The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a
near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the follow-
ing information:

l Position of the transmission shift lever
l Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not
l Driver's seat position
l Front passenger’s occupant classification
l SRS airbag deployment data

The VSC Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may contain another EDR. In
the event that the VSC or Brake Assist system is activated, or the lat-
eral acceleration is beyond a certain value, this device may record
some or all of the following information:
l Behavior of the vehicle
l Steering wheel angle
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects
of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining
optimal vehicle performance.
Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is an event
data recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or a near car
crash event.
