I have always thought it retarded of cars to allow their batteries drained in this way. The car should be able to shut them off for you.

The 2006 sales brochure states the following:
"The Civic Hybrid's engine usally uses the IMA System's motor to start. If the IMA battery-pack charge is low or if its's very cold outside, the system has a seporate battery and starter motor to back it up"

This is not helpful.
I have always thought it retarded of cars to allow their batteries drained in this way. The car should be able to shut them off for you.
Also, there was one time that I ran down the batteries on my HCH-I, because I accidentally switched the lights into "parking light" position rather than the headlight position, and there was no warning for that (and in the spot where I was parked, it wasn't very apparent from outside, so I didn't notice). A simple jump-start was effective, however -- I had some cables, and had someone else parked near me to start the car up.

Chalk me up as another "What about the bong-bong-bong-bong?" I'm betting Adam Carolla would tell you to hang up and drive.
