Quick Reference Guide
Electricity Consumption and Driving Range
Driving range is dependent on driving conditions and climate control system use. Since the climate control system in this vehicle runs on
electricity, it will consume electricity when in use. The climate control system requires more electricity for heating than it does for cooling;
therefore, when you use the heating function, especially when ambient temperatures are very low, the distance that you can travel on the
remaining power will be shortened.
The meter below shows the driving range as well as the amount of electricity that has been consumed by the motor and the climat e control
system.
Electricity Consumption Indicator (ENERGY USAGE)
The meter shows the ratio between the energy which has been consumed by the
climate control system ( CLIMATE) and the energy which has been consumed by
the motor ( DRIVE).
Range Display
Displays the estimated driving range as well as
the estimated additional driving range if the
climate control system is turned off.
To turn the climate control system off, press
the button. 2 Climate Control System (P186)

Controls
■Switching the vent mode
1.Press the CLIMATE button.
2. Select a desired vent mode icon.
■A/C on and off
1.Press the CLIMATE button.
2. Select On or Off .
1Using Automatic Climate Control
When you unlock the doors with your remote, the
driver’s ID (DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2) is detected, and
the climate control settings are turned to the
respective mode automatically when you set the
power mode to ON.
The High Voltage battery level being low may reduce
the climate control system performance.
If any icons are not select ed within several seconds
after the display is switched, it returns to the previous
screen. In this case, press the CLIMATE button again.
You can change the length of time the climate
control display stays on. 2 Customized Features P. 296
While ECON mode is active, the climate control
system may have reduced cooling performance.

Cooling System
Coolant is used to reduce the temperat ure of the high voltage battery, motor and
related parts. When checking the coolant level, make sure to follow the procedures
listed below. If the cool ant level is below the MIN mark, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer.
1.Check the fluid level in the tank.
2. If the coolant level has dropped below the
MIN level, have your ve hicle serviced at an
authorized Honda Clar ity Electric dealer.
u Only a properly trained technician can
refill the coolant and check the system
for leaks.
1. Check the fluid level in the tank.

Climate Control System Maintenance
Air Conditioning
To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE
J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
Never repair or replace the air conditio ning evaporator (cooling coil) with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certified (and
labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Dust and Pollen Filter
The climate control system is equipped with a dust and pollen filter that collects
pollen, dust, and other debris in the air. The Maintenance MinderTM messages will let
you know when to replace the filter.
We recommend that you replace the dust an d pollen filter sooner when using your
vehicle in areas with high concentrations of dust.
1 Climate Control System Maintenance
NOTICE
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment.
To avoid refrigerant from venting, never replace the
evaporator with one re moved from a used or
salvaged vehicle.
Refrigerant in your vehicle’s air conditioning system is
flammable and can be igni ted during servicing if
proper procedures are not followed.
The air conditioner labe l is found under the hood:

1Dust and Pollen Filter
If the airflow from the climate control system
deteriorates noticeably, and the windows fog up
easily, the filter may need to be replaced. Please
contact an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer
for replacement.
