Quick Reference Guide Deceleration Paddle Selector (P 392)
When you release the accelerator pedal, yo u can control the rate of deceleration
without releasing your hands from the steering wheel. Using the deceleration
paddle selector situated on the steering wheel, you can sequentially shift through
four stages of deceleration.
Pull the ( +
selector for a few seconds when yo u want to cancel the deceleration
paddle selector.
● When SPORT mode is OFF
If you pull back the paddle selector, the rate of deceleration will change
temporarily, and the stage will ap pear in the instrument panel.
● When SPORT mode is ON
If you pull back the paddle selector, the rate of deceleration will change and
the stage along with M will appear in the instrument panel.
When SPORT mode is
OFF, the deceleration
stage appears. When SPORT mode is
ON, The deceleration
stage and M appear.

Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ® ), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during corn ering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine and motor output and selectively applying the
brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine and motor do not respond to the
accelerator. You may also notice some noise
from the hydraulic system. You will also see
the indicator blink.
■ VSA ® Operation 1 Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybr id dealer immediately.
The indicators for the Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ® )
System, Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ® ) OFF, low tire
Pressure/TPMS and Collision Mitigation Braking
System TM
(CMBS TM
) may come on along with a
message in the driver information interface after
reconnecting the 12-volt battery. Drive a short
distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The
indicator should go off. If it does not, have your
vehicle checked by an aut horized Honda Clarity Plug-
In Hybrid dealer.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and alwa ys leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.VSA ® System

428 uu When Driving u Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Instead of directly measuring the pressu re in each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle
monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each
wheel and tire while you are driving to determine if one or more tires are
significantly under-inflated. This will caus e the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to
come on and a message to appear on the driver information interface.
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressu re in all four tires.2 Checking Tires P. 501
Make sure:
• The vehicle is at a complete stop.
• The gear position is in ( P
.
• The power mode is in ON.■ TPMS Calibration 1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The system does not monitor the tires when driving
at low speed.
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and
altitude change directly a ffect tire pressure and can
trigger the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to come on.
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
• Warm weather can beco me under-inflated in
colder weather.
• Cold weather can become over-inflated in warmer
weather.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will not come
on as a result of over inflation.
The TPMS may not function pr operly if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 501
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
with a delay or may not come on at all when:
• You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the
steering wheel.
• You drive on snowy or slippery roads.
• Tire chains are used.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
under the following conditions:
• There is a heavier and uneve n load on the tires than
the condition at calibration.
• Tire chains are used.19 CLARITY PHEV-31TRW6100.book 428 ページ ２０１８年１０月２５日　木曜日　午後２時２９分

Driving
You can calibrate the system from the
customized feature on the audio/information
screen.
1. Set the power mode to ON.
2. Select .
3. Select Settings .
4. Select Vehicle .
5. Select TPMS Calibration .
6. Select Cancel or Calibrate .
u When the calibration is complete, the
display returns to the customization
menu screen.
• If the Calibration Failed To Start.
message appears, repeat steps 4-6.
• The calibration process finishes
automatically. 1 TPMS Calibration
• The calibration process requires appr oximately 30
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between
30-65 mph (48-105 km/h).
• During this period, if the power system is turned on
and the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you
may notice the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator
comes on briefly. This is normal and indicates that
the calibration process is not yet complete.
If tire chains are installed, remove them before
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are
installed, have your vehicl e checked by an authorized
Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask an
authorized Honda Clarity Pl ug-In Hybrid dealer for
details.
