Operation in Alaska and

Hawaii

Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work correctly in Alaska
and Hawaii. These functions include but
are not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.

Alaska

If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message "Vehicle is out of the
database..." will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
122 Navigation System
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio do not
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii
also have XM, but will not function
because the XM satellites (aimed toward
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to "unverified" roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
• Unverified road descriptions (see
page 6 and 86).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related
to unverified roads (see page 63).
2009 Ridgeline
• Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 87).
• When zooming in and out, there is no
350-mile scale for Hawaii.
Other Map Issues
• See the coverage section for a list of
islands with coverage (see page 109).
• Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the "Freeway Exit
Info" icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
