Driving Speed
Stopped or driven at low speeds:●Only the electric motor
provides propulsion to the
wheels.Driven in high-load conditions
(e.g., when accelerating, going
uphill):
●The Electric Motor provides
propulsion to the wheels.
●The gasoline engine drives the
generator, supplying
electricity to the electric
motor for added propulsion
or to the High Voltage battery
for charging.
Driven in high-speed, low-load
conditions:
●The gasoline e ngine provides
propulsion to the wheels.
●The High Voltage battery
supplies electricity to the
electric motor for added
propulsion.
●The electric motor provides
electricity to the High Voltage
battery through regenerative
braking.
The accelerator pedal is released
and the vehicle is decelerating.
●The electric motor provides
electricity to the High Voltage
battery through regenerative
braking.

Safety Precautions
Do not touch the High Voltage systemAttempting to take a High Voltage system component apart or disconnect one of its wires
can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure that any maintenance or repairs to the High
Voltage system is performed by a dealer.
If a crash occurs●Be careful of electric shock hazard.
u If a severe crash damages your vehicle’s Hi gh Voltage system, there is a possibility of
electrical shock due to exposed Hi gh Voltage components or wires. If this happens, do not
touch any of the High Voltage system components or any of its orange wires.
●Avoid contact with High Voltage battery fluid.
u The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of
a severe crash. Avoid skin or eye contact with the electrolyte as it is corrosive. If you
accidentally come into contac t with the electrolyte, rinse the exposed skin or flush your
eyes with copious amounts of water for at least five minutes, and seek medical attention
immediately.
●Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.
u Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with even a small quantity of water, from a
garden hose for instance, can be dangerous.
●Anytime the vehicle is damaged in a crash, have it repaired by a dealer.
Emergency Shutdown System fo r the High Voltage SystemIf the vehicle is involved in a crash, the em ergency shutdown system will activate depending
on the severity of the impact. When the system activates, the High Voltage system
automatically shuts down, and the vehicle can no longer move under its own power. To
return the High Voltage system back to normal operation, consult a dealer.
Honda collects and recycles High Voltage batteries used in its vehicles – consult a dealer for
more information.
Do not cover the air intake.
If the air intake is obstructed
during vehicle operation, the High
Voltage battery can become too
hot. To protect the battery, the
system may start to limit the
battery’s output and cause the
power system and 12-volt battery
charging system indicators to come
on.

■High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
The high voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt battery has been replaced.
•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.•When the high voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level readi ng will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperature of the high voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the
battery’s capacity to change, the number of
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also
change, even if the amount of charge remains the
same.
