1Charging
NOTICE
Do not charge the vehicle with a vehicle cover on. It
can cause a malfunction and damage the vehicle or
charging components
Keep the hood closed while the vehicle is being charged.
If the hood is open, charge time may become longer
since the cooling fan does not turn.
The 120 volt charger requires a properly grounded
and dedicated circuit that is protected by a 15 amp or
greater over-current protection device (circuit
breaker). For more information consult an authorized
Honda dealer.
We recommend that a GFCI (ground-fault circuit
interrupter) protected outlet be used to charge the
vehicle. Follow the GFCI maker's installation
instructions, or consult an electrician if you are not
sure about installation requirements.
Inspect the charging cable plug and charging
connector, as well as the vehicle's charge inlet, before
use. If the plug or connector are dirty or otherwise
contaminated, carefully clean them with a dry clean
cloth before use. Do not wipe the metal part of the
inlet and the charge connector by yourself. Also, if you
are unable to clean the plug or connector, if the inlet is
dirty, or if any are damaged or corroded, take the
charging cable and vehicle to an authorized dealer for
inspection and possible repair.
Before using a vehicle charging cable, inspect the cable
for damage such as scratches, cracks, or tears. If you find
any damage, do not use the charging cable; instead, take
it to an authorized Honda dealer for inspection.
