Honda Accord Hybrid 2022 User Manual

Honda Accord Hybrid 2022

The Honda Accord Hybrid for the 2022 model year is a variant of the popular Honda Accord sedan that offers improved fuel efficiency through hybrid technology. It combines the style, comfort, and features of the standard Accord with the benefits of hybrid powertrain technology. The 2022 Accord Hybrid features a sleek and modern exterior design that closely resembles the non-hybrid Accord. It offers a spacious and comfortable interior, with seating for up to five passengers and a range of premium materials and features, depending on the trim level. The hybrid powertrain of the 2022 Accord Hybrid consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack. This setup allows for efficient power delivery and excellent fuel economy. The Accord Hybrid utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for smooth and seamless acceleration.

The hybrid system in the 2022 Accord Hybrid offers different driving modes to suit different preferences and maximize efficiency. It can operate in all-electric mode for short distances, EV mode, where the vehicle runs solely on electric power, or in a combination of gasoline and electric power, depending on driving conditions. The Accord Hybrid also comes equipped with Honda Sensing® as standard, which includes a suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies such as Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more. In terms of technology and features, the 2022 Accord Hybrid offers a range of amenities, including a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and available wireless charging. Overall, the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid combines the benefits of hybrid efficiency with the comfort, style, and technology of the Accord sedan. For more specific and up-to-date information, I recommend visiting the official Honda website or contacting a Honda dealership.

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.
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.
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. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.
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/

SPORT HYBRID i-MMD SYSTEM MAIN COMPONENTS
Gasoline Engine– Runs the generator and under certain
conditions drives the wheels directly.

Generator– Starts the engine and generates electric power when driven by the gasoline engine to supply electricity to power the electric motor and/or to charge the High Voltage battery.
Electric Motor– Provides propulsion to drive the wheels in conjunction with the gasoline engine in certain conditions and provides electricity to the High Voltage battery through regenerative braking.
High Voltage Battery– Provides electrical storage and serves as a power source for the electric motor.
Learning about the High Voltage battery’s characteristics will help you get the best handling and maximize the range of your electric vehicle. (P446)
High Voltage Battery Charge Level Indicator– Displays battery state of charge.

When the indicator: 

• Displays two or less segments, EV mode is no longer available.
• Displays ten segments, battery charge level is full.

EV Button
EV mode is enabled by pressing the EV button near the shift button.
The EV mode indicator comes on in the instrument panel when EV mode is enabled.
Press the EV button again to switch back to HV mode.
Some conditions, such as a low High Voltage battery level and a high vehicle speed, may keep the system from manually switching into EV mode. The beeper sounds and a message appears on the driver information interface with the button pressed when EV mode is disabled.
Shifts in vehicle, driving, or road conditions may automatically cancel EV mode and switch back to HV mode.

A message will appear on the driver information interface and EV mode may be canceled automatically when:

• The High Voltage battery charge level is low.
• Your vehicle speed is too high.
• Your vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) while the engine is in warming-up operation.
• You fully depress the accelerator pedal.
• You are driving on hilly road.

Important Safety Precautions
Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and wear them properly.
