Quick Reference Guide
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. Depending on the state of charge, you can drive on solely
electric power (EV mode) for a while. The estimated range in EV mode is displayed on the multi-
information display or audio/information screen.
The system offers three different operating states;
you can drive with the electric motor or gasoline
engine, or by hybrid (a combination of the first
two). Under most driving conditions, the system
automatically selects an appropriate operating state
based on current driving needs, and prioritizes the
use of electricity (over gasoline) in order to help
improve your fuel economy. In addition, you can
manually switch the driving mode between electric
or hybrid mode using the HV button.
● Energy efficiency
As with a gasoline-powered vehicle, plug-in vehicle fuel efficiency and driving range is most impacted by your driving style. Aggressive
acceleration and high-speed driving can easily trigger the system to switch the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered engine.
In addition, heavy climate control system use negatively affects vehicle range and efficiency. Either of these use patterns will more quickly
reduce the High Voltage battery's state of charge.
● Battery types
There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle; a standard 12 volt battery that powers the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and
other standard 12 volt systems; and a high voltage battery that is used to power the propulsion motor and recharge the 12 volt battery.
