uuBraking uBrake System
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.
2Brake Assist System P. 442
2 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) P. 441
■Foot Brake1Parking Brake
The parking brake may not be released automatically
while the following indicators are on:
•POWER SYSTEM indicator•Transmission system indicator
•Parking brake and brake system indicator (amber)
•VSA® system indicator
•ABS indicator•Supplemental restraint system indicator
1Foot Brake
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 aut horized Honda Clarity Plug-
In Hybrid dealer. If you hear only an occasional
squeak or squeal when y ou initially apply the brake
pedal, this may be normal and caused by high
frequency vibration of th e brake pads against the
rotating brake disc.

brake.
2. Change the gear position to
(P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights an d set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF

Hybrid dealer or roadside assistance to have the
vehicle towed.
•The tire sealant has expired.•More than one tire is punctured.
•The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm).
•The tire side wall is da maged or the puncture is
outside the contact area.
•Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
extremely under inflated.
