Data recording
As part of Volvo's commitment to safety and
quality, certain information is recorded regarding
vehicle operation, functionality and incidents.
US market only:
EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding 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
operating;
•
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.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are
recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal 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 type of personally 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, 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.
ASDR
This vehicle is equipped with an Active Safety
Data Recorder (ASDR). This data recorder can
record information related to the usage of the
car, functional errors and active safety actuations
(e.g. auto brake). The information saved is used
by technicians for service and maintenance to
diagnose and repair possible faults that has
occurred in the vehicle and to fulfil certain legal
requirements. The registered data can also, in
congregated form, be used for research- and
product development –purposes to continuously
improve the safety and quality of Volvo Cars. For
more information contact your local Volvo retailer.
