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 per-

formed. 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; and,

.

How fast the vehicle was traveling.

.

Sounds are not recorded.

These data can help provide a better under-

standing of the circumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle

only if a nontrivial 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 enforce-
