Navigation System Setup at TQI
The navigation system must be allowed to initialize itself before use. During initialization, the system obtains the orbital information of the GPS satellites. When initialization is complete, the system can "locate" itself and function normally. To initialize the system, follow this procedure.1. Perform the normal TQI of the vehicle, including the audio system. The voice of the navigation system will not function if the anti-theft code for the audio system has not been entered.
2. Start the engine, and move the vehicle outside, away from buildings and power lines. Then enter the security code for the navigation system. The code is on the Navigation Anti-Theft Code card.
NOTE:
If the Anti-Theft Code card is lost, you can find the code with the Interactive Network (iN) by using the Anti-Theft Code option and the serial number of the navigation control unit. If the serial number cannot be found, you can obtain the serial number from the bottom of the navigation control unit, or you can obtain it from the Diagnostic menu (refer to the service manual). If you cannot find the code with iN, contact the Automobile Warranty Department at 310-753-3240
3. The following instructions appear on the screen to indicate the system is initializing. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
The average initialization takes about 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
4. If the system does not initialize, the screen shown appears. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
The initialization screen may appear after battery voltage to the navigation control unit has been disconnected for more than 5 minutes. If this occurs, follow the on-screen instructions. If you are still unable to obtain GPS initialization, refer to the Navigation section of the service manual for diagnostic information.
5. When initialization is complete, the disclaimer screen appears. Touch "OK."
NOTE:
Do not enter a destination yet. In order for the navigation system to calculate a route, it must align the current location to a mapped road (map matching). This will occur when you start driving.
6. Drive the vehicle at least a half mile from your dealership, then find a safe place to park.
7. Press the MENU button.
8. From the "Enter destination by:" menu, select "Places."
9. From the "Find place by:" menu, select "Category."
10. From the "Choose a category:" menu, select "Auto Service."
11. From the "Sub-category:" menu, select "Acura Dealer."
12. From the "Choose one of the following:" menu, select "Sort by Distance to Travel."
13. Select your dealership from the screen listings, then select "OK" on the next screen.
NOTE:
If your dealer location is not correct or needs to be changed, report it to your District Parts and Service Manager (DPSM).
14. If your dealership is in a detailed coverage area, the map will show a blue highlighted route. Follow the voice guidance back to the dealership. If your dealership is not in a detailed coverage area, you may see a blue dotted "vector line" pointing to your dealership instead of the blue highlighted route. Exercise caution, and use the map to guide you back.
15. While viewing a map, verify that the voice control system is working properly by pushing the TALK button and saying a command, such as "Display 1/2 mile scale" or "Display 1/5 mile scale".
16. Press the AC-INFO button, then select Setup, or use the voice control system and say "Setup". Then verity these settings by touch or with the joystick:
^ Volume set to the midrange (Setup screen # 1)
^ Display set to Auto (Setup screen # 1)
^ Reroute set to Auto (Setup screen # 3)
17. In Setup screen # 2, touch "Delete Previous Destinations" to bring up the "Select item to delete:" menu. Select and delete any previous destinations except your dealership.
15. In Setup screen # 2, touch "Time Zone/Clock" to adjust the clock to the correct time. This time is used only for the voice command "What time is it?" It does not set the time on the radio.
NOTE:
^ If you live in a state or part of a state (like AZ or IN) that does not observe Daylight Savings time, then set the "Auto Daylight Savings Time" setting to OFF.
^ If the dealership is located very near a time zone boundary, then set the "Auto Time Zone by GPS" to OFF. This will allow the vehicle clock to retain the same time if the customer routinely travels back and forth across the time zone boundary.
19. Press the AC-INFO button, and select the Trip Computer. Make sure the "Reset with refuel" option is set to ON.
20. Refuel the vehicle, then go back to the Trip Computer and verify that Avg., E/T, and Trip displays have reset.
21. Touch "Previous" to display the previous Trip History screen.
NOTE:
The history button only becomes operational after the OK prompt is touched on the disclaimer screen.
22. Return to the Main menu, then clean the screen with a soft damp cloth. You may use a mild cleaner intended for eyeglasses or computer screens. Harsher chemicals may damage the screen.
NOTE:
Do not use shop towels, paper towels, or tissues; they can scratch or damage the screen.
