Controls
Automatic lighting control can be used when
the power mode is in ON.
When you turn the light switch to AUTO , the
headlights and other exterior lights will switch
on and off automatically depending on the
ambient brightness.
You can change the auto light sensitivity
setting. 2 Customized Features P. 306
The headlights comes on when you unlock a
door in dark areas with the headlight switch in
AUTO .
u Once you lock the door, the headlights
will go off.■ Automatic Operation (automatic lighting control) 1 Automatic Operation (aut omatic lighting control)
We recommend that you tu rn on the lights manually
when driving at night, in a dense fog, or in dark areas
such as long tunnels or parking facilities.
The light sensor is in the location shown below. Do
not cover this light sensor with anything; otherwise,
the automatic lighting system may not work properly.
Adjust the auto light sensitivity as follows:

Driving When Driving Turning on the Power 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Depress the brake pedal. 1 When Driving
When you set the power mode to ON, you may feel
as if the brake pedal is si nking down. This is normal.
1 Turning on the Power
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters).
When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops
below approximately –22°F (–30°C), the power
system will not start, the High Voltage battery will not
operate and, as a result, the vehicle will not start.
Store the vehicle in a gara ge or take another measure
to insure that temperature of the High Voltage
battery does not fa ll below this temperature. If
necessary, consult an author ized Honda Clarity Plug-
In Hybrid dealer. U.S. modelsElectric Parking

Driving Press the RDM button to turn the system on
and off.
u The indicator in the button comes on and
the message appears on the driver
information interface when the system is
on.
The system may not properly detect lane ma rkings and the position of your vehicle
under certain conditions. Some examples of these conditions are listed below.
■ Environmental conditions
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Sudden changes between light and dark, su ch as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.
• There is little contrast between la ne lines and the roadway surface.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.
• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.
• Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markers.
• Reflections on the interi or of the windshield.■ RDM On and Off 1 RDM On and Off
When you have selected Warning Only from the
customized options using the audio/information
screen, the system does not operate the steering

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
2 Front Sensor Camera P. 396
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 put a sticker on the radar sensor cover or
replace the radar sensor cover.
If you need the radar sensor to be repaired, or
removed, or the radar se nsor cover is strongly
impacted, turn off the system by pressing the MAIN
button and take your vehicl e to an authorized Honda
Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Honda
