Honda HR-V
The small crossover, sold as the Vezel in Japan — search both, because Japanese-market material covers the hybrid versions Europe and America did not always get. Built on the Fit's platform, so Fit information covers the powertrain and the centre fuel tank that gives it the Magic Seats. The first generation's i-DCD hybrid used a seven-speed dual-clutch with a motor inside it rather than a planetary e-CVT, and its clutch and control faults are unlike anything on Honda's later i-MMD cars.

A Fit underneath; the i-DCD hybrid puts a motor inside a seven-speed dual-clutch, which fails in ways an e-CVT cannot.

The hybrid moves to i-MMD, where the engine usually drives a generator rather than the wheels — a different architecture entirely.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
