Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). 
The main purpose of an EDR is to  record, in certain crash or near 
crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a 
road obstacle, data that will assi st in understanding how a vehicle’s 
systems performed.  The EDR is designed to record data related 
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of 
time, typically 30 seconds or le ss. The EDR in this vehicle is 
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your  vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were 
buckled/fastened;
3WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning
Operating, servicing and maintaining a 
passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can 
expose you to chemicals including engine 
exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and 
lead, which are known to the State of 
California to cause cancer and birth defects or 
other reproductive harm. To minimize 
exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not 
idle the engine except as necessary, service 
your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and 
wear gloves or wash your hands frequently 
when servicing your vehicle. For more 
information go to

.
• How far (if at all) the driver  was depressing the accelerator 
and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the 
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data 
are recorded by your vehicle only  if a non-trivial crash situation 
occurs; no data are recorded by  the EDR under normal driving 
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and 
crash location) are recorded. Howeve r, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, could co mbine the EDR data with the type of 
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash 
investigation.
To read data recorded by an ED R, special equipment is required, 
and access to the vehicle or the  EDR is needed. In addition to the 
vehicle manufacturer, other parties,  such as law enforcement, that 
have the special equipment, can re ad the information if they have 
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belongs to the vehicle ow ner and may not be accessed by 
anyone else except as legally requ ired or with the permission of the 
vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with serv ice-related devices that record 
information about powertrain perform ance. The data can be used 
to verify emissions law requirem ents and/or help technicians 
diagnose and solve service problems.  It may also be combined with 
data from other sources for res earch purposes, but it remains 
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is 
uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.

Electric Vehicle Precautions
High Voltage Components, High Voltage Cables and High Temperature 
Components
Electric vehicles have high voltage components (about 500 V maximum) such as the power control unit, High Voltage battery, high voltage 
cables (identified by their orange covers), electric motor, and high temperature parts such as the radiator. Labels with handli ng warnings 
are attached to these components.
WARNING
This vehicle has high voltage circuits and 
parts. Failure to observe the following 
precautions can result in burns or electric 
shock.
●Do not remove, disassemble, or replace 
the high voltage parts, cables (orange) or 
their connectors.
●Never touch the High Voltage battery 
service plugs.
In an emergency or during maintenance or 
repair, the service plugs are removed to cut 
off the electric flow from the battery. These 
plugs are in contact with the battery and 
can cause severe electric shock if not 
handled properly.
Only a qualified technician should handle 
any electrical equipment. For inspection 
and repair, consult an authorized Honda 
Clarity Electric dealer.

Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any 
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle 
inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity El ectric dealer in the following situations:
■When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, th e control unit and other related parts must be replaced. 
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt te nsioner has been activated, it must be 
replaced.
■When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have y our authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer 
inspect the following: the driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the 
passenger’s seat, front seat belt tensioners , and each seat belt that was worn during 
the crash.
■Do not remove or modify a front seat without cons ulting an authorized 
Honda Clarity Electric dealer
This would likely disable or affect the prop er operation of the driver’s seat position 
sensor or the weight sensors in the passenger ’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or 
modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact an 
authorized Honda Clarity El ectric dealer, or American Honda Automobile Customer 
Service at 1-800-999-1009.
1 Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag 
system components, including the airbag, tensioners, 
sensors, and control unit.
