After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, the

Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for abulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, itindicates that there is a problem with the electronics.

Either of these conditions will result in theengine being shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normalvehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electron-ics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soonas possible by an authorized dealer.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder(EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, incertain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that willassist in understanding how a vehicles systems per-

formed. The EDR is designed to record data related tovehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period oftime, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicleis designed to record such data as:
