Safety Precautions
Do not touch the High Voltage system
Attempting 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 Honda dealer.
If a crash occurs
●
Be careful of electric shock hazard.
u
If a severe crash damages your vehicle’s High 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 contact 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 for the High Voltage System
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the emergency 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.
When the vehicle is disposed
●
The High Voltage battery is a Lithium ion battery. Honda collects and recycles used High
Voltage batteries – consult with your dealer for proper battery disposal in the event your
vehicle is not repairable.
Do not cover the air intake
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.
