NISSAN 2015 Xterra - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 387)

This vehicle is equipped with an EDR. The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain colli-
sion or near collision-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’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; and,
● How fast the vehicle was traveling.
● Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which collisions and
injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a nontrivial collision situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age and collision location)
are recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR data
with the type of personally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a collision investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu-
facturer and NISSAN dealer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special equip-
ment, can read the information if they have ac-
cess 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 per-
mitted by law.
