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
What to Do If
Why do I hear an operating 
noise when applying the 
brakes?This can occur when the ABS activates and does not indicate a 
problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never 
pump the brake pedal.
2Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)  (P430)
The rear door cannot be 
opened from inside the 
vehicle. Why?Check if the childproof lock is in 
the lock position. If so, open the 
rear door with the outside door 
handle.
To cancel this function, slide the 
lever up to the unlock position.
Why do the doors lock 
after I unlocked the doors?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are 
relocked automatically for security.
Why does the beeper 
sound when I open the 
driver’s door?The beeper sounds when:
●The power mode is in ACCESSORY.
●The exterior lights are left on.

The wipers run at high speed until you release 
the lever.
■Wiper switch (OFF, AUTO, LO, HI)
Move the lever up or  down to change the 
wiper settings.
■Washer
Sprays while you pull  the lever toward you.
When you release the lever for more than one

or three more times to  clear the windshield, 
then stop.
■Windshield Wipers/Washers1 Wipers and Washers
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry.
The windshield will get sc ratched, or the rubber 
blades will get damaged.
Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out.
The pump may get damaged.
When the wiper motor is kept running under heavy 
load for extended periods  of time, this protection 
feature is activated,  and the wiper speed may 
decrease or motor operat ion may stop temporarily. 
This function will be canceled within a few minutes 
once the load has been reduced; the wiper operation 
returns to normal.
NOTICE
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the 
windshield.
Operating the wipers in th is condition may damage 
the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the 
windshield, then turn the wipers on.
If the wipers st op operating due to  an obstacle such 
as the build-up of snow, pa rk the vehicle in a safe 
place.
Rotate the wiper switch to  OFF, and set the power 
mode to ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF (LOCK), then 
remove the obstacle.

uuBraking uAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Driving
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Helps prevent the wheels from locking up, a nd helps you retain steering control by 
pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.
The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also 
balances the front-to-rear braking distri bution according to vehicle loading.
You should never pump the brake pedal.  Let the ABS work for you by always 
keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pe dal. This is sometimes referred to as 
“stomp and steer.”
■ABS operation
You may hear an operating noise when the ABS is working. Keep holding the pedal 
firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need  to press on the brake pedal very hard 
before the ABS activates. However, you may  feel the ABS activate immediately if you 
are trying to stop on snow or ice.
ABS may activate when you depress  the brake pedal when driving on:
• Wet or snow covered roads.
• Roads paved with stone.
• Roads with uneven surfaces, such as potholes, cracks, manholes, etc.
When the vehicle speed goes unde r 6 mph (10 km/h), the ABS stops.
■ABS1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
NOTICE
The ABS may not function correc tly if you use a tire of 
the wrong size or type.
If the ABS  indicator comes on while driving, there 
may be a problem with the system.
While normal braking will not  be affected, there is a 
possibility that the ABS wi ll not be operating. Have 
your vehicle checked by an  authorized Honda Clarity 
Fuel Cell dealer immediately.
The ABS is not designed  for the purpose of reducing 
the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is 
designed to limit brake lo ckup which can lead to 
skidding and loss of steering control.
In the following cases, yo ur vehicle may need more 
distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:
•You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces, 
such as gravel or snow.
•The tires are equipped with tire chains.
The following may be observed with the ABS system:
•Motor sounds coming from the motor 
compartment when the brakes are applied, or 
when system checks are being performed after the 
power system has been turned on and while 
vehicle accelerates.
•Brake pedal and/or the ve hicle body vibration when 
ABS activates.
These vibrations and sounds are normal to ABS 
systems and are no cause for concern.

Maintenance
Refilling Window  Washer Fluid
Check the amount of window washer fluid  using the washer fluid level gauge on the 
cap. If the level is low, fill the washer reservoir.
Pour the washer fluid carefully.  Do not overflow the reservoir.1Refilling Window Washer Fluid
NOTICE
Do not use motor antifreeze or a vinegar/water 
solution in the windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage y our vehicle’s paint. A 
vinegar/water solution ca n damage the windshield 
washer pump.
Use only commercially avai lable windshield washer 
fluid.
Avoid prolonged use of hard  water to prevent lime 
scale build up.
