Driving
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when brak ing very hard.

Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the
vehicle checked by an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel
Cell dealer. If you hear onl y an occasional squeak or
squeal when you initially a pply the brake pedal, this
may be normal and caus ed by high frequency
vibration of the brake pads against the rotating brake
disc.
Constantly using the brak e pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness.
To help reduce heat build -up in the brakes when
descending a long slope, use regenerative braking to
slow the vehicle down.
When the high voltage battery is recharging,
regenerative braking may not be possible.

Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.
