cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle

data to be transmitted from the vehicle.

Event Data Recorder EDR

This vehicle is equipped with an event data re‐

corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to

record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa‐

tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting

a road obstacle, data that will assist in under‐

standing 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 passenger

safety belts were fastened.

▷ How far, if at all, the driver was depressing

the accelerator and/or brake pedal.

▷ How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better under‐

standing of the circumstances in which

crashes and injuries occur.

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 enforce‐

ment, could combine the EDR data with the

type of personally identifying data routinely ac‐

quired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special

equipment is required, and access to the vehi‐

cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the ve‐

hicle manufacturer, 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.
