In case anyone reads this and is still wondering. No, you can not run this at 5V. The max VDD is 3.6V NOT 6V. Many 5V devices can read 3.3V logic. If you pull the I2C lines to 3.3V the sensor will be safe and the Arduino will likely be able to read from the sensor. Make sure your Arduino is programmed before connecting the sensor, you don’t want the Arduino setting the I/O line high. The Arduino should only set the line low or as an input. If you want to play it safe use an I2C level shifter.
