Technical and consumer information

EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.

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 and NISSAN dealer, 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. EDR data will
only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle
owner or lessee or as otherwise required or
permitted by law.

The Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) is
different from the Event Data Recorder de-
scribed in “Event Data Recorder” in this section.
The VSDR is not a crash-activated device, but it
records and accumulates vehicle data while
driving.

Examples are:
. Vehicle operating information such as the

wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels

. Engine control information such as the

engine speed and boost pressure

The VSDR always records and stores vehicle
operating data between periodic inspections,
which can assist and be used for servicing,
diagnosing and performing warranty repairs.

The VSDR does not record sounds, conversa-
tions or images.

To read data recorded by the VSDR, special
equipment is required and access to the vehicle
or the VSDR is needed.
