Event Data Recorders
USAonly:
This vehicle is equipped withanevent data
recorder (EDR).The mainpurpose of an EDRisto
record, in certaincrash or nearcrash-likesitua‐
tions,suchasanair bag deploymentorhittinga
road obstacle, data that will assistinunderstand‐
ing howavehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to recorddatarelated to vehicle
dynamics and safetysystems forashortperiod
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to recordsuch
data as:
R
Howvarious systems in your vehicle were
operating;
R
Whether or notthe driver and passenger
safetybeltswerebuckled/fastened;
R
Howfar (if at all) thedriverwas depressing
theacceleratorand/or brakepedal; and,
R
Howfastthe vehicle wastraveling.
This datacan help provide abetterunderstanding
of thecircumstances in which crashes and inju‐
ries occur.NOTE: EDRdataare recorded by your
vehicle only if anon-trivial crash situation occurs;
no dataare recorded by theEDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data(e.g.
name, gender, ageand crash location) arerecor‐
ded. However, other parties suchaslaw enforce‐
ment could combine theEDR datawiththe type
of personally identifying dataroutinelyacquired
during acrash investigation.
Access to thevehicle and/or theEDR is needed
to read data that is recorded by an EDR, and spe‐
cial equipmentisrequired. In addition to thevehi‐
cle manufacturer,other parties that have thespe‐
cial equipment, suchaslaw enforcement, can
read theinformation by accessingthe vehicle or
theEDR.
EDRdatamay be used in civil and criminal mat‐
ters as atool in accident reconstruction, accident
claims and vehicle safety. Since theCrash Data
RetrievalCDR tool that is used to extract data
from theEDR is commercially available, Daimler
