EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds ofspecific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to the
moment of airbag deployment, or ne ar deployment (if applicable), and up to a quarter
second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during and/or
after airbag deployment or ne ar-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if an airbag
deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.
NOTE:
• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle
deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag
deployment.
•
Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery power).
• In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more about the
possible causes of crashes and associa ted injuries in order to assess and improve
vehicle performance. In addition to crash i nvestigations initiated by Chrysler Group
LLC, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance carriers,
government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those associated
with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
• In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regardless of initiative), the company or its de signated representative will first obtain permission of
the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle owner or lessee)
before accessing the electronic data stored, unless ordered to image the data by a
court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy of the data will be
provided to the custodial entity upon request. General data that does not identify
particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash
databases, such as those maintained by the U.S. government and various states. Data
of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver, vehicle, or
crash, will be treated confidentially. Confidential data will not be disclosed by Chrysler
Group LLC to any third party except when:
• Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record in an aggregate database, provided c onfidentiality of personal data is thereafter
preserved.
• Used in defense of litigation involvin g a Chrysler Group LLC product.
• Requested by police under a legal warrant.
• Otherwise required by law.
Data parameters that are recorded:
• Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light st atus for electronically-controlled safety
systems, including the airbag system
• Vehicle speed
• Engine RPM
• Brake switch status
• Pedal position
• And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration
