DISCLOSURES
Event Data Recorders
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
      
 
 
 
  
 
  
   
 
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of
an

EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR 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 brake
pedal; and,
•  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 situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, 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, special equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition 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.
 
   
  
  
 
    
 
  
   
 
 
 
   
 
 
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.

This

vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions law
requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, butit remains condential.
