Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes Flat
Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a smal l puncture, from a nail for instance, you can
use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station
for a more permanent repair.
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.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights an d set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF
(LOCK).
1 Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
The kit should not be used in the following situations.
Instead, contact an authorized Honda Clarity Electric
dealer or a roadside assistance to have the vehicle
towed.
•The tire sealant has expired.•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 tires
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
Smaller than 3/16 inch (4 mm)Yes

Handling the Unexpected
Emergency Power System Off
The POWER button may be used to turn the power system off due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must tu rn the power system off, do either of the
following operations:
• Press and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the POWER button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the power system
disables the power assist the power syst em provides to the steering and braking
systems, it will require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow
the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake pe dal to slow down the vehicle and stop
immediately in a safe place.
The gear position auto matically changes to
(P after the vehicle comes to a complete
stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
1 Emergency Power System Off
Do not press the button while driving unless it is
absolutely necessary for the power system to be
turned off.

uuIndicator, Coming On/Blinking uIf the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator Comes On
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 pedal 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 st eering 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 (CMBSTM),
and low tire pressure/TPMS indicato rs come on along with a message
in the driver information interface.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, tu rn off the power system, and turn
on the power system again.
If the indicator re-appears and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Ho nda Clarity Electric dealer.
• If VSA ® indicator, VSA ® OFF indicator, CMBS
TM indicator, and low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator come on alo ng 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 pow er 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 Electric dealer.
