Vehicle Description Vehicle Overview The Accord Sport Hybrid is powered by a two-motor hybrid system, which consists of a 4cylinder 2.0 liter petrol engine teamed with a 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor and a generator. The system allows the powertrain to move between all-electric drive, petrol-electric hybrid drive, and direct engine drive. Electric driving is supported by a 1.3 kilowatt-hour (kWh) (260 volt) high-voltage (HV) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery mounted behind the rear seats. The battery is charged under certain driving conditions.

Vehicle Description Vehicle Type and Construction The Accord Sport Hybrid is a four-door, five-passenger vehicle. Most of its structural components are made of steel. Other parts are made of aluminum and plastic.

Vehicle Description Vehicle Identification You can identify a Honda Accord Sport Hybrid by the exterior “Hybrid ” marks located on the front fenders and the trunk lid. You can also identify an Accord Hybrid by the “Hybrid ” mark and orange cabling under the bonnet.

Vehicle Description Power Control Unit (PCU) The PCU is located under the hood on the passenger’s side directly above the electric generator and electric motor and adjacent to the 12V battery and the underhood fuse box. The PCU houses the electric motor/generator electronic control unit (ECU), the power distribution unit (PDU), and the voltage control unit (VCU). These components are nonserviceable, so the PCU should not be opened or disassembled.

Vehicle Description 12-Volt Battery A conventional 12-volt battery is located under the hood on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. This battery powers the airbags, lights, audio system, and other standard 12volt system components. In an emergency situation, it may be necessary to disconnect or cut the 12-volt battery negative cable.

High-Voltage (HV) Battery Pack A 1.3 kilowatt hour (kWh) high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack is located in a well protected area behind the rear seat. The battery pack is made up of 72 3.6 volt cells, totaling approximately 260 volts. The Intelligent Power Unit (IPU), the HV battery ECU, the battery contactors, a forced air cooling system, and other battery system controls are housed with the battery pack.

Vehicle Description Electric Motor/Generator The two-motor hybrid system contains an electric motor and a generator. The electric motor propels the vehicle using electric power directly produced by the generator and/or supplied by the high-voltage (HV) battery.

Vehicle Description High-Voltage Cables High-voltage flows through easy to identify heavy-duty orange cables. These cables are purposely routed through areas away from the usual cut points.

Occupant Protection Equipment The Accord Sport Hybrid is equipped with lap/shoulder belts in all five seating positions. Front seat belts are equipped with pyrotechnically activated tensioners that help tighten the seat belt in a crash. Front, front side, and side curtain airbags are also provided. In a collision severe enough to deploy one or more of the airbags, the Accord Hybrid electrical system is designed to automatically open the high-voltage electrical contactors. This disconnects the high-voltage battery from the other high-voltage components and stops the flow of electricity in the high-voltage cables. Responders should always assume, however, that the HV system is powered “on” and take the appropriate action described later in this guide to power the system “off.” It takes up to 3 minutes for the airbags and tensioners to de-power after the 12-volt system has been turned off by following the emergency shut-down procedures provided later in this manual.

Potential Hazards Electric Shock Unprotected contact with any electrically charged or “hot” high-voltage component can cause serious injury or death. Receiving an electric shock from a Accord Hybrid, however, is highly unlikely because of the following: • Contact with the battery module or other highvoltage components only can occur if they are damaged and the contents are exposed or if they are accessed without following proper precautions. • Contact with the electric motor only can occur after one or more components are removed. • The high-voltage cables can be easily identified by their distinctive orange color and contact with them can be avoided. If severe damage causes high-voltage components to become exposed, responders should take appropriate precautions and wear appropriate insulated personal protective equipment.

Potential Hazards Lithium-ion Battery Fumes or Fire A damaged high-voltage lithium-ion battery can emit toxic fumes and the organic solvent used as electrolyte is flammable and corrosive, so responders should wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Even after a lithium-ion battery fire appears to have been extinguished, a renewed or delayed fire can occur. The battery manufacturer cautions responders that extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire will take a large and sustained volume of water. Responders should always ensure that a Accord Hybrid with a damaged battery is kept outdoors and far away from other flammable objects in order to minimize the possibility of collateral fire damage should the battery catch on fire.

Emergency Procedures Vehicle Collision In the event of a crash, the airbag control unit makes a judgment based on input from the impact sensors, and if the input values meet various threshold requirements, the airbag control unit sends a signal to the high-voltage battery ECU. The battery ECU then turns off the high-voltage battery contactors stopping the flow of electrical current from the high-voltage battery. When responding to an incident involving a Honda Accord Hybrid, we recommend that emergency personnel follow their organization’s standard operating procedures for assessing and dealing with vehicle emergencies. Given our knowledge of the Accord Hybrid, we also recommend that responders follow the procedures on the following pages to avoid potentially lethal shock by high-voltage.

Emergency Procedures Submerged Vehicle If a Accord Hybrid is submerged or partly submerged in water, first pull the vehicle out of the water. Then shut down the high-voltage system using one of the two procedures described on the following pages. Absent severe damage to the vehicle, there is no risk of electric shock from touching the car’s body or framework — in or out of the water. If the high-voltage battery was submerged, you may hear noises from the battery as the cells are being discharged from shorting.

Emergency Procedures Preventing Current Flow Through High-Voltage Cables Before attempting to rescue occupants or move a damaged Accord Hybrid, you should reduce the potential for current to flow from the electric motor or the HV battery through the high-voltage cables.

There are two recommended methods for preventing current flow. These are

discussed on the following pages.

Emergency Procedures BEST METHOD for HV Shutdown Push and hold the Start/Stop button for 3 seconds. This simple action turns off the gasoline engine and immediately shuts down the high-voltage system controllers, thereby preventing current flow into the cables. It also cuts power to the airbags and the seat belt tensioners, though these pyrotechnic devices have up to a three minute deactivation time. To prevent accidental restarting, you must remove the keyless remote from the vehicle and move it at least 7 meters away. If you cannot locate the keyless remote, you should also perform the SECOND-BEST METHOD (for preventing high-voltage current flow) on the following page.

Push and hold the start/stop button for 3 seconds

Emergency Procedures SECOND-BEST METHOD for HV Shutdown Locate and cut the negative 12-volt battery cable and the DC to DC Converter cable.

2

Together, cutting the negative 12-volt battery cable and cutting the DC to DC Converter cable turns off the gasoline engine and immediately shuts down the high-voltage system controllers, thereby preventing current flow into the high-voltage cables. 1. Locate the cut point labels shown. Cut the negative battery cable first (1), then cut the DC to DC Converter cable (2). When cutting the DC to DC Converter Cable, do not allow the cutting tool to contact any surrounding metal parts; electrical arcing could occur which can ignite any flammable vapors. NOTE: If you cannot perform either method to stop the engine and prevent current flow into the high-voltage cables, use extreme care and do not touch damaged cables as they may be “hot.”

Cut the negative 12V battery cable and then cut the DC to DC Converter cable.

Emergency Procedures Extricating Occupants If you need to cut the vehicle body, or use Jaws-of-Life equipment to remove occupants, be sure to stay within the cut zone indicated in the illustration below.

Side-curtain airbag inflator Cut Zone

Emergency Towing & Repairs Emergency Towing The preferred method is to use a flat bed tow truck. If wheel lift equipment must be used, be sure to suspend the front wheels and release the parking brake. Be aware that when rolling a damaged Accord Hybrid with the front (drive) wheels on the ground, the electric motor can produce electricity and remains a potential source of electric shock even when the high-voltage system is turned off.

Dealer Inspection and Repair A damaged Accord Hybrid should be taken directly to a Honda Accord Hybrid dealer for a thorough inspection and, if appropriate, any necessary repairs.

High-Voltage Battery Recycling The high-voltage lithium-ion battery requires special handling and disposal. Contact an authorized Honda dealer or Honda New Zealand at (0800- 2HONDA for instructions.

PART 1

Vehicle Description IDENTIFYING A HONDA HYBRID The easiest way to identify a hybrid is by the word or an IMA sticker on the rear of the vehicle. If the word hybrid is not visible on the rear of the vehicle, due to damage for example, the presence of orange cables under the hood, or orange shielding under the car, would also identify the vehicle as a hybrid.

2000-2006 Insight (2 Door)

The Insight can be identified by its aerodynamic shape and by the name e.g. Insight and a hybrid badge or IMA sticker on the rear of the vehicle. The 2000-2006 Insight has rear wheel fender covers, the 2010 model does not.

2010-2011 Insight (4 Door)

Except for a few minor differences in equipment, such as a roof antenna, there is very little difference in the exterior or interior appearance of the Civic and Jazz IMA/Hybrid compared to those of their petrol powered counterparts.

2003-2005 Civic Hybrid

The CRZ is a two-door, two passenger sports car.

2006-2011 Civic Hybrid

2012 Civic IMA The Civic Hybrids above, look essentially the same as their conventional counterparts.

2011 CRZ

Orange cables under the hood, or orange shielding bolted to the undercarriage of a Honda tell you the vehicle is a an IMA.

The two-door CRZ has a sportier appearance than Honda’s other IMA vehicles

2012 Jazz Hybrid

PART 1

Vehicle Description PETROL ENGINE The main power source of all Honda IMA’s/hybrids is a conventional petrol engine, located under the hood.

Early IMA models

ELECTRIC MOTOR During start-up and acceleration, an electric motor, located between the engine and the transmission, provides assistance to the engine. During braking and deceleration, the motor acts as a generator, recharging both the high-voltage battery module and the 12-volt battery. 12 -VOLT BATTERY A conventional 12-volt battery, also located under the hood, powers all standard electronics. In Honda IMA’s, this battery also provides power to the highvoltage battery control systems. Disconnecting or cutting the negative cables to the battery may be necessary in some emergency situations. UNDER BONNET FUSE BOX Pre 2010 Insights and all Civic Hybrids/IMA’s have a fuse box under the hood on the driver’s side of the engine compartment. Removing the main fuse from the box may be required in some emergency situations. POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL In Insights newer than 2010, Jazz and CRZ, the main fuse is located in the positive battery terminal. Cutting or removing the DC to DC converter cable, which is connected to this terminal, may be required in some emergency situations.

Recent IMA models

PART 1

Vehicle Description HIGH -VOLTAGE BATTERY MODULES The electric motor is powered by a nickel-metalhydride (NiMH) battery module. The module contains groups, or “sticks,” of 1.2-volt cells, each about the size of a D-cell battery. The number of cells varies by vehicle model, and total voltages range from 100-158 volts. Since the battery module is recharged by the electric motor whenever the vehicle decelerates, the battery does not need external charging. The electric motor in the 2012 Civic and 2013 (YM) CRZ IMA is powered by a lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery module. This battery contains four groups, or “stacks,” of ten 3.6-volt cells, each a little larger than a typical cell phone. The total voltage is 144 volts, very similar to the NiMH batteries that power other Honda IMA’s. Since both types of battery modules are recharged whenever a Honda IMA vehicle decelerates, neither ever needs external charging. HIGH -VOLTAGE BATTERY BOX The high-voltage battery module is stored in a sturdy box, such as the one shown here with the lid removed. The box contains other important components which, together with the battery, make up the Intelligent Power Unit (IPU). All components inside the battery box are completely insulated and isolated from the vehicle body. For maximum safety, the high-voltage battery box is positioned behind the seat-backs or in the cargo area where it is well-protected from potential damage in a collision.

PART 1

Vehicle Description HIGH -VOLTAGE CABLES Electrical energy flows between the high-voltage battery module and the motor through three heavyduty orange cables. In Civic Hybrid/IMA’s newer than 2006, highvoltage cables also deliver current to the air conditioning (AC) compressor. This allows the AC to continue running when the vehicle is in the Auto Idle Stop mode. (Under certain conditions, Auto Idle Stop automatically turns the engine off when the car comes to a stop, at a stop light for example.) Between the battery box and the engine compartment, the high-voltage cables are routed under the vehicle, inside sturdy orange plastic protective shields or a strong orange pipe. Where the cables lie close to the exhaust system, a metal thermal shield covers, but does not obscure, the orange high-voltage shield. To improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, some sections of the high-voltage cables are located behind panelling. High-voltage alert symbols ( ) may be stamped into the panelling to indicate the cables’ path.

PART 1

Potential Hazards Honda IMA’s do not present any unusual hazards. The vehicles have performed well in standard crash tests, with no damage to high-voltage components in front, side, or rear impacts. Note: Japanese used cars may vary. FLAMMABLE FLUIDS Petrol-electric hybrids have the same potential fire and explosion hazards as conventional vehicles. (See model specific pages for flammable fluid capacities.)

Follow recommended procedures to avoid possible injury from a deployed airbag or inflator.

UNDEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND TENSIONERS All Honda IMA’s have front airbags and front seat belt tensioners. All except 2000 - 2006 Insight have side airbags in the front. Side curtain airbags are standard in all Civics 2006 onward, Insights 2010 onward, Jazz 2009 and CRZ. These systems all use pyrotechnic devices with a deactivator time of 3 minutes. As with other airbag-equipped vehicles, being struck by a deploying front or side airbag, or cutting into an inactivated inflator, can result in moderate to severe injuries. Injuries can also result from contact with a deploying side curtain airbag, or having a seat belt tensioner activate unexpectedly. To reduce the risk of injury during the deactivation period, we recommend the following: • Keep out of the path of an undeployed front airbag, and do not cut into the centre of the steering wheel or dashboard where the front airbags are stored. • Do not cut into the rear (C) pillar on the CRZs, 2006 onward Civics, 2009 onwards Jazz and 2010 onward Insights, as that is where the side curtain inflators are stored. • Be aware that extreme heat (160-1800C) can cause unintended airbag inflation.

6

PART 1

Potential Hazards ELECTRIC SHOCK POTENTIAL Unprotected contact with any electrically charged (“hot” or “live”) high-voltage component can cause serious injury or death. However, receiving an electric shock from a Honda Hybrid/IMA is highly unlikely because of these facts: • Contact with the battery module or other components inside the battery box can occur only if the box is damaged and the contents are exposed, or the box is opened without following proper precautions. • Contact with the electric motor can occur only after one or more components are removed. • The high-voltage cables can be easily identified by their distinctive orange colour, and contact with them can be avoided. It’s also important to understand in what situations the high-voltage cables can potentially be “hot”: All Honda IMA’s/Hybrids: Whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is running, the high-voltage battery is either supplying current to the electric motor or receiving current generated by the electric motor.

7

PART 1

Potential Hazards Civic Hybrid/IMA 2006 Onward: With these models, the high-voltage battery powers the air conditioner compressor as well as the electric motor. So, if the ignition switch is in the ON position, the air conditioner is on, and the engine has been turned off by the Auto Idle Stop feature (at a stop light, for example), current will flow through the cables to the air conditioner compressor. Regardless of the model, if the ignition switch is turned off, the flow of high-voltage current will stop. The lesson, therefore, is: Electric current cannot flow into the high-voltage cables when the ignition is OFF.

NiMH Cell

Li-lon Module

HIGH -VOLTAGE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE Small quantities of a highly alkaline liquid electrolyte, which is corrosive to human tissue, are used in the manufacture of the high-voltage battery cells. However, in the finished cells, electrolyte is non-liquid and sealed in a sturdy case, and any leakage would be extremely rare. Moreover, the electrolyte is non-flammable, nonexplosive, and creates no hazardous fumes or vapours in normal operating conditions. The electrolyte in the Li-Ion battery module in the 2012 Civic Hybrid and 2013 CRZ is flammable and will burn if the battery cell is broken open, giving off gases that can cause irritation if inhaled. If the electrolyte simply leaks out, appropriate skin and eye protection are recommended.

12 -VOLT BATTERY ELECTROLYTE Any hazards from contact with the 12-volt battery electrolyte are the same as those with batteries in conventional passenger vehicles.

Electrolyte in the high-voltage battery cells is flammable and present a hazard.

PART 1

Emergency Procedures Based on discussions with rescue professionals, we recommend that emergency response personnel follow standard procedures developed by their own organization for assessing situations and dealing with potential hazards. Given our knowledge of Honda IMA’s, we also recommend that you use the procedures outlined in this section. VEHICLE FIRE There are no unusual hazards if a Honda hybrid/IMA or the high-voltage battery box is involved in a fire. It should be noted, however, that extremely high temperatures (160-1800C) can cause undeployed airbags to deploy. SUBMERGED OR PARTIALLY SUBMERGED VEHICLE Pull the vehicle out of the water, then use one of the procedures described below for preventing electric current from flowing through the high-voltage cables. There is no risk of electric shock from touching the car’s body or framework —in or out of the water. PREVENTING CURRENT FLOW THROUGH HIGH – VOLTAGE CABLES Before attempting to rescue occupants or move a damaged Honda hybrid/IMA, you should reduce the potential for current to flow from the electric motor or the battery module through the high-voltage cables. There are two recommended methods for preventing current flow. These are discussed on the following pages.

9

IF ON FIRE

Standard procedures are recommended if a Honda hybrid/IMA is involved in fire.

IF SUBMERGED

Pull vehicle from water, then follow recommended procedures for preventing high-voltage current flow.

PART 1

Potential Hazards BEST METHOD FOR PREVENTING HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT FLOW (ALL MODELS)

Turn the ignition switch off. This simple action turns off the engine and the electric motor, preventing current flow into the cables. It also turns off power to the airbags and the seat belt tensioners. After you turn the ignition switch off, remove the key so the car cannot be accidentally restarted. SECOND -BEST METHOD FOR PREVENTING HIGH -VOLTAGE CURRENT FLOW (EXCEPT 2010 ONWARD INSIGHT, JAZZ AND CRZ) Cut both negative 12-volt battery cables and remove the main fuse. Together, cutting the negative 12-volt battery cables and removing the main fuse turns off the engine and the electric motor and cuts power to the highvoltage system controllers, thereby preventing current flow into the cables. It also cuts power to the airbags and the seat belt tensioners.

10

PART 1

Emergency Procedures 1. Locate the 12-volt battery and cut the negative cables with diagonal cutters.

2. Locate the under bonnet fuse box, and remove the cover (see model-specific pages for fuse box locations). 3. Locate the main fuse by referring to the diagram on top of, or inside, the fuse box cover. (The 2000-2006 Insight fuse box is shown here only as an example. See the model-specific pages for photos of the individual fuse boxes.) 4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the main fuse assembly and remove it from the box. (The Civic Hybrid main fuse screws are shown here as an example. See model-specific pages for location of the main fuse screws). Note: If you cannot perform either method to stop the engine and prevent current flow into the high voltage cables, use extreme care, do not cut into the cables, and do not touch damaged cables as they may be “hot.”

11

PART 1

Emergency Procedures SECOND -BEST METHOD FOR PREVENTING HIGH -VOLTAGE CURRENT FLOW (2010 ONWARD INSIGHT, JAZZ AND CRZ) Cut the negative 12-volt battery cable, then cut or disconnect the DC to DC converter cable at the positive battery terminal. Together, cutting the 12-volt negative cable and cutting or disconnecting the DC to DC converter cable turns off the engine and the electric motor and cuts power to the high voltage system controllers. This stops the flow of current into the high-voltage cables and cuts power to the airbags and the seat belt tensioners. 1. Locate the 12-volt battery and cut the negative battery cable. 2. Locate the positive battery terminal and remove the cover. 3. Cut or disconnect the DC to DC converter cable.

NOTE: If you cannot perform either method to stop the engine and prevent current flow into the high voltage cables, use extreme care, do not cut into the cables and do not touch any damaged cables as they may be ‘HOT”.

12

PART 1

Emergency Procedures EXTRICATING OCCUPANTS If cutters or spreaders are needed to allow occupants to be rescued, make sure to stay within the cut zones recommended on the following pages. MOVING AND TOWING A HONDA IMA/HYBRID If a disabled vehicle needs to be moved a short distance (to the side of the road, for example), and the car can still roll on the ground, the easiest way is to shift the transmission into neutral and manually push the vehicle. To transport a vehicle away from an emergency location, a flatbed truck should be used if the vehicle might be repaired. If a flatbed is not available, the vehicle should be towed by wheel-lift equipment with the front wheels off the ground. Do not use sling-type towing equipment unless the car has been damaged beyond repair.
