Vehicle Damage Warnings

IMA System

The CIVIC Hybrid has an Auto-Stop system that shuts the engine off under certain conditions to improve fuel economy while the vehicle is at a stop. In Auto-Stop mode, driver input, such as pressing the cluch with the transmission in gear (manual transmission) and releasing the brake pedal (CVT), will cause the engine to restart.

Before servicing the CIVIC Hybrid, turn the ignition swrich OFF and remove the key so the engine cannot be started.

Before performing any service on the CIVIC Hybrid's IMA system, make sure to turn the battery module switch OFF and wait five minutes before working on the vehicle.
