When Driving
Turning on the Power
1.Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Depress the brake pedal.1Turning on the Power
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.
When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.
If the temperature of the fuel cell drops below –4°F
(–20°C), the power system may not start. If the
temperature drops to belo w –22°F (–30°C), the fuel
cells or the High Voltage ba ttery will not operate and,
as a result, the vehicle will not start. Store the vehicle
in a garage or take anothe r measure to insure that
temperature of the fuel cell and High Voltage battery
does not fall below this te mperature. If necessary,
consult an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer.

uuWhen Driving uHigh Voltage Battery
Driving
High Voltage Battery
Because electricity generated by the fuel cells and through regenerative braking
recharges the High Voltage battery, the ba ttery does not need to be recharged from
an outside source; however, the High Voltag e battery gradually discharges when the
vehicle is not in use. If allowed to discharge too much, the battery may become
damaged.
If your vehicle is parked for an extended pe riod of time, during storage for example,
periodically recharge the battery to maintain sufficient charge levels. At least once
every three months, turn on the power system, and keep it on for more than 30
minutes to allow the battery to recharge.
Excessive heat can also damage the battery. On hot, sunny days, try to avoid parking
your vehicle under direct sunlight.
If the High Voltage battery becomes fully discharged or damaged and you are
unable to start the FC system as a result, consult an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel
Cell dealer.

Driving
FC System in Extreme Cold-weather Conditions
The FC system may behave differently on cold days. It may operate a special process
to improve start-up performance and dura bility. Operation noises, purge process
while parked, etc., differ from usual. However, this is not a malfunction.
On cold days, the power output may be temporarily limited if the vehicle is driven at
high vehicle speeds or accelerated suddenly before the FC system warm-up is
completed. Operate the vehi cle looking out for the surrounding traffic until the FC
system reaches full ope rating temperature.
If the exhaust pipe is blocked, the power system may stop. In especially cold
weather, freezing prevention process wh ile parked may not be able to be
performed. Also, the process cannot be carry out if the 12-volt battery terminals are
disconnected; consequently, the FC st ack (fuel cell body) may deteriorate.
On cold days, the hydrogen gas may be consumed faster than usual.
On cold days, when the power system op erates starting/stopping processes or
freezing prevention process while parked, wa ter vapor in the exhaust may appear as
a white mist emitted from the exhaus t pipe. This is not a malfunction.
1FC System in Extreme Cold-weather Conditions
3CAUTION
When the power system operates stopping
process or freezing prevention process
while parked in cold weather, a puddle of
discharged water may form on the ground
and become frozen. Be careful not to slip
on it.
