Honda HR-V: Battery

Checking the Battery

The battery condition is being monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there is a problem with the sensor, the warning message on the information display will let you know. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Check the battery terminals for corrosion monthly.

If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead:

  • The audio system is disabled.
  • The clock resets.
  • The navigation system* is disabled.

WARNING

The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.

A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.

When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.

WARNING: Battery post, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.

Wash your hands after handling.

When replacing the battery, the replacement must be of the same specifications.

Consult a dealer for more information.

Charging the Battery

Disconnect both battery cables to prevent damaging your vehicle's electrical system.

Always disconnect the negative (-) cable first, and reconnect it last.

When you find corrosion, clean the battery terminals by applying a baking powder and water solution.

Clean the terminals with a damp towel. Cloth/towel dry the battery. Coat the terminals with grease to help prevent future corrosion.
