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 near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a

road obstacle, 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 passenger safety belts were buckled/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 understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and

injuries occur.
NOTE:

EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is

recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender,

age, and crash location) is 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 information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
