Navigation System Setup at the TQI

The navigation system is basically ready to use when the vehicle is delivered to the dealership. Since the system interfaces with other systems in the vehicle, it is important to ensure that all of the systems are initialized so they will work properly for the client. To initialize the system, follow this procedure.

1. Do the normal TQI of the vehicle, including entering the audio system anti-theft code.

2. Verify that the XM� Satellite Radio dealer demo account is set up by tuning to XM stations 000, 001, 007, 009, 047, 122, 174, and 247. If you receive these stations, the demo account is fully active.

NOTE:
For 2009-10 TSXs and 2010 TSX V6s, XM Satellite Radio, XM Weather, and real-time traffic are free for the first 3 months. After 3 months, clients must subscribe to XM radio, XM Weather, and/or real-time traffic to continue receiving coverage by calling 800-852-9696, or online at www.xmradio.com. They will need their XM radio ID (displayed when you tune to channel 0) and a credit card.





3. If the navigation diagnostic screen (shown) is displayed, do the following. If not, go to step 4.

^ Press and hold the MENU, MAP/GUIDE, and CANCEL buttons at the same time until the Select diagnosis menu screen comes up. Then release the buttons.

^ Press and hold the MAP/GUIDE button for at least 15 seconds.

^ Select Complete on the screen, then select Return twice to exit the diagnostic mode.

4. Start the engine, and move the vehicle outside, away from buildings and power lines. Then enter the 4-digit 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 on the iN (Interactive Network) by using the anti-theft code option and the navigation unit serial number. To get the serial number, enter Diagnostic Mode. From the Select Diagnosis Items screen, select Detail Information & Setting, select Unit Check, and then select ECU Info (refer to the Navigation section of the 200~10 TSX Service Manual or the 2010 TSX V6 Service Manual), or look on the underside of the navigation unit.

^ If you cannot find the code on the iN, contact American Honda's Warranty Department.

^ If the anti-theft code does not work, try entering 0000 (four zeros) as the code. If the system accepts this, replace the navigation control unit.





5. The following instructions appear on the screen to indicate the system is initializing (determining its location from the GPS satellites). Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE:
The average initialization takes about 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes. If initialization completes within 10 minutes, the display 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 will not automatically exit to the globe screen when the initialization is complete. Do not immediately follow the instructions on the screen. After 30 minutes, try restarting the vehicle to see if the navigation system completed the initialization. If not, follow the instructions on the screen.

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 service manual for diagnostic information.

7. When initialization is complete, the disclaimer screen appears. Select OK.

NOTE:
Do not enter a destination yet. For the navigation system to calculate a route, it must align the current location to a mapped road (map matching). This happens when you start driving.

8. Drive the vehicle at least a half-mile from your dealership, and find a safe place to park. Then set the map scale to 1/20 by turning the interface dial clockwise.

^ 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 does not "dog track" or spin.

^ Make sure the VP icon smoothly follows the vehicle's maneuvers as you make turns.

^ After driving a few hundred feet on a road that is displayed on the map, the name of the road you are driving on should appear across the bottom of the screen.

NOTE:
Refer to the service manual symptom troubleshooting if the navigation system fails to map-match after the vehicle is driven for more than a couple of miles on a displayed road.

9. With the map screen displayed, press and release the NAVI TALK button.

10. When you hear the beep, say "find the nearest Acura dealer." The system should display a list of Acura dealers.

11. Turn the interface dial to highlight your dealership, then push in on the ENTER button.

12. On the Calculate Route to screen, select OK.

13. The system then calculates a route and displays it as a blue line. If you are in a rural area with unverified roads, you may see a blue vector line pointing in the direction of your destination or a blue/pink dotted line.

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 displayed, check the system interaction with the audio system and the lower display. Press and release the NAVI TALK button. After the beep, say "XM channel 122." The lower display should change to XM channel 122 and show CNN News.

16. With the map screen displayed, check the system interaction with the climate control system. Turn on the climate control system by selecting AUTO. Then press and release the NAVI TALK button. After the beep, say "temperature 68 degrees." The lower display should change to 68 degrees.

17. The time shown by the system should be 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 Other screen, and set Auto Daylight to OFF.

If your dealership is located near a time zone boundary, set Auto Time Zone by GPS to OFF.

The clock then keeps the "home" time if the client routinely drives across the time zone boundary.

18. Press the DISPLAY MODE button to verify that the display changes between the Day, Night, and OFF modes.

19. If your dealership is located in a metropolitan area that has traffic incident or traffic flow data available (see ACURALINK REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION), do this:

^ Select one of the traffic map scales (1/2-, 1-, 2-, or 5-mile scales) by rotating the dial.

^ Use the interface dial to scroll to the downtown area of your city. Freeways and other main roads should show traffic flow data as red, yellow, or green lines for traffic flow in one or both directions on the road.

^ Small diamond-shaped "traffic incident" icons may be shown. If so, scroll over an icon and press in the interface dial to see the details.

^ Partially displayed traffic data does not indicate 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 it is not displaying on the screen, refer to the Navigation section of the applicable service manual.

20. Press the SETUP button, or use the voice control system and say "Set up." Then verify these settings:

^ Volume is set to the midrange.

^ Brightness is set so the display can be seen in bright sunlight.

21. In the setup mode, select Other, then Personal Information, then Previous Destinations. Follow the screen prompts to delete all previous destinations except your dealership.
