Canadian market only:
This vehicle is equipped with an “Event DataRecorder” (EDR). The main purpose of the EDRis to register and record data in traffic accidentsor accident-like situations, e.g. if an airbagdeploys or if the vehicle hits an obstacle in theroad. This data is recorded in order to help under-stand how the vehicle's systems perform in thesetypes of situations. The EDR is designed torecord data related to vehicle dynamics andsafety systems for a short period of time, usually30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recorddata in traffic accidents or accident-like situationssuch as:
How the various systems in the vehicle per-formed;
Whether the driver and passenger seat beltswere tightened/buckled;
The driver's use of the accelerator/brakepedal;
How fast the vehicle was moving.
This data can help provide a better understandingof the circumstances in which traffic accidentsand injuries occur. The EDR records data only if anon-trivial accident situation occurs. EDR doesnot record any data during normal driving condi-tions. The system also never registers data onwho is driving the vehicle or the geographicallocation of the accident or near-accident. How-
ever, other parties, such as law enforcement,could combine the EDR data with the type of per-sonally identifiable information that is routinelyacquired during an accident investigation. Specialequipment and access to either the vehicle or theEDR is required to read this recorded data.
In addition to the EDR, the vehicle is equippedwith a number of computers that continuouslycontrol and monitor the vehicle's performance.These computers may record data during normaldriving conditions, particularly if they detect afault relating to the vehicle's operation and func-tionality or upon activation of the vehicle's activedriver support functions (e.g. City Safety or theauto-brake function).
Some of this recorded data is required by techni-cians performing service and maintenance inorder to diagnose and rectify any faults that mayhave occurred in the vehicle. The recorded infor-mation is also needed to enable Volvo to fulfilllegal and other regulatory requirements. Informa-tion registered in the vehicle is stored in its com-puters until the vehicle is serviced or repaired.
In addition to the above, the recorded informationmay be used in aggregated form for research andproduct development purposes in order to contin-uously improve the safety and quality of Volvovehicles.
Volvo will not provide this information to any thirdparties without the vehicle owner's consent. How-ever, national legislation and regulations may
require Volvo to disclose this type of informationto law enforcement or other authorities that canclaim a legal right to the information. Specialtechnical equipment, which Volvo and workshopsthat have entered agreements with Volvo haveaccess to, is required to read and interpret therecorded data. Volvo is responsible for ensuringthat information provided to Volvo in conjunctionwith service and maintenance is stored and han-dled securely and in compliance with applicablelegal requirements. For more information, pleasecontact a Volvo retailer.
