Peugeot 308: Event Data Recording system

(Depending on country of sale)

This vehicle is fitted with an accident data recording system, also called Event Data Recorder (EDR).

This system gathers and records certain vehicle data over a short period (a few seconds) before, during and after an event such as an accident or collision.

In order to gain a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the event, this system records how the vehicle's various systems are operating at the time of the event, including:

• Any deployment of a restraint system (e.g. airbag, seat belt).
• The status of the seat belts of all the occupants (fastened/unfastened).
• The contact or intensity of pressure exerted on the pedal(s) engaged by the driver.
• The speed of the vehicle.
• The status of some driving and manoeuvring aids systems.

The following are not recorded by the system:

• Data on normal driving conditions, in other words data not directly related to the event.
• Personal data on the driver and any other occupants.
• The geographical location of the vehicle at the time of the event.

The reading of data recorded by the system requires the following:

• Access to the interior of the vehicle or to the system.

And

• Special equipment that can be purchased from the manufacturer BOSCH (www.BoschCDRTool.com).

Aside from the vehicle Manufacturer, other parties such as law enforcement agencies may access this data in order to analyse the event.
