GPS initialization

2006 Honda Ridgeline RTLSECTION GPS initialization

Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:

If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and obtains their orbital information. During this procedure the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.

If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient number of satellites to locate your position, the following screen appears.

After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the engine, then restart the vehicle. If you now see the Disclaimer screen, the GPS initialization is complete.

NOTE:
  • The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
  • If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN  .
