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 passen-

ger

safety

belts

were

buckled/fas-

tened;

.

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

understanding

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 enforcement, could

combine the EDR data with the type of

personally identifying data routinely ac-

quired 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

and

NISSAN

dealer, other parties, such as law enforce-

ment, that have the special equipment, can

read the information 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.
