Event data recorder (for Korea)
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 hitting 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
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
However, data may not be recorded depending on the severity and type of a crash.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various safety systems in your vehicle (e.g., the airbags, seat belts and ABS)
were operating;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
The EDR 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 nontrivial 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,
personal data acquired during a defect investigation could be used to manage crash
records. A person provided by the Minister of Land Infrastructure and Transport
could extract and analyze EDR data for official purpose.
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.
