Event Data Recorder(EDR)
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
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-trivial 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, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely 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 enforcement, 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 identification information.

A computer that recordsvehicle data
A computer is equipped that records
data related to the vehicle control,
operation, and the driving
environment.
This computer records information
such as the following.
Vehicle conditions such as engine
speed and vehicle speed
Driving operation conditions such as
accelerator and brake pedals, and
information related to the
environmental circumstances while
driving the vehicle
Malfunction diagnosis information
from on-vehicle computer
Information related to controls of
other on-vehicle computers
The recorded information differs
depending on the vehicle grade and
the equipment.
Personal information (name, sex, age,
and collision location) is not recorded.
Data handling
Mazda and its contractors may obtain
and use data recorded in EDRs and
computers that record vehicle data for
the purpose of vehicle malfunction
diagnosis, research and development,
and quality improvement.
Mazda will not disclose or provide any
of the obtained data to a third party
unless:
An agreement from the vehicle
owner (agreements from lessor and
lessee for leased vehicle) is obtained
Officially requested by the police or
other law enforcement authorities
For statistical processing by a
research institution after processing
the data so that identification of the
owner or the vehicle is impossible
