Quick Reference Guide
In Case of a Crash
●If a vehicle fire occurs, leaked hydrogen gas may ignite. Stay far away from the vehicle
and call the local fire department.
To extinguish a vehicle fire, use a large amount of water, dry chemical fire extinguisher
(Class A, B, or C), or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. With an inadequate amount of
water, a fire cannot be put out completely. Never attempt to extinguish a vehicle fire
with a small amount of water.
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, make sure it is done with all the wheels lifted using the
flat bed equipment. If the front wheels are touching the ground, the rotating tires will
force the electric motor to spin, which in turn, may damage the power system,
transmission, etc.
WARNING
If the body of the vehicle is seriously
damaged or deformed in a crash, hydrogen
gas may leak out from the vehicle. Keep
flammable sources, such as a lit cigarette or
warning flares, away from the vehicle. 2If Hydrogen Gas is Leaking (P513)
Also, high voltage parts and/or the cables
(orange) connecting them may be exposed
as a result of a crash. Stay clear of these
parts as you may be electrocuted.
If the vehicle catches fire, leaked hydrogen
gas may ignite. Stay far away from the
vehicle and report to the fire department
that a vehicle containing hydrogen tanks is
on fire.
The system is designed so that in the event
that the vehicle catches fire, the gas inside
the tanks will be released through the tank
valves, thereby ensuring that pressure
within the tanks does not build up. This gas
is released toward the rear of the vehicle in
a downward direction. Do not attempt to
extinguish the fire from behind the vehicle
as the exiting gas may ignite into a flame.

Safe Driving
1Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and
go off periodically if the tota l weight on the seat is
near the airbag cutoff threshold. For a small adult,
depending on physique and posture, the system may
not recognize him/her as an adult and thus deactivate
the passenger’s airbag.
If this occurs, please confirm that the conditions set
forth in the above bullet points on the previous page
are met.
If the above conditions are met and the indicator is
still on, then with the transmission in park, turn the
ignition off and back on.
Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Honda
Clarity Fuel Cell dealer as soon as possible if:
•All of the above conditions are met, and the
indicator comes on with an adult seated in the
front passenger seat.
•The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow an adult passe nger to ride in the front
