WARNING
Never leave the fuel cell vehicle in standby
state in an enclosed area that has limited
ventilation as there is a risk of oxygen
deprivation.
Fuel cells consume oxygen when generating
electricity. If the vehicle is left in standby
state in an enclosed area, the air may
become deprived of oxygen, resulting in
asphyxiation of any person(s) in the area.
Make sure the area is well ventilated before
turning the power system on. If the vehicle
is in a garage, keep the door open.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify, install, or
disassemble the hydrogen-related
components.
The hydrogen-related components are
filled with hydrogen gas. Removing or
a
disassembling these components may cause
a hydrogen gas leak which can lead to a fire
or explosion.
If you notice anything unusual about your
vehicle, consult an authorized Honda
Clarity Fuel Cell dealer.
