Quick Reference Guide
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
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.
IMA Battery
IMA Power Cable
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 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.
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.
