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
have 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 are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the
