurs because a city block can 
have as many as 100 possible addresses 
(for example, the 1400 block is followed 
by the 1500 block). Since most cities 
use only a portion of the 100 possible

the way down the block by the system 
instead of at the end of the block where 
the destination is actually located.
You may find that the system 
occasionally reboots. This is indicated 
by the display returning to the  globe 
screen. A reboot can be caused by a 
number of things, such as extreme 
temperatures or shock from bumpy 
roads. It does not necessarily indicate a 
problem that requires service. If this 
happens frequently, please see your 
dealer.00_RIDGELINE_KA.book  104 ページ  2011年9月14日 水曜日 午前9時38分
