Event Data Recorders
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 as an air bag deployment or hitting a 
road obstacle, data that 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 le ss. 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;
3WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning
Operating, servicing and maintaining a 
passenger vehicle or off-highway motor 
vehicle can expose you to chemicals including 
engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, 
phthalates, and lead, which are known to the 
State of California to cause cancer and birth 
defects or other reproductive harm. To 
minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, 
do not idle the engine except as necessary, 
service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area 
and wear gloves or wash your hands 
frequently when servicing your vehicle. For 
more information go to 
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
• How far (if at all) the driver  was depressing the accelerator 
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. Howeve r, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, could co mbine the EDR data with the type of 
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash 
investigation.
To read data recorded by an ED R, special equipment is required, 
and access to the vehicle or the ED R is needed. In addition to the 
vehicle manufacturer, other parties,  such as law enforcement, that 
have the special equipment, can re ad the information if they have 
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belongs to the vehicle ow ner and may not be accessed by 
anyone else except as legally requir ed or with the permission of the 
vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with serv ice-related devices that record 
information about powertrain perfo rmance. The data can be used 
to verify emissions law requirem ents and/or help technicians 
diagnose and solve service problems.  It may also be combined with 
data from other sources for res earch purposes, but it remains 
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is 
uploaded to Honda up on vehicle start up.
