2010 HONDA INSIGHT ima system

This gauge shows you the charge/
discharge status of the Integrated
Motor Assist (IMA). When the IMA
is assisting the engine, the pointer
stays in the assist gauge (upper part
of the gauge). When the IMA
battery is being charged, the pointer
stays in the charge gauge (lower part
of the gauge).You can also check the status of the
IMA system function on the multi-
inf ormation display (see page ).
If the IMA battery is too hot or too
cold, the IMA system limits the IMA
battery’s output power to protect the
battery. This disables the IMA assist
and auto idle stop, even though the
battery level indicator on the multi-
inf ormation display may show that
the battery is well-charged (see page
). Theref ore, if the motor assist
is f requently used, the battery
becomes hot and starts to limit its
output power.
It takes a short time to normalize the
IMA battery’s output power
depending on the weather. 84

The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in L (Low) mode (see page ).
The battery level gauge does not
read the battery level directly. It
calculates the level by continuously
measuring the current f low, voltage,
and temperature. If the battery is mostly discharged,
the Auto Idle Stop f unction is
disabled (see page ). The IMA battery is charged at a
higher rate when the transmission is
in LOW (L) range (see page ). Since the level is not read directly,
small sensing errors can, over time,
cause the gauge to read higher than
the actual battery level. The system
will then perf orm a correction, and
the battery level gauge reading will
drop suddenly. When this happens,
IMA assist and Auto Idle Stop are
disabled until the IMA battery is
suf f iciently recharged by normal
driving.This correction of the battery level
gauge is normal and does not
indicate a problem. If the IMA
battery develops a problem or
becomes deteriorated, the IMA
system indicator will come on. If this
happens, have the vehicle checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.

to maintain the interior temperature
you select. The system also adjusts
the fan speed and airflow levels.Press the AUTO button. You will
see AUTO in the display.
Set the desired temperature by
turning the temperature control
dial.
The system automatically selects
the proper mix of conditioned
and/or heated air that will, as
quickly as possible, raise or lower
the interior temperature to your
pref erence. Turning this dial clockwise increases
the temperature of the airflow.
The climate control system can also
be operated by voice control. See the
