Electric Vehicle Precautions
High Voltage Components, High Voltage Cables and High Temperature
Components
Electric vehicles have high voltage components (about 500 V maximum) such as the power control unit, High Voltage battery, high voltage
cables (identified by their orange covers), electric motor, and high temperature parts such as the radiator. Labels with handli ng warnings
are attached to these components.
WARNING
This vehicle has high voltage circuits and
parts. Failure to observe the following
precautions can result in burns or electric
shock.
●Do not remove, disassemble, or replace
the high voltage parts, cables (orange) or
their connectors.
●Never touch the High Voltage battery
service plugs.
In an emergency or during maintenance or
repair, the service plugs are removed to cut
off the electric flow from the battery. These
plugs are in contact with the battery and
can cause severe electric shock if not
handled properly.
Only a qualified technician should handle
any electrical equipment. For inspection
and repair, consult an authorized Honda
Clarity Electric dealer.

uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not spray high pressure water directly into the motor compartment. Instead,
use low pressure water.
• Do not spray water under the hood wh ere the electric motor and other high
voltage system components are located. It could cause a malfunction.
• Do not spray water directly at the charging port.
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
If you get coolant, or battery fluid on resi n coated parts, they may be stained or the
coating may peel. Promptly wipe it aw ay using a soft cloth and clean water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.

■Maintaining the Bumpers and Other Resin Coated Parts
■Cleaning the Window
1 Applying Wax
NOTICE
Chemical solvents and strong cleaners can damage
the paint, metal, and plasti c on your vehicle. Wipe
away spills immediately.
1 Maintaining the Bumpers an d Other Resin Coated Parts
Ask an authorized Honda Clar ity Electric dealer about
the correct coating material when you want to repair
the painted surface of the parts made of resin.
1 Cleaning the Window
When you raise a wiper arm, you may inadvertently
alter the position of the arm by applying undue force.
If you notice that an arm is not in its proper return
position, active the wipers once and they will
automatically reset. 2 Wipers and Washers P. 157
