EVENT DATA RECORDERS (EDR) (if
equipped)
INSTALLATION OF AN RF TRANSMITTER
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 per-
formed. 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:
For countries conforming to UN regulation
No.10 or equivalent:
quired or permitted by law.
The installation of an RF transmitter in your
vehicle could affect electric equipment sys-
tems. Be sure to check with your NISSAN dealer
for precautionary measures or special instruc-
tions regarding installation. Upon request, your
NISSAN dealer will provide the detailed infor-
mation (frequency band, power, antenna posi-
tion, installation guide, etc.) regarding
installation.

How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was traveling.
Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a nontrivial 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 and NISSAN dealer, 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. EDR data
will only be accessed with the consent of the
vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise re-
