Main Menu Introduction Manual Overview The manual is divided into the following sections: • Getting started - A basic introduction that discusses the controls and how to communicate with the system. • Entering a Destination - How to enter an address or locate a point of interest (POI). • Driving to your Destination - An explanation of the map features, guidance, and cautions.
Main Menu Introduction The navigation system applies this 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 Interface Dial or voice control.
Main Menu Introduction WARNING Using the navigation system while driving can take your attention away from the road, causing a crash in which you could be seriously injured or killed. Follow all operating instructions and safety information in this manual. While driving, do not look at the screen or operate the system controls for more than a second or so at a time, and only after deciding you can do so safely.
Main Menu Introduction Verified streets (dark colored) Unverified streets (light colored) When displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and include interstate freeways and major roads connecting cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include residential streets away from the center of a town. Street color Shown on daytime map screen as black or red, such as interstate freeways.

Basic Settings From the Setup screen (second), say or select Basic Settings and the following screen appears: NOTE: To cancel the deletion of Previous Destinations, press the CANCEL button before performing step 4. Units (mile or km) Allows you to select the units for the entire system (mile or km).
Main Menu System Set-up Routing & Guidance From the Setup screen (second), say or select Routing & Guidance and the following screen appears: Rerouting If Rerouting is set to AUTOMATIC and you deviate from the route, you will see “Recalculating...” at the top of the screen for several seconds as the system calculates a new route. This is followed by new routing instructions. If Rerouting is set to MANUAL, you will hear a tone when the “Off route” message is displayed.
Main Menu System Set-up Unverified Area Routing Allows you to receive turn-by-turn map and voice guidance in unverified areas when on route to a destination (see Map Overview on page 6). The chart below illustrates the routing differences with this setting ON or OFF. Decision: Why choose ON or OFF? Unverified Area Routing: OFF (factory default) Unverified Area Routing: ON The driver wishes to navigate manually by using the navigation map and choosing the streets that lead to the destination.
Main Menu System Set-up Unverified Area Routing When driving to your destination, you have the choice of using or not using “unverified” roads. You make this choice in the Setup screen. The next few pages contain an example of a route to a destination in an unverified area explaining the routing differences found in unverified areas. Because both routes bypass or use unverified streets, an initial Disclaimer screen is provided. It is recommended that you stop and review the map.
Main Menu System Set-up With Unverified Area Routing OFF, the driver chose to take a shortcut, and avoid the long route. The moment you enter an unverified street, a caution box appears on the screen, and is read by the voice. This lets you know that you are about to enter an unverified area and that you will be following a dotted “vector line” that points to your destination.
Main Menu System Set-up With Unverified Area Routing OFF, you are presented with a blue “vector line” that always points to the destination. You must manually choose streets from the map that will lead to your destination. No guidance is provided, and there are no directions to the destination. With Unverified Area Routing ON, a blue/pink route line is shown for unverified segments. Voice guidance commands in unverified areas always end with “if possible.
Main Menu System Set-up Edit Avoid Area This function allows you to select areas you wish to avoid when calculating a route to your destination. You can select up to five areas to avoid. You may wish to set up an “avoid area” to route around long term road construction, closures, or any area you wish to avoid. If you enter a route that takes you through or into an “avoid area,” a pop-up box will warn you that your route takes you into one of these areas.
Main Menu System Set-up After selecting the choice, a map screen will be displayed. Rotate the Interface Dial knob to select the map scale (available scales are 1/20, 1/8, and 1/4 mile scales). Use the Interface Dial to move the crosshairs (red circle) to the desired start point and push in on the Interface Dial to “set” the start point. Then move the Interface Dial in a straight or diagonal direction to encompass the area to be avoided.
Main Menu System Set-up NOTE: • You can select areas to avoid, however you cannot select roads or areas that you want the system to use for routing. • If you are drawing a box around a road as an area to avoid, ensure the following: When you draw the box, make sure that the road or portion of a road that you encircled includes an intersection. For instance, in the example below, highway 213 will be avoided, but Van Ness will not be avoided because it lacks an intersection in the enclosed box.
Main Menu System Set-up For “Places along the route,” the system looks in front of you within a corridor width specified by your values for “On Freeways” or “On Surface Street.” The system checks the upcoming area, based on your input. For “Places around the destination,” the system searches outwards in a spiral from the destination. In this case, specific search values are not needed; the matches are displayed in order of distance from destination.
Main Menu System Set-up Auto Daylight Sets automatic daylight saving time ON or OFF. If set to ON the navi clock will automatically “spring ahead” or “fall behind” by one hour when a daylight savings 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. The dates that the navi switches between standard and daylight savings time are not triggered by GPS satellite signals.
Main Menu System Set-up Daylight Savings Time (DST) Selection (Change DST schedule) This option lets you select the schedule (April-October, or MarchNovember) when daylight savings time will automatically occur in your navi. The system default is the new 2007 “March-November” schedule. During 2008-2009, it is possible that this new change will be canceled and returned back to the previous “AprilOctober” schedule. If so, simply change the schedule in this setting back to the “April-October” schedule.
Main Menu System Set-up After you have traveled approximately 1/2 mile away from a mapped road, the system will display a series of white dots on the map screen to show the path you have traveled. This is provided so you can follow the dots to backtrack to the mapped road you originally left. Tracking continues until you reach a mapped road. See Off-road Tracking on page 67. Correct Vehicle Position The system relies on satellites for positioning information.
Main Menu System Set-up 4. Rotate the Interface Dial knob so the vehicle position arrowhead is pointing in the correct direction, and push in on the Interface Dial. The display will return to the previous screen. Color From the Setup screen (second), say or select Color and the following screen appears: Map Color Allows you to choose the map color from one of four colors for the Day and Night mode.
Main Menu System Set-up Menu Color Allows you to choose the menu color from one of five colors for the Day and Night mode. Switching Display Mode Pressing the Display mode button allows you to toggle through the screen display modes: Day, Night or Off. This button is the overriding control for the day/night display mode, and is the simplest way to control the display mode. See the chart below for an explanation of other day/night display mode adjustments and how they interact with each other.
Main Menu System Set-up I llumination control Priority Operation Override conditions Display mode button (see page 11) 1 Allows selection of Day, Night or Off display mode. This button has the highest priority and overrides all other display control adjustments listed below. When the car is restarted, the display mode previously selected by this button is canceled, and the display mode is determined by one of the controls below. Sunlight Sensor (Middle of dash near the windshield).
Main Menu System Set-up • To allow the Sunlight sensor to function properly, avoid blocking the sensor with loose articles (see Owner’s manual for location of sensor). • Remember that once the Display mode button is selected, the other display mode controls are overridden until the vehicle is restarted. NOTE: Loose articles in the center dash can block or interfere with the operation of the sunlight sensor. See the RL Owner’s manual for additional information regarding the dash brightness adjustment.
Main Menu System Set-up AcuraLink/Messages System Information Rear View Camera For complete details on setting up your AcuraLink messaging, refer to the AcuraLink section in your Owner’s manual. Or, you can go to the Owner Link section on the RL page in www.acura.com. From the Setup screen (second), say or select System Information and the following screen appears: Your vehicle is equipped with a rear view camera as shown in the illustration.
Main Menu System Set-up Since the rear view camera display area is limited, you should always back up slowly and carefully, and look behind you for obstacles. Rear View Camera Brightness Adjustment When in reverse, the Navi “hard” buttons are locked out, except the rotating portion of the Interface Dial (knob). Rotate the knob clockwise to make the camera image brighter, and counterclockwise to darken the image. This brightness adjustment is independent of the screen brightness adjustment in Setup.
Main Menu System Initialization System Initialization Entering the Security Code If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected), the navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use. If the battery goes dead or is disconnected for any reason, you will have to enter a security code for both the audio system and the navigation system before you can use it again.
Main Menu System Initialization GPS Initialization Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears: If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within ten minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears: Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Main Menu System Limitations Although your navigation system is one of the most highly sophisticated pieces of equipment you will find in a modern automobile, you may find during its use, that it has certain limitations. The system uses signals from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to aid in determining its current location. The GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Main Menu System Limitations Additionally, the mapping database contains verified and unverified maps. See Map Overview on page 6. A Disclaimer screen will warn you if your route includes unverified streets. Unverified streets may be missing from the map, in the wrong location, or have an incorrect name or address range. Exercise additional caution when driving in these unverified areas. The destination icon shows the approximate location of the destination.
Main Menu Database Limitations You will find that some points of interest (POI) may be missing when you search the database. This can be caused if at the time the database was gathered, the name was misspelled, the place was improperly categorized, or the POI change is not yet in the database. This means you may not find places listed that you know exist. This is also true for police agencies and hospitals. In outlying areas, facilities listed may not be the closest.
