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 . 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 ve-
hicle 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
.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available .
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front
.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems
.
This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it
.
