uuBraking uCollision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
The CMBSTM may activate even when you are aware of a vehicle ahead of you, or
when there is no vehicle ahead. Some examples of this are:
■When Passing
Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ah ead of you and you change lanes to pass.
■At an intersection
Your vehicle approaches or passes another ve hicle that is making a left or right turn.
■On a curve
When driving through curves, your vehicle comes to a point where an oncoming
vehicle is right in front of you.
■Through a low bridge at high speed
You drive under a low or na rrow bridge at high speed.
■Speed bumps, road work sites, train tracks, roadside objects, etc.
You drive over speed bumps, st eel road plates, etc., or your vehicle approaches train
tracks or roadside objects [such as a traffic sign and guard rail] on a curve or, when
parking, stationary vehicles and walls.
■With Little Chance of a Collision1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
For the CMBS
TM to work properly:
Always keep the radar sensor cover clean.
Never use chemical solvents or polishing powder for
cleaning the sensor cover. Clean it with water or a
mild detergent.
Do not paint, or apply any coverings or paint to radar
sensor area. This can impact CMBS
TM operation.
Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Honda
Clarity Fuel Cell dealer if you find any unusual
behavior of the system (e.g., the warning message
appears too frequently).
If the front of the vehicle is impacted in any of the
following situations, the ra dar sensor may not work
properly. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer:
•The vehicle mounted onto a bump, curb, chock,
embankment, etc.
•You drive the vehicle where the water is deep.
•Your vehicle has a frontal collision.

uuParking Your Vehicle uWhen Stopped
Driving
Always confirm the electric parking brake is set, in particular if you are parked on an
incline.1When Stopped
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake
may freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are
expected, do not apply the parking brake but, if
parking on a slope, either turn the front wheels so
they will contact the curb if the vehicle rolls down the
slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the
vehicle may roll unexpect edly, leading to a crash.

Refueling
Fuel Information
The hydrogen fuel receptacle is located on the passenger’s rear side of the vehicle.
■Fuel requirement
■Hydrogen supply pressure: 70 MPa (10,153 psig) (at 59°F [15°C])
■Hydrogen filling amount*1: Approximately 11 lbs (5 kg) (at 70 MPa [10,153
psig])
*1: A measured value when refueled at a hydrogen station with 70 MPa (10,153
psig) of supply pressure complaint with the SAE (J2601) fueling protocol.
■Hydrogen tanks capacity: 37.3 US gal (141.3 L) (at 70 MPa [10,153 psig])
■Hydrogen filling station
To completely fill the hydrogen tank, you n eed to use a hydrogen filling station that
has an H70 dispenser, which is capable of supplying pressures of up to 10,153 psig
(70 MPa).
Refueling the vehicle is only possible if the pressure inside the hydrogen tank of the
vehicle does not exceed the supply pressure of the filling station.
If you use an H35 dispenser, you will be able to fill only half of the tank.
Compressed hydrogen gas
1 Refueling
NOTICE
If improper hydrogen gas is us ed, the FC stack will be
damaged. Always refuel at authorized hydrogen
filling stations.
2 Refer to the Navigation System Manual
Hydrogen gas is colorless, odorless, very light and
flammable. Also, its burni ng flame is difficult to
detect by sight.
3WARNING
When refueling hydrogen gas, keep
sources of fire, such as a lit cigarette, away
from the vehicle. As hydrogen gas is highly
flammable, it may caus e a fire or explosion.
Be sure to turn the pow er system to OFF to
stop the FC stack operation.

Fuel Economy
Improving Fuel Economy
Achieving fuel economy is dependent on several factors, including driving
conditions, load weight, standby time, driving habits, and vehicle condition.
Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the rated fuel economy
of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accord ance with the messages displayed on the
driver information interface.
• Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
