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
lWhe
ther the brake pedal was applied or not
lV
ehicle speed
lT
o what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
lPosition of the
transmission shift lever
l Whe
ther the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not
lDr
iver’s seat position
lSRS a
irbag deployment data
lSRS a
irbag system diagnostic data
lFron
t passenger’s occupant classification
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of
improving vehicle safety performan ce. 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 assi st in driving and maintaining
optimal vehicle performance.
Besides storing data useful for tr oubleshooting, there is an event
data recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or a near car
crash event.
