  • Page 13 SPORT HYBRID i-MMD Plug-in (intelligent Multi-Mode Drive Plug-in) Your Honda SPORT HYBRID i-MMD Plug-in vehicle uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine as propulsion sources, with the electric motor receiving electricity from an internal High Voltage battery or internal generator.
  • Page 14 There are three drive modes: ECON, NORMAL, and SPORT Regardless of the drive mode that is activated, when the accelerator pedal is depressed past a certain point, the engine starts. When this occurs, electrical power generated by the engine combines with electrical power from the battery to provide greater driving force. If you select ECON mode, the threshold for the engine to provide additional power is higher than it is when the vehicle operates under either of the two sources.
  • Page 15 Auto Engine Stop/Start The car will select the appropriate source of power depending on the drive mode you select. As a result, the engine will automatically start or stop as needed to either charge the battery or provide supplemental power. Under certain circumstances, the engine may turn on or, if it is already on, it may not turn off.

  • Page 17 Power Source and Charging Electric Source When the High Voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the vehicle is propelled solely by the electric motor. When the remaining power of the High Voltage battery drops to a certain level, the vehicle switches to HV. To maintain charge levels, you can, at any time, use the HV button to switch the vehicle to HV.
  • Page 18 HV Button You can enable HV or HV Charge by pressing the HV button. HV Charge Indicator The HV indicator comes on regardless of which source you have HV Charge enabled. If you press the HV button again, or set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF or ACCESSORY, the source you have selected will be canceled.
  • Page 19 HV Charge To enable HV Charge, press the HV button until the HV Charge indicator turns on. While the vehicle is in HV Charge, the High Voltage battery will continue to charge until the battery charge level display reaches 12 segments.
  • Page 20 Energy Efficiency As with a gasoline powered vehicle, the fuel efficiency and the range of this vehicle is most impacted by the driver’s driving style. Aggressive acceleration and high-speed driving can easily trigger the system to switch the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered engine. Climate control system usage also has a strong impact with heavy usage negatively affecting the vehicle’s range.
  • Page 21 High Voltage system automatically shuts down, and the vehicle can no longer move under its own power. To return the High Voltage system back to normal operation, consult an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer. Honda collects and recycles High Voltage batteries used in its vehicles. Consult an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer for more information.
