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
oper
atin
g;
Whether
or
not
the
driver
and
passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;How
far
(if
at all)
the
driver
was
depress-
ing
the
accelerator
and/or
brake
pedal;
and,How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These
data
can
help
provide
a better
under
-
standing
of
the
circumstances
in
which
crashes
and
injuries
occur
.
To read
data
recorded
by
an
EDR,
special
equipment
is required,
and
access
to the
vehi-
cle
or
the
EDR
is needed.
In
addition
to
the
vehicle
manufacture
r, other
parties,
such
as
law
enforcement,
that
have
the
special
equip-
ment,
can
read
the
information
if they
have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
