Additional recorded data
In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped with a number of computers designed to continually check and monitor the func-
tion of the car. They can record data during normal driving conditions, but in particular register faults affecting the vehicle's op-
eration and functionality, or upon activation of the vehicle's active driver support function.
Some of the recorded data is required to enable service and maintenance technicians to diagnose and remedy any faults that
occurred in the vehicle. The registered information is also needed to enable Volvo to satisfy legal requirements laid out in laws
and by government authorities. Information registered in the vehicle is stored in its computer until the vehicle is serviced or
repaired.
In addition to the above, the registered information can be used in combined form for research and product development with
the aim of continuously improving the safety and quality of Volvo cars.
Volvo will not contribute to the above-described information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner's con-
sent. To comply with national legislation and regulations, Volvo may be forced to disclose information of this nature to the po-
lice or other authorities who may assert a legal right to access such information. Special technical equipment which Volvo and
workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo have access to is required to be able to read and interpret the recorded
data. Volvo is responsible for ensuring that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and maintenance, is
securely stored and managed and that its management complies with relevant legal requirements. For further information, con-
tact a Volvo dealer.
