380 uu When Driving u Precautions While Driving
Driving Precautions While Driving Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the power
system or driveline, or caus e electrical component failure.
■ In Rain 1 Precautions While Driving NOTICE
Do not select a shift button while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission. NOTICE
The following can damage the rear frames and rear
suspensions. Be careful when driving.
• Backing up the vehicle into a space with a parking
block or road shoulder
• Driving up or down to a different surface level
(such as a road shoulder)
• Driving on a road with potholes NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the power system will shut down and all
steering and brake power a ssist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.18 CLARITY PHEV CSS-31TRW6000.book 380 ページ ２０１７年８月３１日　木曜日　午後２時４９分

381 uu When Driving u Transmission
Driving
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks, and contact an
authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
Transmission As with a conventional gasoline-powered ve hicle with an auto matic transmission,
this vehicle will creep.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal wh ile driving uphill may cause the vehicle
to react similar to an automatic transmissio n vehicle, unexpected ly increasing vehicle
speed. Depress the accelerator pedal carefu lly, especially on slippery roads and
curves.■ Other Precautions
■ Creeping
■ Kickdown 1 Precautions While Driving
Do not press the ( N
button, as you will lose
regenerative braking (and ac celeration) performance.
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so
as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.18 CLARITY PHEV CSS-31TRW6000.book 381 ページ ２０１７年８月３１日　木曜日　午後２時４９分
