11. Look at the audio unit display, and turn the TUNE
knob.
• If you can tune to channels 000, 001, 007, 009,
047, 122, 174, and 247, the dealer demo service
is activated. No further action is needed.
• If you can only tune to channels 000, 001, 174,
and 247, the dealer demo service is not yet
activated. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for up to 2
hours until the dealer demo service is activated.
• If, after 2 hours, you can only tune to channels
000, 001, 174, and 247, repeat steps
6 thru 10.
NOTE:
• The dealer demo service lasts for 7 months or until
the vehicle's RDR (retail delivery registration) is
submitted.
• After the vehicle is registered, the dealer demo
service converts to a client account. The client gets a
3-month trial service of all available non-premium
XM channels. If the client decides to end the service
after that time, the XM radio reverts to preview
mode. Normal AM and FM radio reception is not
affected by ending the service.
• The XM radio receives digital programming
broadcasts from two fixed-orbit satellites near the
equator along with a network of ground antennas
(repeaters). You will get the strongest signal if you
park the vehicle where there is a clear view of the
southern sky.
• The XM radio may lose reception when you are
driving through a tunnel, under an overpass, inside
a parking garage, or near the northern face of a
canyon or a mountain.
• To cut down on reception loss, the XM radio uses
a buffer. If the reception loss lasts longer than the
buffering period, the signal goes silent.
• Because the XM radio signal is digital, any reception
loss makes the signal go silent; the signal usually
does not fade like it does with a conventional radio.
• If you ever need to replace the XM radio receiver,
call XM Satellite Radio at (800) 852-9696. Be
prepared to give them your dealer number, the VIN,
and the XM radio ID numbers from the printed label
on the side of the old and the new receiver units.
• Your client's XM radio presets will be lost if you
disconnect the 12-volt battery or if it goes dead. Be
sure to write down the presets before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery.
Do the HandsFreeLink Operational Check
To confirm that the HFL (HandsFreeLink) system is
working and ready to use, start the vehicle, and hold
the HFL BACK button (on the steering wheel) for 10
seconds. The system should say, "The HandsFreeLink
system is OK."

Reset the AcuraLink Control Unit
When the No. 4 fuse is removed during vehicle
shipment, the AcuraLink control unit sets DTCs
(diagnostic trouble codes). These DTCs need to be
cleared during the TQI using this procedure:
NOTE: After installing the fuse, you must wait 30
seconds before doing this procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. On the navigation system disclaimer screen, select
OK by pressing the interface dial. (The interface
dial is the large knob at the center of the
dashboard. It has two parts: an outer knob and an
inner selector. The interface dial is used to control
several functions, including AcuraLink.)
3. Next, press and hold the MAP-GUIDE, MENU, and
CANCEL buttons at the same time, until the main
diagnostic screen is displayed.
4. Turn the interface dial to highlight XM (HIP), then
press the interface dial.
5. Turn the interface dial to highlight XM (HIP) ECU,
then press the interface dial.
6. Turn the interface dial to highlight Data Reset, then
press the interface dial.
7. Turn the interface dial to highlight Yes, then press
the interface dial.
8. Select OK by pressing the interface dial, then push
the interface dial to the left once.
9. Turn the interface dial to highlight Return, then
press the interface dial.
10. Again, turn the interface dial to highlight Return,
then press the interface dial. This returns you to the
navigation system screen.
If the above procedure does not work, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery for 30 seconds, then
reconnect it. Then repeat steps 1 thru 10.
NOTE: After reconnecting the battery, you must wait 30
seconds, then do the following:
• Reenter the audio unit anti-theft code.
• Reenter the navigation system code.
• Do the idle learn procedure.
