Event Data Recorder
(U.S.A. and Canada)
▼ Event Data Recorder
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.
