YOUR VOLVO
38
In addition to the EDR, the car is equipped
with a number of computers designed to con-
tinually check and monitor the function of the
car. They can record data during normal driv-
ing conditions, but in particular register faults
affecting the vehicle's operation and function-
ality, or upon activation of the vehicle's driver
support function (e.g. City Safety and the auto
brake function).
Some of the recorded data is required to ena-
ble 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 govern-
ment authorities. Information registered in the
vehicle is stored in its computer until the vehi-
cle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the registered infor-
mation can be used in aggregate 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-descri-
bed information being disclosed to third par-
ties without the vehicle owner's consent. To
comply with national legislation and regula-
tions, Volvo may be forced to disclose infor-
mation of this nature to the police or other
authorities who may assert a legal right to
access such. 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 that the
information, which is transferred to Volvo dur-
ing servicing and maintenance, is securely
stored and managed and that its management
complies with relevant legal requirements. For
further information - contact a Volvo retailer.
