Event Data
This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder. The main purpose of an event datarecorder is to record, in certain crash or nearcrash-like situations, such as an airbagdeployment or hitting a road obstacle; thisdata will assist in understanding how avehicle’s systems performed. The event datarecorder is designed to record data relatedto vehicle dynamics and safety systems fora short period of time, typically 30 secondsor less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehiclewere operating;
•Whether or not the driver and passengerseatbelts were buckled/fastened;
•How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/or thebrake pedal; and
•How fast the vehicle was traveling; and
•Where the driver was positioning thesteering wheel.
This data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances in whichcrashes and injuries occur.
Note:Event data recorder data is recordedby your vehicle only if a non-trivial crashsituation occurs; no data is recorded by theevent data recorder under normal drivingconditions and no personal data orinformation (e.g., name, gender, age, andcrash location) is recorded. However, parties,such as law enforcement, could combine theevent data recorder data with the type ofpersonally identifying data routinely acquiredduring a crash investigation.
