Event Data Recorders

This vehicle has 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

• How fast the vehicle was traveling

This data can help provide a better understanding

of the circumstances in which crashes and

injuries occur.

Important: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle

only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no

data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving

conditions and no personal data (e.g., name,

gender, age, and crash location) is 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.

Saturn will not access this data or share it with

others except: with the consent of the vehicle

owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent

of the lessee; in response to an official request

of police or similar government office; as part

of Saturn’s defense of litigation through the

discovery process; or, as required by law.

Data that Saturn collects or receives may

also be used for Saturn research needs or

may be made available to others for research

purposes, where a need is shown and the data

is not tied to a speciﬁc vehicle or vehicle owner.
