Honda Odyssey (2019 year). Instruction - part 1

 

 

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;

WARNING

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. 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.

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 service-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.

California Perchlorate Contamination Prevention Act

The airbags, seat belt tensioners, and CR type batteries in this 
vehicle may contain perchlorate materials - special handling may 
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/

As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded 
by a 

 symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid 

damage to your vehicle, other property, or the environment.

the End User License Agreement in Owner’s Manual, and which
