381 uu When Driving u Transmission
Driving
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks, and contact an
authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
Transmission As with a conventional gasoline-powered ve hicle with an auto matic transmission,
this vehicle will creep.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal wh ile driving uphill may cause the vehicle
to react similar to an automatic transmissio n vehicle, unexpected ly increasing vehicle
speed. Depress the accelerator pedal carefu lly, especially on slippery roads and
curves.■ Other Precautions
■ Creeping
■ Kickdown 1 Precautions While Driving
Do not press the ( N
button, as you will lose
regenerative braking (and ac celeration) performance.
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so
as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.18 CLARITY PHEV CSS-31TRW6000.book 381 ページ ２０１７年８月３１日　木曜日　午後２時４９分
