privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record information
about the vehicle’s performance and
how it is driven.For example, the
vehicle uses computer modules to
monitor and control engine and
transmission performance, to
monitorthe conditions for airbag
deployment and deploy them in a
crash, and, if equipped, to provide
antilock braking to help the driver
control the vehicle. These modules
may store data to help the dealer
technician service the vehicle.
Somemodules may also store data
about how the vehicle is operated,
such as rate of fuel consumption or
average speed.These modules may
retain personal preferences, such as
radio presets, seat positions, and
temperature settings.

Vehicle Data Recording
This vehicle may be equipped with a
module that records data in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as when an air bag deploys or
the vehicle hits a road obstacle. This
data could help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances
in which crashes and injuries occur.
Some data may be related to the
vehicle dynamics and safety systems
operation.
The data may show:
• How various systems in the
vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened.
• If and how far the driver was
pressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was
traveling.
