These data can help provide a better under-
standing 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 con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gen-
der, age, and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforce-
ment, 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 en-
forcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.

Child Restraints — Carrying
Children Safely
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up
at all times, including babies and children. EC
directive 2003/20/EC requires proper use of
restraints in all EC countries.
Children less than 1.5 meters tall and 12 years
or younger should ride properly buckled up in a
rear seat, if available. According to crash statis-
tics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
WARNING!
• NEVER use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
• Never install a rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. If
the vehicle does not have a rear seat, do
not transport a rear-facing child restraint in
that vehicle.
• A deploying passenger front airbag can
cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.
• In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint
for the child's size.
There are different sizes and types of restraints
for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
Children should ride rearward facing as long as
possible; this is the most protected position for a
child in the event of a crash. Always check the
