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 its wiring (orange).
● Avoid contact with IMA battery fluid.
u
The battery fluid may leak as a result of a crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact with the
fluid. The battery fluid is corrosive. If you accidentally touched it, flush your eyes or skin
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 Nickel hydride battery. Honda collects and recycles used IMA batteries –
consult with your dealer for proper battery disposal in the event your vehicle is not
repairable.
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.
