Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Event Data Recorder
Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)
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:
 


y How various systems in your vehicle were operating;



y Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;



y How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,



y 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 or near crash-like 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.

Mazda will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
 


y A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is obtained



y Of¿ cially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities



y Used as a defense for Mazda in a law suit, claim, or arbitration



y Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will: 



y Use the data for research on Mazda vehicle performance, including safety.



y Disclose the data or the summarized data to a third party for research purposes without
disclosing vehicle or owner identi¿ cation information.

Recording of Vehicle Data
Recording of Vehicle Data
This vehicle is equipped with a computer which records the following main vehicle data
related to vehicle controls, operation, and other driving conditions.

Recorded data
 




y Vehicle conditions such as engine speed and vehicle speed



y Driving operation conditions such as accelerator and brake pedals, and information related
to the environmental circumstances while the vehicle is driven
 


y Malfunction diagnosis information from each on-vehicle computer



y Information related to controls of other on-vehicle computers
N O T E
The recorded data may vary depending on the vehicle grade and optional equipment. Voice
and images are not recorded.


Data handling
Mazda and its subcontracting parties may obtain and use the recorded data for vehicle
malfunction diagnosis, research and development, and quality improvement.
Mazda will not disclose or provide any of the obtained data to a third party unless:
 


y An agreement from the vehicle owner (agreements from lessor and lessee for leased
vehicle) is obtained
 


y Of¿ cially requested by the police or other law enforcement authorities



y For statistical processing by a research institution after processing the data so that
identi¿ cation of the owner or the vehicle is impossible
