INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE
VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS
WARNING: The installation of non-
approved parts and accessories, or
the carrying out of non-approved
modifications, may be dangerous and
could affect the safety of the vehicle and
occupants, and also invalidate the terms
and conditions of the vehicle warranty.
WARNING: Karma Automotive will
not accept any liability for death,
personal injury or damage to property
which may occur as a direct result of non-
approved modifications or the installation
of non-approved accessories.
If you have a disability which may require
modification to the vehicle, please contact
Karma Automotive before any
modifications are made.
QUALITY CONTROL
You may have noticed a few miles/kms on
the odometer when you took delivery of
your Revero. Some of these miles were a
result of the comprehensive process used
to ensure the quality of your Revero.
This process includes extensive inspections
during and after production. The final
inspection takes place at the selling
Retailer and includes a road test
conducted by a trained Karma Automotive
Technician.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING: Certain vehicle
components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. In addition, certain
fluids contained in vehicles and certain by-
products of component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
CALIFORNIA PERCHLORATE
ADVISORY
WARNING: Certain components of
this vehicle such as air bag modules,
seat belt pre-tensioners and Lithium
batteries may contain Perchlorate
Material. Special handling may apply for
service or vehicle end of life disposal. See
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
DATA RECORDING
SERVICE DATA RECORDING
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This
potentially includes information about the
performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle such as engine,
throttle, steering or brakes. In order to
properly diagnose and service your vehicle,
Karma Automotive and its authorized
service facilities may access vehicle
diagnostic information through a direct
connection to your vehicle.
EVENT DATA RECORDING
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such data (as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle),
will assist in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics
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 accelerator and/or
brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
