10-2Technical information

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.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•Sounds are not recorded.
This data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your ve-
hicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal 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 EDRdata with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer and INFINITI retailer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can read the in-
formation if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR. EDR data will only be accessed with
the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or
as otherwise required or permitted by law.Genuine INFINITI Service Manuals for this
model year and prior can be purchased. A
Genuine INFINITI Service Manual is the best
source of service and repair information for
your vehicle. This manual is the same one
used by the factory trained technicians work-
ing at INFINITI retailers. Genuine INFINITI
Owner’s Manuals can also be purchased.
