This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re-
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing 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 oper-
ating;
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.
Sounds are not recorded.
These data can help provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only
if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data
(for example, name, gender, age and crash
location) are recorded. However, other par-
ties, such as law enforcement, could com-
bine the EDR data with the type of person-
ally 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 and NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer, 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. EDR data will only be accessed with
the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee
or as otherwise required or permitted by
law.
