SPORT HYBRID I-MMD
This Accord with SPorT HYBrID i-MMD uses both an electric motor and a gasoline
engine. A High
voltage battery powers the electric motor. The High voltage battery
is recharged by an engine-driven generator and regenerative braking.
i-MMD automatically manages the engine and motor, switching between them or
blending them as appropriate. Under certain circumstances, you can selec\
t
ev
mode (driving on electricity only) by pressing the
ev button (see page 104).
In addition to the High
voltage battery, this vehicle includes a standard 12-volt
battery to power the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and othe\
r 12-volt systems.
Y
our driving style heavily impacts fuel efficiency and driving range. S\
pirited
acceleration, high-speed driving, or heavy climate-control use can quick\
ly reduce
the High
voltage battery’s charge. That can trigger the system to switch to the
gasoline-powered engine.

Auto High-Beam System*
Automatically changes the low beam headlights to high beam headlights wh\
en
necessary.
How It Works
When you are driving at night above 25 mph (40 km/h) and the headlight\
lever is
in the low beam position with the switch rotated to AUT
o, the system changes
between low and high beams depending on the surrounding conditions.
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you, the headlights stay in low beams.\
If
the
system does not detect any vehicles ahead of you, the headlights change \
to high
beams.
Certain conditions, such as weather and brightness of other vehicles’\
lights, can
affect system operation.
Turning the System On or Off
Make sure the headlight lever is in the low beam
position with the switch rotated to the AUT
o
position. The auto high-beam system indicator
appears when the system is on.
The system cancels temporarily when you drive at
speeds below 15 mph (24 km/h), the vehicle speed is
below 6 mph (10 km/h), or the windshield wipers run
at high speed for more than a few seconds.
To disable the system:
When the vehicle is on and parked, pull the headlight lever
towards you and hold it for 40 seconds. The auto high-beam indicator bli\
nks twice.
To re-enable the system: Pull the headlight lever towards you and hold it for 30
seconds. The auto high-beam indicator blinks once.
To temporarily cancel operation, do either of the following:
•
Flash the high beams by moving the lever toward you. Flash the high beam\
s
again to resume auto high beam operation.
•
engage high beams by moving the lever into the high beam position. return the
stalk to the low beam position to resume auto high beam operation.

Using the Auto High-Beam System
If you find the timing of beam changes inconvenient for driving, chang\
e the
headlight beams manually.
If the Can Not

Wipe away debris blocking the windshield, then start driving again. If t\
he message
remains on even after driving for a while with the clean windshield, hav\
e your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
For the auto high-beam system to work properly:
•
Do not place an object that reflects light on the dashboard.
•
Keep the windshield around the camera clean.
•
When cleaning the windshield, be careful not to apply the windshield cle\
anser
to the camera lens.
•
Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera\
.

Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks •
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exteri\
or
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\
nder
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\
nded period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried gra\
ss and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\
a small animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\
er you or
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks •
Store or secure all items on board properly.
•
Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
•
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \
the
vehicle.
•
Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
•
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\
under the
seats.
•
everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\
lt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\
round the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
