Honda CRZ 2016 Owner's Manual

California Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING: This product contains or emits
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTICE
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
00X31-SZT-6500 2016 CR-Z Owner's Manual AOM02225
The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains confidential.
California Perchlorate Contamination Prevention Act
The airbags, seat belt tensioners, and CR type batteries in this vehicle may contain perchlorate materials - special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/
As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

The Honda IMA System

The main power source for the Honda IMA system is the gasoline engine. The electric motor assists the engine to improve fuel economy, based on current operating conditions.
Tips to Improve Fuel Economy
To help your vehicle’s fuel economy:
Avoid aggressive acceleration/braking
Monitor the ambient meter and the Eco drive bar
displayed on the multi-information display. It reflects your driving style. (P10, 94)
Start-up/Low speed cruise/ Aggressive acceleration
The electric motor assists the engine.

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 the 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 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.

Quick Reference Guide
Airbags
(P43)
Your vehicle is fitted with airbags to help protect you and your passenger during a moderate-to-severe collision.
Child Safety
(P58)
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers. If you decide to disregard our recommendations and transport a child passenger, the child should be properly restrained. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the passenger's seat.
Exhaust Gas Hazard
(P66)
Your vehicle emits dangerous exhaust gases that contain carbon monoxide. Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can accumulate.
Before Driving Checklist
(P244)
Before driving, check that the seats, steering wheel, and mirrors have been properly adjusted.
Seat Belts
(P36)
Fasten your seat belt and sit upright well back in the seat.
Check that your passenger is wearing their seat belt correctly.
Fasten your lap belt as low as possible.
