Edr Event Data Recorder (Event Data Recorder) - Opel MOVANO Owner's Manual

140) Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
141) The front airbag deployment
threshold is higher than that of the
pretensioners. For impacts whose intensity
falls between the two levels, normally, only
the pretensioners will be activated.
142) Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
143) The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low-speed frontal impacts,
side impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat
belts which must therefore be fastened at
all times.
144) In some versions, in case of LED
failure OFF (located on the plate of
the instrument panel), the light on the
console turns on and the passenger
side airbags are deactivated. On some
versions, in case of failure of the
LED (located on the dashboard), warning
light appears on the instrument panel.
EDR Event Data
Recorder (Event
data recorder)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event
Data Recorder (EDR). The main
function of an EDR is to record,
in particular crash or near-crash
situations, such as the deployment of
an airbag or impact against a road
obstacle, data useful for understanding
the performance of vehicle systems.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to the dynamics and safety
systems of the vehicle for a short time.
The EDR of this vehicle is designed to
record the following types of data at
the time of the event:
the operating modes of various
systems in the vehicle;
whether or not the driver and
ON
passenger safety belts were buckled;
the amount of pressure applied (if
any) by the driver on the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and
the speed at which the vehicle is
travelling.
This information provides a more
complete picture of the circumstances
in which collisions and injuries occur.
If all available EDR positions are
occupied by locked events (i.e. cannot
be overwritten by subsequent events),
the airbag warning light comes on in
the instrument panel. Other conditions
may cause the airbag warning light to
come on. For more information, see
"Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" in this section.
NOTE: Data from the EDR is
only recorded by the vehicle if a
non-negligible collision situation
occurs; under normal driving
conditions, the EDR does not
record any data or personal
information (e.g. name, gender,
age and location of the accident).
To read data recorded by an
EDR, a "Crash Data Retrieval
(CDR)" device made by Bosch is
required and access to the vehicle
or the EDR. If the contents of
the EDR cannot be reproduced
using the OBD connection port of
the vehicle, the Bosch CDR tool
can be connected directly to the
control unit of the ORC occupant
protection systems (ORC).
In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
the information can be read by other
parties, such as the police, who are
equipped with the required special
equipment and have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.
