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 e ngine 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 engine 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

AUTO Mode
When driving, your vehicle is pr opelled exclusively by the electric
motor, exclusively by the gasoline engine, or by a combination of
the two. The system selects which propulsion source is most
appropriate and automatically switches to it.
EV Mode
When EV mode is activated, your vehicle is propelled exclusively by
the electric motor.
When you press the e button and select EV mode, EV mode is
enabled and the EV mode indicator comes on. When you press the
e button again and select AUTO mode, the AUTO mode indicator
comes on.
Shifts in vehicle, driving, or road conditions may automatically
cancel EV mode and/or keep the system from manually switching
into EV mode. When this happens, the beeper sounds and a
message appears on the driv er information interface.
CHARGE Mode
When CHARGE mode is activated, the engine starts and the High
Voltage battery begins charging.
When you press and hold the e button, CHARGE mode is enabled
and the CHARGE mode indicator comes on. When you press and
hold the e button again and select AUTO mode, the AUTO mode
indicator comes on. By pressing and holding the e button, you can
select a mode to change to, and the indicator for the selected mode
will come on.
Shifts in vehicle, driving, or road conditions may automatically
cancel CHARGE mode and/or keep the system from manually
switching into CHARGE mode. When this happens, the beeper
sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface.

Quick Reference Guide
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.
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.
●Any time 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.

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 temperature changes caus e the battery’s capacity
to change, the number of indicators in the battery
charge level gauge may al so change, even if the
amount of charge remains the same.
