23CT200h_OM_OM76066U_(U)Event data recorderThis vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of anEDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bagdeployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how avehicle's systems performed. The EDR is desi gned to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a short peri od 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 passenge r 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 whichcrashes and injuries occur.NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situationoccurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and nopersonal 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 typeof personally identifying data routinel y acquired during a crash investigation.To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to thevehicle 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 informationif they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
