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
Rear Defogger/Heated Door Mirror Button
Press the rear defogger and heated door
mirror button to defog the rear window and
mirrors when the power mode is in ON.
The rear defogger and heated door mirrors
automatically switch off after 10-30 minutes
depending on the outside temperature.
However, if the outside temperature is 32°F
(0°C) or below, it does not automatically
switch off.1 Rear Defogger/Heated Door Mirror Button
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to damage the heating wires.
It is critical to wipe the window from side to side
along the defogger heating wires.
This system consumes a lot of power, so turn it off
when the window has been defogged.
Also, do not use the system for a long time while the
power system is stopped. This may weaken the 12-
volt battery, making it di fficult to turn the power
system on.
When the outside temperature is below 41°F (5°C),
the heated door mirror may activate automatically for
10 minutes when you set the power mode to ON.

Maintenance
Checking and Maintaining Tires
Checking Tires
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in
good condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
■Inflation guidelines
Properly inflated tires provid e the best combination of hand ling, tread life, and comfort.
Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or spec ifications page for the specified pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, advers ely affect handling and energy economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride ha rshly, are more prone to road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
At least once a month or before long trips , use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tires. Even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi (10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm
2)
per month.
■Inspection guidelines
Every time you check inflation, also examine the tires and valve stems.
Look for:
• Bumps or bulges on the side or in the tr ead. Replace the tire if you find any cuts,
splits, or cracks in the side of the tire . Replace it if you see fabric or cord.
• Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks.
• Uneven tread wear. Have an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer check the
wheel alignment.
• Excessive tread wear.
2 Wear Indicators P. 482
•Cracks or other damage around valve stem.
1Checking Tires
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This
means the vehicle has been parked for at least three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If
necessary, add or releas e air until the specified
pressure is reached.
If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.4 kgf/cm
2) higher than if
checked when cold.
Whenever tire pressure is adjusted, you must
calibrate the TPMS. 2 TPMS Calibration P. 416
Have an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer
check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while
driving. New tire s and any that have been removed
and reinstalled should be properly balanced.
3WARNING
Using tires that are excessively worn or
improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s
manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.
