• 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
vehicle or the EDR. Active Roll Bars The active roll bars that equip the
vehicle have been designed for
protecting passengers in the event of
a vehicle rollover.
They are fitted behind the rear seat
headrests, usually in a hidden position,
and are activated by a specific ECU
which, only in the case of high-severity
rollover, deploys them in a few tenths
of a second. A cross member then
locks them in this position.
The roll bars have been designed in
such a way that they can be fully
deployed also with the soft top closed.
This is ensured by a device which
breaks the rear window when it comes
in contact with it.
In combination with the windshield
outer frame, they help creating an
anti-intrusion safety cell. In addition to being deployed in the
case of rollovers around the vehicle
longitudinal axis (as shown in the
figure) the active roll bars activate as a
precautionary measure in the event of
sufficiently severe side and rear
collisions, and in all cases where the
battery might be disconnected. They
do not activate in the event of
spinning.
WARNING!
• The active roll bars do not prevent
the risk of the occupants being
thrown out of the vehicle or hitting
against its internal structures. Only
the seat belts are designed for these
purposes and must always be
properly fastened when traveling.
