formation into its internal memory to be
reviewed at a later time when the vehicle
is not in motion, and parked in a safe
place. Only use the Data Recording func-
tionality if it is safe to do so. Do not use
this feature if doing so in any way will di-
vert your attention from the safe operation
of your vehicle. lways observe safe driv-
