High Voltage Battery

The High Voltage battery gradually discharges when the vehicle is not in use. If allowed to discharge too much, the battery may become
damaged.
If your vehicle is parked for an extended period of time, during storage for example, periodically recharge the battery to maintain sufficient
charge levels. At least once every three months, recharge the High Voltage battery.
Excessive heat can also damage the battery. On hot, sunny days, try to avoid parking your vehicle under direct sunlight.
If the High Voltage battery becomes fully discharged or damaged and you are unable to start the power system as a result, consult a dealer.

Temperature

When storing the vehicle, make sure not to expose it to extremely low temperatures:
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops to -30°C or below, the power system will not start. Wait for the High Voltage battery
to warm up or move the vehicle to a warmer location. Note using the battery heating system will not help in this case.

Maintenance, Repair, and Disposal

Always consult a dealer regarding maintenance, repair, and disposal.
High Voltage batteries that have been removed from disposed vehicles are collected
through a dealer. Do not dispose of these batteries yourself.

In Case of a Crash

●

Be careful of electric shock hazard.

If a severe crash damaged your vehicle’s High Voltage system, there is a possibility of
electrical shock due to exposed High Voltage components or wires. If this happens, do
not touch any of the High Voltage system components or any of its orange wires.

●

Avoid contact with High Voltage battery fluid.

The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result
of a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact with the electrolyte as it is corrosive.
If you accidentally touch it, flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for at
least five minutes, and seek medical attention immediately.

●

Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.

Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with a small quantity of water, from a
garden hose for instance, can be dangerous.

●

Anytime the vehicle is damaged in an accident, have it repaired by a dealer.

Emergency Shutdown System for the High Voltage
System

The emergency shutdown system may activate when the vehicle is impacted by a crash or a
collision. When this system activates, the High Voltage system automatically shuts down,
and your vehicle no longer moves.
To return the High Voltage system to normal operation, consult a dealer.

WARNING

High voltage parts and/or the cables
(orange) connecting them may be exposed
as a result of a crash. Stay clear of these
parts as you may be electrocuted.

If High Voltage battery fluid leaks, be
careful not to touch the fluid. It can harm
your eyes and skin. If it comes in contact
with your eyes and skin; flush the affected
area with clean water immediately for a
few minutes, and seek immediate medical
attention.

Regenerative Energy and Regenerative Braking

When decelerating or while driving downhill, the electric motor acts as a generator that recovers a portion of the electrical energy that was
used to accelerate the vehicle.
In the following situations, the vehicle generates electricity while decelerating.

●

The accelerator pedal is released with the shift position in

(

●

The brake pedal is depressed with the shift position in

(

When the High Voltage battery is fully charged or its temperature is too cold/hot, or another factor or factors are affecting the
condition of the battery, the regenerative braking system may not be activated.

Honda Sensing

(P427 )

Honda Sensing is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor
located behind the emblem and a front
sensor camera mounted to the interior side
of the windshield, behind the rearview
mirror.

The camera is
located behind the
rearview mirror.

Collision Mitigation
Braking System (CMBS)

(P 430)

Can assist you when there is a possibility of
your vehicle colliding with a vehicle,
pedestrian on foot or riding a bicycle
(moving bicycle) detected in front of yours.
The CMBS is designed to alert you when a
potential collision is determined, as well as
assist in reducing speed, avoiding collisions,
and reducing collision severity.

Low Speed Braking
Control

(P 441)

The Low Speed Braking Control system has
three functions: Low Speed Brake function,
Collision Mitigation Throttle Control, and
Rear Collision Mitigation Throttle Control.
Using sonar sensors located on the front and
rear bumpers, the vehicle detects if there
danger of collision with a wall or other
obstacle when the accelerator is depressed
with too much force, and the system assists
in avoiding collisions and reducing damage
from impact by limiting power system
output.

Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow

(P 447)

Helps to maintain a constant vehicle speed
and a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and
stop your vehicle, without you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.

Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)

(P 467)

Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.

Road Departure
Mitigation System

(P 478)

Alerts and helps to assist you when the
system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane
markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.
