HANG-UP/BACK button - Press and release this button to return to the previous screen.

Microphone - Picks up your voice commands.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM SETUP AT THE PDI

The navigation system is basically ready to use when the vehicle is delivered to the dealership. This system has features to reduce the chance of driver distraction. Some touch screen menus are limited or unavailable (grayed out) while driving to encourage using voice commands for the navigation and audio systems.

Since it interfaces with other vehicle systems, it is important that all of the systems are initialized. To initialize the navigation system, follow these steps:

1. Do the regular PDI of the vehicle.
2. You may see the factory In Line Diag  screen. If so, do the following. If not, go to step 3.
   • Select Start Diag  .
   • Press all of the buttons on the steering wheel that you see in the screen. They should turn green.
   • Make a loud sound, like snapping your fingers or clapping your hands, by the microphone to complete the mic test.
   • When you have completed all of the tests, the icons will be green. Select Exit Diag  to exit the screen.
   • Turn the ignition to OFF and then to ON to make sure the In Line Diag  screen does not reappear.
3. Start the engine, and park the vehicle in an open area away from trees, power lines, and tall buildings. Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical accessories near the GPS antenna. If needed, press the audio-navigation unit power button to turn on the unit. When the Enter Code  screen appears, press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds. This lets the PCM check that the vehicle's VIN matches the one saved in the unit. You will hear a long beep when the unit exits the anti-theft mode. Release the button.
   NOTE:

   • If the unit does not exit the anti-theft mode, enter the anti-theft code using the touch screen display. There are two code labels in a small plastic bag in the glove box.
   • If the code is lost or unavailable, you can easily get it from the Interactive Network (iN) using the navigation system serial number. You do not need to remove the unit to get the serial number.

     To get the serial number and the code, do this:

     • Press and hold the MENU, NAVI, and BACK buttons at the same time.
     • At the Select Diagnosis Items  screen, select Detail Information & Settings, Unit Check,  then ECU Info  . The system runs a short diagnostic, then the unit serial number appears at the bottom of the screen.
     • Go to Anti-Theft Code Inquiry  on the iN, and look up the five-digit anti-theft code.
     • If the code does not work, call the American Honda Warranty department at 310-783-3240  . Do not call Tech Line.
4. Attach one of the code labels to the PDI repair order, and leave the other in the bag. Return the bag to the glove box.
5. After the VIN check is complete, this screen appears, telling you the system is initializing (acquiring its location from the GPS satellites). Keep watching the screen.
   NOTE: Initialization averages about 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes. If it completes within 10 minutes, the screen changes to the globe screen.
6. If the system does not initialize within 10 minutes, a second screen (shown below) appears. The system is still initializing but it will not automatically change to the globe screen when the initialization is complete. Do not  follow the screen instructions right away. After 30 minutes, try restarting the engine to see if the system completed the initialization. If it did not, then follow the screen instructions.
   NOTE: The initializing screen may appear after battery voltage to the audio-navigation unit has been disconnected for more than 5 minutes. If that happens, follow the screen instructions. If you are still unable to get GPS initialization, do a search in the electronic service manual for diagnostic information using keyword GPS  .
7. When initialization is complete, this screen appears. Select OK  .
   NOTE: Do not enter a destination yet. For the system to calculate a route, it must align the current location to a mapped road (map matching). This happens when you start driving.
8. Make sure that the XM Satellite Radio dealer demo account is active by tuning to several channels within the full XM lineup. To see the full list of channels, go to siriusxm.com  .
   NOTE:

   • For models with navigation, XM Satellite Radio is free to customers for the first 3 months. To keep getting coverage after that, they must subscribe by calling 800-852-9696  or going to www.siriusxm.com.  They will need their eight-character radio ID (shown when tuned to channel 0) and a major credit card.
   • XM Satellite Radio is not available in Hawaii.
   • Traffic (TMC) is broadcast on the FM radio band and is free in available areas. See TMC (TRAFFIC MESSAGE CHANNEL) INFORMATION .
9. Drive the vehicle at least a half-mile from your dealership, and find a safe place to park. Set the map scale to 1/20.
   • Make sure the VP (vehicle position) icon moves smoothly as you drive and does not jerk from one point to another. Also make sure the icon points in the direction the vehicle is traveling; it should not dog track or spin.
   • After driving a few hundred feet, you should see the name of the road you are driving on at the bottom of the screen. The system is now map-matched.
   NOTE: If the system fails to map-match after driving more than a couple of miles on a displayed road, see the symptom troubleshooting in the electronic service manual.
10. With the map screen shown, press and release the TALK button.
11. After you hear the beep, say "Find nearest Honda dealer." You should see a list of Honda dealers.
12. Turn the interface dial to select your dealership by highlighting it, then push in on the ENTER button.
13. On the Calculate Route to  screen, select OK  . The system then calculates a route and shows it as a blue line. If you are in an area with unverified roads, you may see a blue vector line or a blue/pink dotted line pointing in the direction of your destination.
14. Follow the voice guidance back to your dealership. The voice guidance should work even with the audio system turned off.
15. With the map screen shown, check the system interaction with the audio system and the lower display. Press and release the TALK button. After the beep, say "XM channel 115." The lower display should change to XM channel 115.
16. With the map screen shown, check the system interaction with the climate control system. Turn it on by selecting AUTO  . Then press and release the TALK button. After the beep, say "Temperature 68 degrees." The lower display should change to 68 degrees.
17. Make sure the time shown by the system is correct; the system gets it from the GPS satellites. For areas that do not follow daylight saving time, you may have to adjust the time settings. Go to Clock Adjustment  in the Setup  screen, and set Auto Daylight  to OFF  .
    NOTE: If your dealership is near a time zone boundary, set Auto Time Zone by GPS  to OFF  . The clock then keeps the home time if the customer routinely drives across the time zone boundary.
18. Press the DISPLAY MODE button to make sure that the display changes between the Day  , Night  , and OFF  modes.
19. If your dealership is in a metropolitan area that has traffic incident or traffic flow data available (see TMC (TRAFFIC MESSAGE CHANNEL) INFORMATION ), do this:
    • Turn the interface dial to select one of the traffic map scales (1/20-, 1/8-, 1/4-, 1/2-, 1-, 2-, or 5-mile).
    • Use the interface dial to scroll to the downtown area of your city. If your metro area has traffic flow data, freeways and other main roads should show this data as red, yellow, or green lines in one or both directions.
    • You may see small diamond-shaped traffic incident icons. If so, scroll over one and press in the interface dial to see the details.
    • Partially shown traffic data does not mean a problem with the navigation system. Traffic flow and density varies from day to day and from one road to another. If your area has traffic, but you cannot see it on the screen, do an online search using keyword TRAFFIC  .
20. Clear the HDD to delete any information that was saved during the PDI:
    • Turn the ignition to ON.
    • Turn on the audio-navigation unit.
    • Press and hold the MENU, NAVI, and BACK buttons at the same time until the Select Diagnosis Items  screen appears. Then, release the buttons.
    • Select Detail Information & Setting  then Function setup  .
    • Select All clear  . A confirmation screen appears. Select Yes  .
    • A second confirmation screen appears. Select Yes  again.

REARVIEW CAMERA

With the ignition turned to ON, shift into Reverse. The rearview image appears on the navigation screen. Make sure the distance guidelines appear on the screen. Change the camera views by pushing in on the interface dial. Turn the dial to adjust the image brightness. The rearview camera brightness adjustment is not affected by the screen brightness adjustment in Setup  .

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you think you found any problems with the navigation system during the PDI or after installing replacement parts to repair the system, go to the electronic service manual and enter keywords HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT  . From the list, select How to Troubleshoot the Navigation System  .

MAP COVERAGE AREAS
