34Canadian market only: This vehicle is equipped with an “Event Data Recorder” (EDR). The main purpose of theEDR is to register and record data in trafficaccidents or accident-like situations, e.g. if anairbag deploys or if the vehicle hits an obstaclein the road. This data is recorded in order tohelp understand how the vehicle's systemsperform in these types of situations. The EDRis designed to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, usually 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record data in traffic accidents or accident-like situa-tions such as:
How the various systems in the vehicleperformed;
Whether the driver and passenger seatbelts were tightened/buckled;
The driver's use of the accelerator/brakepedal;
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better under-standing of the circumstances in which trafficaccidents and injuries occur. The EDR records data only if a non-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR does not record any data duringnormal driving conditions. The system alsonever registers data on who is driving the vehi-cle or the geographical location of the acci- dent or near-accident. However, other parties,such as law enforcement, could combine theEDR data with the type of personally identifia-ble information that is routinely acquired dur-ing an accident investigation. Special equip-ment and access to either the vehicle or theEDR is required to read this recorded data. In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equipped with a number of computers that continuouslycontrol and monitor the vehicle's performance.These computers may record data during nor-mal driving conditions, particularly if theydetect a fault relating to the vehicle's opera-tion and functionality or upon activation of thevehicle's active driver support functions (e.g.City Safety or the auto-brake function). Some of this recorded data is required by technicians performing service and mainte-nance in order to diagnose and rectify anyfaults that may have occurred in the vehicle.The recorded information is also needed toenable Volvo to fulfill legal and other regula-tory requirements. Information registered inthe vehicle is stored in its computers until thevehicle is serviced or repaired. In addition to the above, the recorded informa- tion may be used in aggregated form forresearch and product development purposesin order to continuously improve the safetyand quality of Volvo vehicles.
Volvo will not provide this information to anythird parties without the vehicle owner's con-sent. However, national legislation and regula-tions may require Volvo to disclose this type ofinformation to law enforcement or otherauthorities that can claim a legal right to theinformation. Special technical equipment,which Volvo and workshops that have enteredagreements with Volvo have access to, isrequired to read and interpret the recordeddata. Volvo is responsible for ensuring thatinformation provided to Volvo in conjunctionwith service and maintenance is stored andhandled securely and in compliance withapplicable legal requirements. For more infor-mation, please contact a Volvo retailer.

Volvo Structural Parts Statement
Volvo is one of the leading companies for car safety.
Volvo engineers and manufactures vehicles designed to help protect vehicle occupants inthe event of a collision. Volvos are designed to absorb the impact of a collision. This energy absorption systemincluding, but not limited to, structural compo-nents such as bumper reinforcement bars,bumper energy absorbers, frames, rails, fenderaprons, A-pillars, B-pillars and body panelsmust work together to maintain cabin integrityand protect the vehicle occupants. The supplemental restraint system including but not limited to air bags, side curtain airbags, and deployment sensors work togetherwith the above components to provide propertiming for air bag deployment. Due to the above, Volvo Car USA does not support the use of aftermarket, alternative oranything other than original Volvo parts forcollision repair. Volvo Car USA also recommends using Volvo- approved replacement glass. The use of after-market glass, particularly a windshield, canhave an adverse effect on collision avoidanceand advanced lighting systems.

The quality of these used parts may alsohave been affected due to environmentalexposure.

The vehicle is equipped with a number of sen- sors that may react in the event of an accidentand activate different safety systems, such asthe airbag system and seat belt tensioners.Depending on the specific conditions of theaccident, e.g. collisions at certain angles, over-turning or swerving, the systems react differ-ently to help provide good protection. There are also mechanical safety systems such as the Whiplash Protection System. Thevehicle is also built so that a large part of theforce of a collision is distributed to the vehi-cle's members, pillars, floor, roof and otherparts of the body. After an accident, the vehicle's safety mode may be activated if any important function inthe vehicle has been damaged.
