Honda Civic Hybrid (2015 year). Instruction - part 1

California Proposition 65 Warning

Event Data Recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator

and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

WARNING: This product contains or emits
chemicals known to the state of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by
anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the
vehicle owner.

Service Diagnostic Recorders

This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record
information about powertrain performance. The data can be used
to verify emissions law requirements and/or help technicians
diagnose and solve service problems. It may also be combined with
data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains
confidential.

California Perchlorate Contamination Prevention Act

The airbags, seat belt tensioners, and CR type batteries in this
vehicle may contain perchlorate materials - special handling may
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/

As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded
by a

symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid

damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

● Avoid aggressive acceleration/braking

● Monitor the ambient meter and the Eco drive bar

displayed on the i-MID.
It reflects your driving style.

(P10, 90)

To Keep the IMA Battery in Good Condition

Drive your vehicle at least once a month, and drive for more than 30 minutes at a time. Parking your vehicle for an
extended period can cause the IMA battery to weaken or decrease the IMA battery life.

Safety Precautions

Do not cover the air intake.

Air Intake

If the air intake is obstructed during
vehicle operation, the IMA battery can
become too hot. To protect the battery,
the system may start limiting IMA battery
output power and cause the IMA system
and 12 volt battery charging system
indicators to come on.

IMA System Indicator

(P90)

12 Volt Battery Charging
System Indicator

(P69)

Do not touch the Honda IMA System

A high voltage current runs through Honda IMA System. Consult your authorized dealer
when maintenance or repair is needed.

If a crash occurs

● Be careful of electric shock hazard.

u

If a crash severely damaged your vehicle, there is a possibility of electrical shock. Do
not touch the IMA system components or their wiring (orange).

● Avoid contact with IMA battery fluid.

u

The battery fluid may leak as a result of a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye
contact with the fluid. The battery fluid is corrosive. If you accidentally touch it,
flush the affected area(s) with a large quantity of water for at least five minutes,
and seek medical attention immediately.

● Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.

u

Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with a small quantity of water can be
dangerous.

When the vehicle is disposed

● The IMA battery is a Lithium ion battery. Honda collects and recycles used IMA

batteries – consult with your dealer for proper battery disposal in the event your
vehicle is not repairable.

Exhaust Gas Hazard

(P64)

● Your vehicle emits dangerous exhaust gases that contain carbon

monoxide. Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon
monoxide gas can accumulate.
