Driving state
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 are performed by a Honda dealer.
If a crash occurs●Be careful of electric shock hazard.
uIf a severe crash damages your vehicle’s Hi gh Voltage system, there is a possibility of
electrical shock due to exposed High 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.
●Any time the vehicle is damaged in a crash, have it repaired by a dealer.
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.
