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
Ion Exchanger
An ion exchanger is installed in the fluid lines for the fuel cell in order to maintain the
insulation properties of the fuel cell insulating fluid (FC insulating fluid).
If the message Service Due Soon A appears on the driver information interface, ion
exchange filter replacement is necessary. Be sure to consult an authorized Honda Clarity
Fuel Cell dealer. 2 Indicators (P89)
Exhaust Pipe
Water is expelled from the tail pipe while the vehicle is running or while the High Voltage
battery is being charged. This also happens af ter the vehicle has been running or when you
shut down the FC system by setting the power mode to OFF. If you stand to the left rear of
the vehicle, you may be sprayed by this waste water.
Never drink water expelled from the pipe. Though this water is harmless, it is not suitable
for drinking.
While the vehicle is parked during cold temperatures, the FC system may automatically turn
on and discharge water from the ex haust pipe. If this water is discharged as a vapor, it may
appear as a white mist. This, however, is not indicative of a problem.
Do not obstruct or block the exhaust pi pe as the FC system may stop working.
Maintenance, Repair, and Disposal
Always consult an authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealer regarding maintenance, repair,
and disposal.
Fuel cells and High Voltage batteries that have been removed from disposed vehicles are
collected through authorized Honda Clarity Fuel Cell dealers. Do not dispose of those
batteries yourself.
WARNING
Do not directly touch any water emissions
from the exhaust pipe.
Water created during FC power generation
is discharged from the exhaust pipe in the
form of either liquid (water) or gas (steam).
Directly touching this water may cause
burns.

The SiriusXM ® satellites are in orbit over the equator;
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause
satellite rece ption interruptions. Sa tellite signals are
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the farther north you travel from the
equator.
You may experience rece ption problems under the
following circumstances:
•In a location with an obstruction to the south of
your vehicle.
•In tunnels•On the lower level of a multi-tiered road
•Large items carried on the roof rack

Driving
Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on th e windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheel s, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 468
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.

NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the power syst em can ignite flammable
materials left under the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve
parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect
and remove any debris that may have collected, such
as dried grass and leaves th at have fallen or have
been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal.
Also check under the hood fo r leftover flammable
materials after you or so meone else has performed
maintenance on your vehicle.
