Emergency Power System Off; Emergency Towing; Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms) - Honda Clarity ELECTRIC 2018 Owner's Manual

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

Emergency Power System Off

The POWER button may be used to stop the power system due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the power system, choose one of
the following operations:
• Press and hold the POWER button for two seconds, or
• Firmly press the POWER button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine
disables the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking
systems, it will require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and
slow the vehicle. Use both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and
stop immediately in a safe place.
The gear position automatically changes to Park (P) after the vehicle comes to
a complete stop. Then the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
NOTICE
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the
power system to be switched off.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
This vehicle requires a flat-bed tow vehicle: The operator loads your vehicle
on the back of a truck.
NOTICE
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle
can damage the transmission.
Any other towing method will damage the vehicle's drive system.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes
significantly low, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on and a message
appears.

Stop your vehicle in a safe place.
Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level on the
label on the driver's doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration

Any time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 30
minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–65 mph (48–105 km/h).
The vehicle must be stopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes
automatically.
Use the touchscreen to make and
enter selections.

Settings.
2. Select Vehicle.
3. Select TPMS Calibration.
4. Select Calibrate.
NOTICE
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An
overheated tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
