Acura 2009 MDX - Manual (Page 134)

134 Navigation System
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 AcuraLink,
NavTraffic, 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.
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, traffic
displays, and AcuraLink 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 , 93).
• Cautions and pop-up windows related
to unverified roads (see page 70 ).
• Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page
94 ).
• 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 120 ).
• The map scale “traffic” indicator,
shown beneath the map scale bar,
may show at vehicle start but
disappear later. This is normal.
• Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
