To Keep the IMA Battery in Good Condition
Drive your vehicle at least once a month for more than 30 minutes.
Parking your vehicle for an extended period can cause the IMA battery to weaken or decrease the IMA battery life.
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.
Do not spill any liquids on or around the IMA
battery, as they can damage the IMA battery.
If you accidentally spill liquids on or around
the battery, ensure that the spill is completely
wiped up as soon as possible.
The IMA system indicator may come on.
If a crash occurs
Be careful of electric shock hazard.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
Safety Precautions
Do not cover the 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.
