HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2007 CL7 / 7.G Manual PDF

This display shows the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Centigrade (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
Select/Reset knob until the
temperature is displayed.
The temperature sensor is in the
f ront bumper. Theref ore, the
temperature reading can be af f ected
by heat ref lection f rom the road
surf ace, engine heat, and the
exhaust f rom surrounding traf f ic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
change the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.
The inf ormation display provides
various inf ormation; odometer,
outside temperature, trip meter, trip
mileage, engine oil lif e, and
maintenance service items. To
switch the display, press the Select/
Reset knob repeatedly. When you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, what you last selected is

¶¶µµµµ
µ µµµ This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays and the odometer/outside
temperature display by pressing the
Select/Reset knob repeatedly. Each
trip meter works independently, so
you can keep track of two dif f erent
distances.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 5°F ( 3°C) warmer or
cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized bef ore doing this
procedure.
Select the outside temperature
display, then press the Select/Reset
knob f or 10 seconds. The f ollowing
sequences appear, 1 second at a
time:0,1,2,3,4,5, 5, 4, 3, 2,
1, 0, 1 (0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1).
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the Select/
Reset knob. You should see the new
outside temperature displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near f reezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
f orming on the road surf ace. When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, what you last
selected is displayed.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the Select/Reset
knob until the number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.

When either of the trip meters (trip
A or trip B) is displayed, your
vehicle’s average fuel mileage since
you last reset that trip meter can be
shownontheinformationdisplay.
This number is updated once every
10 seconds. To see the average f uel
mileage, press and release the
Select/Reset knob repeatedly.When you reset a trip meter, the
average fuel mileage for that trip
meter also resets. It shows the number of mpg (U.S.)
or l/100 km (Canada).
You can temporarily turn off the
average fuel mileage display.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position and make sure the
transmission is in Park and the
parking brake is set.
Use the Select/Reset knob to
select the odometer display.
The display will turn back on when
you repeat the same procedure in
step 3. To turn it off:
Press and hold the Select/Reset

This gauge shows you the state of
charge of the battery for the
integrated motor assist (IMA). This
battery is recharged by the IMA
motor, and discharged by the IMA
when it is assisting the engine with
powering the vehicle.Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
cause the gauge to read higher than
the actual battery level. The system
will then perf orm a correction, and
the battery level gauge reading will
drop suddenly. When this happens,
IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are
disabled until the IMA battery is
suf f iciently recharged by normal
driving. This should take only a f ew
minutes.
This correction of the battery level
gauge is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
becomes deteriorated, the IMA
system indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
The gauge reading may drop near
the bottom under driving conditions
that require assistance f or a long
time, such as prolonged acceleration
or climbing a long hill. The IMA
motor will recharge the battery as
you continue driving.
If the battery is mostly discharged,
the Auto Idle Stop f unction is
disabled (see page ).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current f low, voltage,
and temperature.

The battery temperature will
normalize af ter a f ew minutes of
driving, and the IMA system will
work normally.
This gauge shows you the status of
the integrated motor assist (IMA).
When the IMA battery is being
charged, the lef t side of the gauge
illuminates. When the IMA is
assisting the engine, the right side of
the gauge illuminates. This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may reach near
the red mark. If it reaches the red
(Hot) mark, pull saf ely to the side of
theroad.Seepage for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling
system.
If the IMA battery is too hot or too
cold, the IMA system shuts down to
protect the battery. This disables the
IMA assist and auto idle stop, even
though the battery level gauge may
show that the battery is well-charged.
Theref ore, those f unctions may not
operate when you f irst start driving
in very hot or very cold weather.

This shows how much f uel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount. The needle
returns to the bottom after you turn
of f the ignition.
The inf ormation display in the
instrument panel shows you the
engine oil lif e and maintenance
service items when the ignition
switch is in the ON (II) position. This
inf ormation helps to keep you aware
of the periodic maintenance your
vehicle needs f or continued trouble-
f ree driving. Ref er to page f or
more inf ormation.Your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic
system will detect a loose or missing
f uel f ill cap as an evaporative system
leak. The f irst time a leak is detected
a ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message
appears on the information display.
Turn the engine of f , and conf irm the
f uel f ill cap is installed. If it is, loosen
it, then retighten it until it clicks at
least once. The message should go
off after several days of normal
driving once you tighten or replace
the f uel f ill cap. To scroll to another
display, press the select/reset knob.
The ‘‘CHECK FUEL CAP’’ message
will appear each time you restart the
engine until the system turns the
message of f .
If the system still detects a leak in
your vehicle’s evaporative emissions
system, the malf unction indicator
lamp (MIL) comes on. If the f uel f ill
cap was not already tightened, turn
the engine of f , and check or
retighten the f uel f ill cap until it
clicks at least once. The MIL should
go off after several days of normal
driving once the cap is tightened or
replaced. If the MIL does not go of f ,
have your vehicle inspected by a
dealer. For more inf ormation, see
