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.

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.

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 (P88)

12 Volt Battery Charging System Indicator (P69)

If a crash occurs ● Be careful of electric shock hazard.

IMA Battery

IMA Power Cable

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.
