Maintenance
High Voltage Battery
If you park for a long time, the high voltage battery will discharge little by little. Ride for at least 30 minutes at least once every three months to maintain battery performance. The battery will be charged by driving. If you do not drive for a long period of time, the charging capacity of the high-voltage battery may decrease or the life may be shortened.
Also, to extend the life of the battery, it recommends to park the vehicle in the shade in order to direct expose to sunlight.

How to Jump Start the Vezel?
First, open the hood and check the status of 12V battery. Do not use if battery fluid is low. Next, turn off the power to electric devices such as audio and lights. Securely fix the clips of the booster cable so that it will not come off due to engine vibration.
1. Set the power mode of your vehicle and secure vehicle to OFF mode/ engine switch to 0.
2. Connect the booster cable to the + terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery
3. Connect the other side of the cable to the + terminal of the booster battery in the rescue vehicle.
- For rescue vehicle, use a vehicle equipped with 12V battery
- When using a car charger, set the voltage to 15V or less
4. Connect second jumper cable to the - terminal of the booster battery in the rescue vehicle
5. Connect the other side of the cable to the stud bolt of your vehicle's engine. Do not connect this booster cable to any other part.
6. Start the engine of the rescue vehicle and accelerate slightly.
7. Start the power system of your vehicle.
What to do after the engine starts
Once your vehicle engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the following order.
1. Remove the cable from the stud bolt of your car's engine.
2. Remove the other side of the cable from the - terminal of the 12V booster battery of the rescue vehicle.
3. Disconnect the cable from the + terminal of your vehicle's 12V battery
4) Remove the other side of the cable from + terminal of the rescue vehicle's 12V battery
5) Idling until the 5.12V battery voltage is restored.
- You can drive if the READY indicator lights up
- If the warning indicators for the brake system, ABS, and VSA do not turn off, turn off the power system and restart your vehicle's power system. If the warning lights still not turned off, something is wrong. So please contact Honda dealer.

How to repair tire puncture ?
If the tires are severely damaged, you will need to tow the vehicle. If the tire simply has a small hole, repair it with a tire puncture emergency repair kit that temporarily repairs the damage so that you can drive to nearest dealer for a permanent repair.
If you have a flat tire, hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually brake to slow down and stop in a safe place.
Note:- Emergency repair kit cannot be used in the following cases.
- When the emergency repair agent has expired
- When two or more tires are flat
- When puncture due to a cut or puncture about 4mm or more
- When a part other than the ground contact area is damaged and punctured
- When damage has been caused by driving with tires extremely under inflated
- When the tire is off the wheel
- When the rim is damaged
Please do not pull out the nails stuck in the tire. If it is pulled out, it may not be possible to make and emergency repair with the tire puncture emergency repair kit.
Preparing for temporarily repair of the flat tire
For AWD vehicle
1) Remove the cover on the right side of the cargo space
For all vehicles
2) Remove the lid while pulling the handle on the right side of the cargo space
3) Remove the buckle and take out the tire puncture emergency repair kit
