After a collision BEFORE STARTING OR DRIVING
If the vehicle is involved in a collision it
should be checked by a Dealer/Authorized
Repairer, or suitably qualified personnel,
before starting or driving.
SERVICE DATA RECORDING
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or
status of various systems and modules in the
vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or
brakes.
In order to properly diagnose and service your
vehicle, Jaguar Cars Limited and service and
repair facilities may access vehicle diagnostic
information through a direct connection to
your vehicle.
EVENT DATA RECORDING
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
situation, 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
seat belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was pressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,.
• How fast the vehicle was travelling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Note: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial 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
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.
