SAFETY INFORMATION
Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important, and operating this
vehicle safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make
informed decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you
about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle.
Therefore, you must use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also
help to keep you and your passengers safe.

• Don’t drink and drive.
• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
• Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
• Control your speed.

Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from

lead to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly and only you can
decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.

This vehicle has high voltage circuits and parts. Failure to observe the
following precautions can result in burns or electric shock.
• Do not remove, disassemble, or replace the high voltage parts, cables
(orange) or their connectors.
• Never touch the High Voltage battery service plugs.
In an emergency or during maintenance or repair, the service plugs are
removed to cut off the electric flow from the battery. These plugs are in
contact with the battery and can cause severe electric shock if not handled
properly.
Only a qualified technician should handle any electrical equipment. For
inspection and repair, consult an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer.
WARNING
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 High Voltage battery fluid leaks, be careful not to touch the fluid. It can
harm your eyes and skin. If it comes in contact with your eyes and skin; flush
the affected area with clean water immediately for a few minutes, and seek
