Event Data Recording
N00418600230
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 airbag deployment or hit-
ting 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 dynam-
ics 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 accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,
● How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
OTE
● EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial 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 enforce-
ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally 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.
