4. After the system has initialized, do the map
matching by driving the vehicle on a road until the
road name appears at the bottom of the map
screen.
NOTE:
• If a vehicle is relocated from Hawaii to the mainland,
you must change the Coverage area to US.
• When you change the coverage area, any previous
destinations, address book, and other system
settings are changed to the factory defaults.
• XM Satellite Radio is not available in Hawaii, so
there is no AcuraLink or real-time traffic coverage.
ACURALINK REAL-TIME TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Current traffic information can be displayed by the
system in many metropolitan areas. Information is
displayed as traffic flow bands of different colors on
selected roads, or as diamond-shaped icons.
The amount of traffic coverage varies from city to city.
The Acura website provides a page with an up-to-date
list of the current cities with traffic coverage, and the
actual roads covered within each city. The site also
provides a demonstration of the system that explains
the meaning of traffic flow color bands and incident
icons displayed on the map.
The traffic page can be found by clicking the "mini site"
link at www.acura.com/realtimetraffic.

ORDERING A DVD
Replacement DVDs can be ordered online at
www.acuranavi.com. Select Order Navigation DVD.
You can also call the Acura Disc Fulfillment Center at
888-549-3798. Both methods require a credit card.
The DVD for this model has a white label and cannot
be ordered through the parts system. The following
DVDs will not work in this navigation system:
• Earlier model navigation DVDs (black label)
• Map software programs manufactured by other
companies
• DVD movies or DVDs containing audio recordings
Updated DVDs are usually available for purchase in
the fall of each year. They may contain the following:
• Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI)
coverage
• Fixes for minor software bugs
• Additional features
NOTE:
• Map matching must be done any time the DVD is
removed or replaced. This consists of driving on a
mapped road until the road name shows up at the
bottom of the map screen.
• Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed
basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD
may undergo half a dozen "software only" version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually, only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remains
unchanged.
• Never promise clients future free updates. There are
no free programs for updating the navigation DVD.
The online DVD order site provides information when
an update for a particular DVD is available.
• Damaged discs are not covered by warranty unless
the disc is damaged by the navigation unit.
