Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle
are capable of collecting and storing
diagnostic information about your
vehicle. This potentially includes
information about the performance
or status of various systems and
modules in the vehicle, such as engine,
throttle, steering or brake systems. In
order to properly diagnose and service
your vehicle, Ford Motor Company,
Ford of Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among
them vehicle diagnostic information
received through a direct connection
to your vehicle when diagnosing or
servicing your vehicle. Additionally,
when your vehicle is in for service or
repair, Ford Motor Company, Ford of
Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access or share among
them data for vehicle improvement
purposes. For U.S. only (if equipped),
if you choose to use the SYNC Vehicle
Health Report, you consent that
certain diagnostic information may
also be accessed electronically by
Ford Motor Company and Ford
authorized service facilities, and that
the diagnostic information may be
used for any purpose. See MyLincoln
Touch
™ (page 337).

Introduction E139213

Event Data Recording
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder. The main
purpose of an event data recorder
is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle; this data will assist
in understanding how a vehicle
’s
systems performed. The event
data recorder is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this
vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
• How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator
and/or the brake pedal; and
• How fast the vehicle was
travelling; and
• Where the driver was
positioning the steering wheel.
This data can help provide a better
understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur. Note:
Event data recorder data is
recorded by your vehicle only if a
non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data is recorded by the event data
recorder under normal driving
conditions and no personal data or
information (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) is recorded (see
limitations regarding 911 Assist and
Traffic, directions and Information
privacy below). However, parties,
such as law enforcement, could
combine the event data recorder
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an event
data recorder, special equipment
is required, and access to the
vehicle or the event data recorder
is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other
parties, such as law enforcement,
that have such special equipment,
can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the
event data recorder. Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada do
not access event data recorder
information without obtaining
consent, unless pursuant to court
order or where required by law
enforcement, other government
authorities or other third parties
acting with lawful authority. Other
parties may seek to access the
information independently of Ford
Motor Company and Ford of
Canada.

The steering column positions are
saved when doing a memory set
function and can be recalled with the
memory feature. Refer to the Seats
chapter.
