Page 8 The Honda Plug-in Hybrid System Your Honda 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. The vehicle can be plugged in to charge the High Voltage battery or the battery can be recharged (to a degree) during vehicle use.
Page 9 HONDA PLUG-IN SYSTEM MAIN COMPONENTS Gasoline Engine – Provides propulsion to drive the wheels under certain driving conditions, and turns the generator. Generator – Starts the engine and generates electric power when driven by the gasoline engine to supply electricity to power to the electric motor and/or to charge the High Voltage battery.
Page 10 Selectable Driving Modes Electric (EV) mode – At start-up and during low- to mid-speed cruising, the vehicle is propelled by the electric motor, powered solely by electricity stored in the High Voltage battery. Not used during aggressive acceleration or while cruising at high speed. When the battery charge begins to run low, the vehicle switches to HV mode.

Page 12 HV Button HV and HV Charge modes are enabled by pressing the HV button near the shift lever. The HV indicator comes on in the instrument panel when either HV mode is enabled. Press When enabled, the system remains in HV mode until the HV button is pressed again.
Page 13 Pressing and holding the button : HV Charge mode starts. HV Charge mode charges the High Voltage battery as long as HV Charge mode is enabled. If the battery becomes completely charged, the system automatically switches to HV mode. Pressing the HV button also switches to HV mode before charging is complete. While in HV Charge mode, charging the High Voltage battery becomes the first priority.

Page 50 uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS) ■ Operation Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate. A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
Page 51 uuAirbagsuFront Airbags (SRS) ■ When front airbags should not deploy Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and help save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might occur during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash. Side impacts: Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration causes a driver or front passenger to move towards the front of the vehicle.
