Event data recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or crash-like situations
such as an air bag deployment or collision with 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 data
such 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 con-
ditions and no personal data, e.g., name, gen-
der, 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 acquired
during a crash investigation.
Reading the data recorded by an EDR requires
special equipment and access to the vehicle or
the EDR. In addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties that have the special equip-
ment such as law enforcement, can read the
information if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
