and properly grounded circuit that can supply 12 amps continuously.
u Have an electrician inspect the outlet you are using to see if it meets these
criteria.
• Make sure you plug the charging cable direct ly into the wall outlet dedicated to
vehicle charging.
u Do not use extension cord s, adaptors, or multi-outlet plugs between the
charging cable and the outlet.
• Make sure the charging cable is fully uncoiled before use.
• Make sure the control box, charging connector, and charging cable are free from
any damage, including cracks or frays.
u If you find any damage to the devices, contact an authorized Honda Clarity
Electric dealer.

u If you find any contamination or foreign object in the connector or inlet,
contact an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer.

J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and
certified technicians.
Never repair or replace the air conditio ning evaporator (cooling coil) with one
