EVENT DATA RECORDER

s00ak04

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 obsta-

cle, data that will assist in understanding

how a vehicle’s systems performed. 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:

. How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;

. Whether or not the driver and pas-

senger 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.

These data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle

only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;

no data are recorded by the EDR under

normal driving conditions and no perso-

nal 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, other parties,

such as law enforcement, that have the

special equipment, can read the infor-

mation if they have access to the vehicle

or the EDR.
