Introduction
Introduction
Vehicle data collection and
event data recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record data to help
understand vehicle performance in a
crash or near crash (such as airbag
deployment, hitting an obstacle, etc.).
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typi-
cally 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
僅 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
僅 Whether or not the driver and passen-
ger safety belts were buckled/fas-
tened;
僅 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
僅 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data 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 non-trivial crash situa-
tion occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name, gen-
der, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, spe-
cial equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addi-
tion 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.
