NAVIGATION SYSTEM CONTROLS
The buttons listed above are used in this service bulletin. For more information on the button functions, see Getting Started in the navigation system manual.
VOICE CONTROL SYSTEM
The navigation system features a voice control system which allows you to operate most of the navigation and audio with only your voice. The microphone for the system is in the ceiling. To interact with the navigation system, use the NAVI TALK and NAVI BACK buttons. This is the primary way to give commands to the system. The system display buttons and touch screen are a secondary method to use the navigation system.
NOTE:
The HFL also uses the microphone in the ceiling.
NAVI TALK button - Press and release this button to activate the voice control system. After pressing and releasing the NAVI TALK button, wait for the beep, and then speak the command.
NAVI BACK button - This does the same function as the CANCEL button. Press this button to return to the previous display. After the previous display appears, the system prompts you for a command, and then beeps. Press and release the NAVI TALK button to give the desired command.
Improving Recognition
If the system does not understand your voice commands, refer to Improving Voice Recognition in the navigation system manual.
NOTE:
^ The navigation system does not respond, and displays an error message, if you have activated the HFL TALK button. Press the HFL BACK button before using the navigation system.
^ You must be in the driver's seat to use voice commands with the navigation system.
NAVIGATION DVD INSTALLATION
The 2010 Insight navigation unit does not arrive with a pre-installed DVD like the navigation systems in most other models. To install the DVD, do this:
1. Make sure fuse No. 1 (15 A) was installed in the under-hood fuse/relay box during the normal PDI of the vehicle. Refer to Service Bulletin 09-019, 2010 Insight: PDI Information.
NOTE:
The Insight uses a turquoise DVD. If you cannot find the DVD, order a replacement from the Honda Disc Fulfillment Center (see ORDERING A NAVIGATION DVD). For reimbursement of the replacement DVD cost, use the iN (Interactive Network) to file a warranty "transportation claim."
2. Locate the turquoise-colored navigation DVD stowed in a plastic jewel case with the owner's manuals in the glove box.
3. Start the engine.
4. Push the OPEN button to tilt down the screen.
NOTE:
Voice commands are disabled when the screen is tilted down.
5. Open the DVD cover by pressing its catch and pulling down. Do not remove the cover.
6. Gently insert the turquoise-colored DVD, label side up, into the navigation DVD slot. The DVD is automatically pulled into the unit.
7. Close the DVD cover.
NOTE:
If the navigation display does not close completely, carefully check for objects lodged behind or under the display. Also check for a partially inserted CD or a PC card adapter that is missing its memory chip.
8. Press the CLOSE button. The screen tilts up, and the navigation software loads automatically. This may take several minutes.
9. At the Enter Code screen, enter the 4-digit navigation code. (The code card with the 4-digit code is in the glove box.) If you cannot find the code, refer to step 3 under NAVIGATION SYSTEM SETUP AT PDI for more information.
NAVIGATION SYSTEM SETUP AT PDI
The navigation 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 customer. To initialize the navigation system, do this:
1. Make sure the normal PDI of the vehicle has been done. Refer to Service Bulletin 09-019, 2010 Insight: PDI Information.
2. You might see this factory navigation diagnostic screen above. If so, do the following. If not, go to step 3.
^ Press and hold the MENU, MAP/GUIDE, and CANCEL buttons at the same time until the Select diagnosis screen comes up. Then release the buttons.
^ Press and hold the MAP/GUIDE button for at least 15 seconds.
^ Select Complete on the display, then select Return twice to exit the diagnostic mode.
3. Start the engine, and move the vehicle outside, away from buildings, tall trees, and power lines. Then enter the security code for the navigation system.
NOTE:
There are two code labels and a plastic code card located in a small plastic bag in the glove box.
^ Attach one of the labels to the code card, put it in the plastic bag, and return it to the glove box.
^ Attach the other label to the PDI repair order or put it in the plastic bag, and return it to the glove box for the customer.
NOTE:
Never attach a label to the side of the glove box or other location where both the serial number and code are easily visible. This defeats the purpose of the anti-theft protection.
If the code card is lost, the navigation system serial number can easily be obtained without removing the navigation unit. To get the code, do this:
^ Press and hold the MENU, MAP/GUIDE, and CANCEL buttons at the same time.
^ At the diagnosis menu, select Unit Check, then Navi ECU. The system runs a brief diagnostic, then the navigation unit serial number is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
^ Use the navigation Anti-theft code inquiry option on the iN (Interactive Network) to look up the 4-digit navigation anti-theft code.
^ If the code does not work, call the warranty department and ask them to verify the code(s).
4. The instructions shown above appear on the screen to indicate that the system is initializing (determining its location from the GPS satellites). Follow the onscreen instructions.
NOTE:
^ The average initialization takes about 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
^ Leave the engine running until the initialization is complete.
5. If the system does not initialize within 10 minutes, the screen shown above appears. Do not immediately follow the instructions on the screen. The system is still initializing but does not automatically exit to the screen above when initialization is complete. After 30 minutes, try restarting the engine to see if the navigation system completed the initialization. If not, follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE:
^ Make sure the GPS antenna connection on the back of the navigation unit is secure.
^ The initialization screen may appear after 12 V battery voltage to the navigation unit has been disconnected for more than 5 minutes. If this happens, follow the on-screen instructions. If you are still unable to obtain GPS initialization, refer to the service manual for diagnostic information.
6. When initialization is complete, the disclaimer screen appears. Touch 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.
7. Drive the vehicle at least a half-mile from your dealership, then find a safe place to park.
^ 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 should not "dog track" or spin.
^ Make sure the VP icon smoothly follows the vehicle maneuvers as you make turns.
^ After driving a few hundred feet, the name of the road you are driving on should appear on the bottom of the screen.
8. With the map screen displayed, press and release the NAVI TALK button.
9. After you hear the beep, say "Find the nearest Honda dealer." The system should display a list of Honda dealers.
10. Use the joystick to select your dealership by highlighting it, then pushing in on the joystick.
11. On the Calculate Route to screen, select OK.
12. 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.
13. Follow the voice guidance back to your dealership. The voice guidance should work even with the audio system turned off.
14. With the map screen displayed, check the system interaction with the audio system. Press and release the NAVI TALK button. After the beep, say "Radio tune to 95.5." The audio display should change to radio station 95.5, and show 95.5.
15. With the map screen displayed, check the system interaction with the climate control system. Press and release the NAVI TALK button. After the beep, say "Temperature 68 degrees." The climate control system display should change to 68 degrees.
16. The time shown by the system should be correct; the system gets it from the GPS satellites. Depending on the location of your dealership, you may have to adjust the time settings.
^ If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time, select Setup. Select More, then select Clock Adjustment. Set Auto Daylight Savings Time 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 customer routinely drives across the time zone boundary.
17. Turn the headlights on and off to verify that the display dims with the headlights on. If not, select Setup, set the display mode to AUTO, then set the dash brightness level to the midpoint with the headlights turned ON, and recheck.
18. Select Setup, or use the voice control system and say "Setup." Then verify these settings by touch or with the joystick:
^ Volume is set to midrange.
^ Brightness is set so the display can be seen in bright sunlight.
19. In Setup, select More, then Personal Information, then Previous Destinations. Follow the screen prompts to delete all previous destinations except your dealership.
20. Return to the main menu. If needed, 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.
System Limitations
If you think there are any problems with the navigation system during the PDI, or after installing replacement parts to repair the system, refer to the System Limitations and Database Limitations sections in the navigation system manual. This helps you to avoid replacing components when the issue may be a system characteristic.
The navigation system has these limitations:
^ The GPS (global positioning system) satellites used by the navigation system are operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. For security reasons, certain inaccuracies are built into the GPS. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred feet. If the navigation system indicates your position incorrectly, wait several seconds until it corrects itself. The system may also correct itself after you make a turn or cross a road.
^ The GPS antenna receives location information from orbiting satellites. Anything that blocks or interferes with the signal affects accuracy. The GPS signal can be blocked or interfered with (vehicle position shown incorrectly on the map) by:
- Aftermarket metallic window tinting above or to the sides of the GPS antenna.
- Aftermarket vehicle tracking systems mounted near the navigation unit or the display.
- Radar detectors, cell phones, chargers, or other aftermarket electronic accessories placed near the navigation unit or the display.
- Outside electrical interference from overhead power, trolley lines, or broadcast sources.
- Tall trees or buildings near or over the vehicle. They can cause the system to show the vehicle on an adjacent street. This should automatically correct itself when the obstruction is gone.
^ If the DVD cover on the navigation unit is opened or the DVD is removed, the system reboots. Scratches or fingerprints on the surface of the DVD can cause system errors. Always handle the DVD by its edges.
^ A DVD with a turquoise label (Canadian vehicles also have a turquoise label) is used for this system. It cannot be interchanged with a DVD from a different vehicle that has a different-colored label.
To minimize distractions, always use the voice control system to operate the navigation system while driving. Always verify the audio and visual route information by carefully observing roadway signs, signals, etc. Use your own good judgment, and obey traffic laws while driving.
NOTE:
If the location of your dealership is shown incorrectly or needs to be changed, report it to your DPSM.
MAP COVERAGE AREAS
The turquoise navigation DVD contains maps for the U.S. mainland, parts of southern Canada, and Hawaii (see HAWAII SYSTEM SETUP). The map coverage for the U.S. contains accurately mapped (verified) metropolitan areas and less accurate (unverified) rural coverage. In Canada, the database covers major metropolitan areas and major roads connecting those metropolitan areas. Coverage extends to about 100 miles from the U.S. border. A Canada-specific turquoise navigation DVD that provides coverage of northern Canada is available (see ORDERING A NAVIGATION DVD).
Detailed Coverage and Non-Detailed Coverage
Many cities and metropolitan areas are fully mapped with detailed coverage, while rural areas typically have less accurate, incomplete, or non-verified information. Refer to Introduction and Getting Started in the navigation system manual for more information.
For a list of current detailed coverage areas by country and state/province, refer to the navigation system manual or www.hondanavi.com. Online, select the View Current Coverage Map link, use the pull-down menu to select the vehicle Year and Model, then select View Coverage.
HAWAII SYSTEM SETUP
The turquoise navigation DVD contains maps for the U.S. mainland, parts of southern Canada, and Hawaii. If the vehicle is sold in Hawaii or relocated from the mainland to Hawaii, change the map coverage so the applicable maps are displayed. To change the map coverage for use in Hawaii, do this:
1. Press and hold the MENU, MAP/GUIDE, and CANCEL buttons at the same time. The display changes to the main diagnostic menu.
2. Select Coverage area. Then select Hawaii coverage. The system may reboot.
3. Start the vehicle, and move it to an open area so the system can acquire a GPS signal.
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.
ORDERING A NAVIGATION DVD
To order a replacement navigation DVD, go online to www.hondanavi.com, then select ORDER NAVIGATION DVD. You can also call the Honda Disc Fulfillment Center. Both methods require a credit card.
For more information about ordering the correct DVD for the vehicle, refer to Service Bulletin 05-032, Navigation System Information and DVD Information and Inspection.
NOTE:
New navigation DVDs can start production after a vehicle starts production, which may result in the same model year vehicle having a different navigation DVD version. This is normal. You do not need to replace the navigation DVD.
