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. Howe ver, 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 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 r ead the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by
anyone else except as legally required 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 performance. The data can be used
to verify emissions law requirements and/or help technicians
diagnose and solve service problems. It may also be combined with
data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is
uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.

Honda Sensing® (P551)
Honda Sensing ® is a driver support system
which employs the use of two distinctly
different kinds of sensors: the sonar sensors
located in the front and rear bumpers, and
the front grille, and a front wide view
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windshield, behind the rearview mirror.

The system can assist you when it
determines there is a possibility of your
vehicle colliding with a vehicle (including
motorcycles) ahead from behind, an
oncoming vehicle in front, a pedestrian, or
someone riding a bicycle (moving bicycle).
The CMBS

the potential for a collision is determined, as
well as assist in reducing speed, avoiding
collisions, and reducing collision severity.

Using sonar sensors lo cated on the front and
rear bumpers, and the front grille, this
system detects if there is danger of a
potential collision with a wall or other
obstacle during normal driving or when the
accelerator pedal is depressed with too
much force. The system then assists in
avoiding collisions and reducing damage
from impact through assistive braking and/
or assistive driving power suppression.
