Event Data Recorder

The vehicle is equipped with a device that serves as
an accident data recorder (referred to solely as
"EDR" from this point). The main purpose of the EDR
is data recording during a traffic accident or other
exceptional traffic conditions (referred to solely as
"accident" from this point), where the restraint sys-
tems are activated.
The EDR records the accident in a short time (ap-
proximately 10 s), by showing the following informa-
tion, for example:
The function of certain systems in the vehicle.
The seat belt status of the driver and front passen-
ger.
The actuation of the brake and accelerator pedals.
The speed of the vehicle at the time of the acci-
dent.
The recorded data helps with the analysis of how the
vehicle systems were behaving shortly before, dur-
ing and shortly after the accident, thereby ensuring
better information regarding the circumstances un-
der which the accident occurred, which lead to ma-
terial damage and possibly to personal injury.
The data relating to assist systems in the vehicle is
then also recorded. In addition to the information on
whether the affected systems were switched on or
off at the relevant time, whether these were only
partially available or were inactive, there is also the
possibility of tracking whether these vehicle func-
tions controlled, accelerated or braked the vehicle
during the accident. Depending on the equipment,
these functions are, e.g:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
Lane Assist.
Park Assist.
Emergency brake function (Front Assist).
EDR data is only recorded if an accident causes the
restraint systems to be activated. Under normal driv-
ing conditions there is no data recording and there is
no audio or video recording of the vehicle interior or

the vehicle environment. Personal data such as name,
gender, age or place where the accident occurred is
also not stored in the EDR. However, third parties
such as law enforcement authorities may use certain
resources to connect EDR content to other data
sources, and therefore deduce the identification of
some of the people involved in the accident when in-
vestigating the causes of the accident.
Reading out the EDR requires special equipment
with specific access authorization and a legally pre-
scribed diagnostic connection in the vehicle "on-
board diagnostics"), and the ignition will need to be
switched on.
ŠKODA AUTO will not read or otherwise process any
accident data from the EDRwithout the approval of
the vehicle owner or other person authorised for use
of the vehicle. Exceptions are specified in the con-
tractual arrangements, or these are subject to gener-
ally binding regulations.
Due to legal requirements, ŠKODA AUTO is required
to monitor the quality and safety of its products,
meaning that it is only entitled to use data from the
EDR to monitor the product on the market, for fur-
ther research and development, and to improve the
quality of the vehicle's safety systems. For the pur-
pose of research and development, ŠKODA AUTO
will also make data available to third parties. This is
done exclusively in anonymous form, i.e. without any
connection to the specific vehicle, the vehicle owner
or any other authorised user.

Personal data

Personal customer data is collected, processed and
used by ŠKODA AUTO in accordance with the provi-
sions of the generally binding legal provisions.

al data can be found on the following website:
