VEHICLE DATA COLLECTION AND 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 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; 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 (for example, 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 
investigation.
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.

 Information
If you cannot open the charging door due 
to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove 
any ice near the charging door. Do not try 
to forcibly open the charging door. 
4.  Check if there is dust on the charging 
connector and charging inlet. 
5.  Hold the charging connector handle
