To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attached
to the seat rail and provides the airbag control
unit with information on the seat’s fore-aft
position. The airbag control unit controls
deployment of the driver’s front airbag in
accordance with the information it receives
from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s
seat position sensor, the SRS warning light in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-39.

The passenger’s seat occupant classification
sensor system is attached to the front passen-
ger seat cushion and provides the airbag con-
trol unit with information regarding the
occupant on the front passenger seat. The air-
bag control unit controls deployment of the
passenger’s front airbag in accordance with
the information it receives from this system.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
in an impact when the system senses no occu-
pant on the front passenger’s seat or a child in
a child restraint system. In this case, the pas-
senger airbag off indicator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on
page 4-38.
If there is a problem involving the passen-
ger’s seat occupant classification sensor sys-
tem, the SRS warning light in the instrument
panel will come on. Refer to “SRS warning
light/display” on page 4-39.
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 driv-
ing 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 inves-
tigation.
