If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Change the gear position to ( P
.

• 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.
• The tire bead is no longer seated.
• The rim is damaged.
Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.When the puncture is: Kit Use

Handling the Unexpected
If the Electric Power Steeri ng (EPS) System Indicator
Comes On ■ Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator peda l repeatedly to increase the motor
speed while the motor is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when the EPS steering angle center point memory is lost.
This could be due to a number of problems including: battery
disconnection, main fuse blow, low battery causing the reset of the
EPS system, wire damage to EPS harness. Vehicle Stability Assist ®
(VSA ® ), VSA ® OFF, Collision Mitigation Braking System TM
(CMBS TM
),
and low tire pressure/TPMS indicato rs come on along with a message
in the driver information interface.
■ What to do when th e indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the power system, and turn
on the power system again.
If the indicator re-appears and stay s on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Hond a Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
• If VSA ® indicator, VSA ® OFF indicator, CMBS TM
indicator, and low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator come on al ong with a message in the driver
information interface, you need to calibrate the VSA ® and EPS
systems.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h) to calibrate the
VSA ® and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off and turn on the po wer system, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-I n Hybrid dealer.19 CLARITY PHEV-31TRW6100.book 551 ページ ２０１８年１０月２５日　木曜日　午後２時２９分
