Event Data Recorder(U.S.A. and Canada)
▼ Event Data Recorder
This vehicle is equi
pped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, i n 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 i n 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-triv ial 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, cou ld combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routin ely 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 enforcem ent, 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:
A written agreement from the vehicle
owner or the lessee is obtained
Officially requested by the police or
other law enforcement authorities
Used as a defense for Mazda in a
lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
Use the data for research on Mazda
vehicle performance, including safety.
Disclose the data or the summarized
data to a third party for research
purposes without disclosing vehicle or
owner identificat ion information.
