Introduction -> Service Data Recording for Your Ford Focus 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2010)

Introduction  
Special instructions  
For your added safety, your vehicle is fitted with sophisticated electronic  
controls.  
Please read the section Airbag supplemental restraint system  
(SRS) in the Seating and Safety Restraints chapter. Failure to  
follow the specific warnings and instructions could result in personal  
injury.  
Front seat mounted rear-facing child or infant seats should  
NEVER be placed in front of an active passenger airbag.  
Service Data Recording  
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and  
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially  
includes information about the performance or status of various systems  
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake  
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford  
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may  
access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct connection to your  
vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.  
Event Data Recording  
Other modules in your vehicle — event data recorders — are capable of  
collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The  
recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event.  
The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the  
occupants, potentially including information such as:  
how various systems in your vehicle were operating;  
whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;  
how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the  
brake pedal;  
how fast the vehicle was traveling; and  
where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
