1When Driving
When you set the power mode to ON, you may feel
as if the brake pedal is sinking down. This is normal.
1Turning on the Power
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.
When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops
to –22°F (–30°C) or below, the power system may
not start. Wait for the High Voltage battery to warm
up, or warm it up by plugging in the vehicle.
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops
to –31°F (–35°C) or below, the power system will not
start. Wait for the High Voltage battery to warm up
or move the vehicle to a warmer location. Note
plugging the vehicle in will not help in this case.
Store the vehicle in a garage or take another measure
to insure that temperature of the High Voltage
battery does not fall below this temperature. If
necessary, consult an authorized Honda Clarity
Electric dealer.
