Important Precautions on Honda IMA System
In case of an accident
If the vehicle is damaged or collapsed during a crash, high voltage from damaged electric parts may cause serious
injury if you touch them. Never touch high voltage parts and related wiring (orange cables).
If electrolyte leaks from the battery, be careful not to let it get in your eyes or on your skin. If this occurs, flush with
water for at least 15 minutes, then immediately call a physician.
In the case of an electrical fire, we recommend the use of a fire extinguisher. If water must be used to extinguish a
fire, ensure that a large amount is used as smaller amounts can aggravate the fire further.
Battery Disposal Information
Your vehicle is equipped with a 100-volt Nickel-Metal Hydride battery. Handling of this battery requires special
knowledge and skills. Always consult your local Honda Dealer/Distributor for information on correct battery disposal
procedures.
