Quick Reference Guide
High Voltage Components, High Voltage Cables and High Temperature
Components
Fuel cell vehicles have high voltage components (about 500 V maximum) such as the FC stack, FCVCU, High Voltage battery, power control
unit, high voltage cables (identified by their orange covers), el ectric motor, and high temperature parts such as the radiator. Labels with
handling 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 Fuel Cell dealer.

Quick Reference Guide
Hydrogen Leak Detection System
When the power mode is turned to ON, the hydrogen leak detection system is activated. If a
hydrogen gas leak is detected by the hydrogen detector, the hydrogen leak indicator will
come on.
2 Hydrogen Leak Indicator (P90)
Hydrogen Supply/High Voltage Shut-off System
If the FC system is on and the vehicle is involv ed in a crash, depending on the severity of the
impact, the shut-off system will cut off the supply of hydrogen and electricity. In this case, it
is not possible to restart the vehicle.
To restart the FC system, consult an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer.
WARNING
Do not block the hydrogen ventilation
ducts.
The hydrogen tanks, FC stack, and
hydrogen supply components have
ventilation ducts to allow any leaked
hydrogen to escape into the atmosphere. If
the opening of a duct is blocked with snow,
leaves, etc., and a hydrogen leak occurs, the
leaked gas can make its way into the motor
room, where it can ignite, resulting in a fire
or explosion.
Make sure the ducts are free of any
obstructions before activating the power
system.
Do not remove or disassemble a hydrogen
duct: Doing so can lead to a fire or
explosion if a hydrogen gas leak occurs.

Quick Reference Guide
VSA® On and Off (P 413)
● The Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA® ) system
helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering and helps maintain traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces.
● VSA ® comes on automatically every time
you turn on the power system.
● To partially disable or fully restore VSA ®
function, press and ho ld the button until
you hear a beep.
CMBSTM On and Off
(P 435)
● When a possible collision is likely
unavoidable, the CMBS
TM can help you to
reduce the vehicle speed and the severity
of the collision.
● To turn the CMBS
TM on or off, press and
hold the button until you hear a beep.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
(P 415)
● Detects a change in tire conditions and
overall dimensions due to decrease in tire
pressures.
● The TPMS is turned on automatically
every time you turn on the power system.
● A calibration procedure must be
performed when certain conditions arise.
Refueling (P 444)
aSet the power mode
to OFF.
bPress the hydrogen
fuel lid release
button on the
driver’s door to open
the fuel lid.
cRemove the dust cap
inside the hydrogen
fuel lid.
dStart refueling.
Fuel requirement: Compressed hydrogen gas
Hydrogen supply pressure: 70 MP a (10,153 psig) (at 59°F [15°C])
Hydrogen filling amount
*1: Approximately 11 lbs (5 kg) (at 70 MPa)
Hydrogen tanks capacity: 37.3 US gal (141.3 L) (at 70 MPa [10,153 psig])
*1:
A measured value when refueled at a hydrogen station with 70 MPa (10,153
psig) of supply pressure complaint with the SAE (J2601) fueling protocol.
Hydrogen Filling Station: To completely fi ll the hydrogen tank, you need to use a
hydrogen filling station that has an H70 di spenser, which is capable of supplying
pressures of up to 10,153 psig (70 MPa).
Refueling the vehicle is only possible if the pressure inside the hydrogen tank of
the vehicle does not exc eed the supply pressure of the filling station.
If you use an H35 dispenser, you will be able to fill only half of the tank.

uuSeat Belts uAbout Your Seat Belts
Safe Driving
■Proper use of seat belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that position
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belt s. Devices intended to improve comfort
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective capability
and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.1About Your Seat Belts
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends
the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If
this happens, release the retractor by unfastening the
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely.
Then refasten the belt.

■High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
When the number of bars displayed on the High
Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge becomes 2,
assist by the high-voltage battery is limited and the
vehicle output is lowered.
The high voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt battery has been replaced.•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
•When the high voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level reading will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperature of the high voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the
battery’s capacity to change, the number of
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also
change, even if the amount of charging remains the
same.

uuAdjusting the Seats uFront Seats
Controls
Adjust the driver’s seat -back to a comfortable,
upright position, leaving ample space
between your chest and the airbag cover in
the center of the steering wheel.
The front seat passenger should also adjust
their seat-back to a comfortable, upright
position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the
occupant’s chest reduces the protective capa bility of the belt. It also increases the
chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the gr eater the risk of injury.
■Adjusting the Seat-Backs1Adjusting the Seat-Backs
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the
seat-back and your back. Do ing so may interfere with
proper seat belt or airbag operation.
If you cannot get far e nough away from the steering
wheel and still reach th e controls, we recommend
that you investigate whether some type of adaptive
equipment may help.
3WARNING
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in
serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position,
and sit well back in the seat.
