Quick Reference Guide Energy Efficiency As with a gasoline powered vehicle, the fuel efficiency and the range of this vehicle is most impacted by the driver’s driving style. Aggressive
acceleration and high-speed driving can easily trigger the system to switch the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered engin e. Climate
control system usage also has a str ong impact with heavy usage negatively affecting the vehicle’s range.
Battery Type There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle, a standa rd 12-volt battery that powers th e airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and
other standard 12-volt systems, and a high voltage battery that is used to power the propulsion motor and recharge the 12-volt battery.
Hybrid Vehicles High voltage parts and high voltag e wires in this vehicle are sheathed in electro magnetic shielding material; therefore, the am ount of
electromagnetic waves emitted is no more gr eater than those emitted by household appliances or the electrical parts in conventi onal
vehicles.
Sounds Unique to the Honda Plug-In System When you first start driving this vehicle, you likely will hear some unfamiliar sounds, particula rly when you first turn on the power system,
while driving, and just after parking. Some of these sounds are unique to this vehicle‘s powertrain, fuel, and climate control systems; others
are similar to sounds generated by conventi onal automobiles that typically are masked by louder noises absent from a vehicle of this design.
These sounds are not a cause for concern, and you will soon recognize them as normal and thus be able to detect any new or unus ual noise
