Quick Reference Guide
Safety Precautions
Do not touch the High Voltage systemAttempting to take a High Voltage system component apart or disconnect one of its wires
can cause severe electrical shock. If the High Voltage system needs maintenance or repair, it
should be performed at a dealer.
If a crash occurs●Be careful of electric shock hazard.
u If a severe crash damages your vehicle’s Hi gh Voltage system, there is a possibility of
electrical shock due to exposed Hi gh 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.
u The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of
a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact wi th 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.
u Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire wi th 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 fo r the High Voltage SystemThe emergency shutdown system may activate when the vehicle is impacted by some
incident such as a crash. When this system activates, the High Voltage system automatically
shuts down, and your vehicle no longer will move under its own power. To return the High
Voltage system back to normal operation, consult a dealer.
Honda collects and recycles High Voltage batteries used in its vehicles – consult a dealer for
more information.
Do not cover the air intake.
If the air intake is obstructed
during vehicle operation, the High
Voltage battery can become too
hot. To protect the battery, the
system may start to limit the
battery’s output and cause the
power system and 12-volt battery
charging system indicators to come
on. Air Intake

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles , and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all re gularly scheduled maintenance.

uuAirbags uAirbag Care
Safe Driving
Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
■When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, th e control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt te nsioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not infl ate, have your dealer inspect the following: the driver’s
seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt
tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.
■Do not remove or modify a fron t seat without consulting a dealer
This would likely disable the driver's seat po sition sensor or the weight sensors in the
passenger's seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate
a person with disabilities, co ntact a dealer, or for U.S. vehicles, American Honda
Automobile Customer Service at 1-800-99 9-1009 and for Canadian vehicles, Honda
Canada Customer Relations at 1-888-9-HONDA-9.
1 Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, including the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
