5-1. Essential information
Event data recorder
In a crash or a near car crash event
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 Engine
speed
l Whe
ther the brake pedal was applied or not
l V
ehicle speed
l T
o what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
l Position of the
transmission shift lever
l Whe
ther the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not
l Dr
iver’s seat position
l SRS a
irbag deployment data
l SRS a
irbag system diagnostic data
l Fron
t passenger’s occupant classification
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of
improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders,
the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between
passengers.
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.
