Safety
Event Data Recorder
D
e
s
cription and operation
Your vehicle has an event data recorder
(EDR).
The EDR’s fu
nction is to record data in the
event of a mild or serious accident. These da-
ta are used to support the analysis of how
different vehicle systems behaved.
The EDR records, over a reduced time range
(normally 10 seconds or less), dynamic driv-
ing data and data from the restraint systems,
such as:
●
How different vehicle systems worked.
●
Whether the driver and the occupants were
wearin
g their seatbelts.
●
How hard the acceleration or brake pedal
was pressed.
●
Vehicle speed.
These data will provide a better understand-
ing of the circumstances of the accident.
Data from the driving assist systems are also
recorded. This includes data such as whether
the systems were inactive or active and if
such action had an impact on the vehicle’s
dynamic behaviour, changing its path in the
aforementioned situations, accelerating or
decelerating the vehicle.
Depending on vehicle equipment, this in-
cludes data from systems such as:
●
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
●
Emergency brake assist system (Front As-
sist).
●
Park Pilot system
The EDR data are only recorded in specific ac-
cident situations. No data are recorded in
normal driving conditions.
No audio or video data inside or around the
vehicle are recorded. Under no circumstances
are personal data such as name, age, or gen-
der recorded. Nevertheless, third parties
(such as criminal proceedings authorities)
may relate the contents of the EDR data to
other data sources and create a personal ref-
erence in the context of an accident investi-
gation.
In order to read the EDR data it is necessary
to access (if legally permitted to do so) the
vehicle's ODB (“On-Board-Diagnose”) inter-
face while the vehicle is switched on.
SEAT will not have access to EDR data unless
the owner (or, in “Leasing” cases, the lessee
or hirer) gives their consent. There may be ex-
ceptions to this, depending on legal or con-
tractual provisions.
Due to legal requirements in safety-related
products, SEAT may use the EDR data for field
research and in order to improve vehicle sys-
tem quality. Any data used for the purposes
of research will be treated anonymously (in
other words, no reference will be made to the
vehicle, their owner or the lessee/hirer).
