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 accel-

erator 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 investi-

gation.
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.

Child Restraints

Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all

times, including babies and children. Every state in the

United States, and every Canadian province, requires that

small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the

law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled

up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics,

children are safer when properly restrained in the rear

seats rather than in the front.

WARNING!

In a collision, an unrestrained child can become a
projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could become so great that
you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be badly injured or
killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a
proper restraint for the child’s size.
