Quick Reference Guide
Ion Exchanger
An ion exchanger is installed in the fluid lines for the fuel cell in order to maintain the
insulation properties of the fuel cell insulating fluid (FC insulating fluid).
If the message Service Due Soon A appears on the driver information interface, ion
exchange filter replacement is necessary. Be sure to consult an authorized Honda Clarity
Fuel Cell dealer. 2 Indicators (P87)
Exhaust Pipe
Water is expelled from the tail pipe while the vehicle is running or while the High Voltage
battery is being charged. This also happens af ter the vehicle has been running or when you
shut down the FC system by setting the power mode to OFF. If you stand to the left rear of
the vehicle, you may be sprayed by this waste water.
Never drink water expelled from the pipe. Though this water is harmless, it is not suitable
for drinking.
While the vehicle is parked during cold temperatures, the FC system may automatically turn
on and discharge water from the ex haust pipe. If this water is discharged as a vapor, it may
appear as a white mist. This, however, is not indicative of a problem.
Do not obstruct or block the exhaust pi pe as the FC system may stop working.
Maintenance, Repair, and Disposal
Always consult an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer regarding maintenance, repair,
and disposal.
Fuel cells and High Voltage batteries that have been removed from disposed vehicles are
collected through authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealers. Do not dispose of those
batteries yourself.
WARNING
Do not directly touch any water emissions
from the exhaust pipe.
Water created during FC power generation
is discharged from the exhaust pipe in the
form of either liquid (water) or gas (steam).
Directly touching this water may cause
burns.

*1: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles.
*2: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance
Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmission fluid changed
every 31,250 miles.
*3: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 12 year after the display for item 5 is reset, change Fuel Cell Insulating Fluid with “Fuel Cell Insulating Fluid - 50% prediluted formulation”
every 12 years.
*4: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 3 years after the display for item 7 is reset, change the brake fluid and replace air cleaner element every 3 years.

Maintenance
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:
2 Safety Labels P. 81
2 Specifications P. 506
1Dust and Pollen Filter
Using an air freshener may reduce the deodorizing
effect of the dust and polle n filter, and may reduce its
life.
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 Fuel Cell dealer
for replacement.
The allerfree hi gh retention deodor ization filter
collects pollen and dust, has allergen treatment
ability and reduces exhaus t gas odor that may be
present in the air.
