DATA RECORDING
SERVICE DATA RECORDING
Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This
potentially includes information about the
performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle such as engine,
throttle, steering or brakes. In order to
properly diagnose and service your vehicle,
Karma Automotive and its authorized
service facilities may access vehicle
diagnostic information through a direct
connection to your vehicle.
EVENT DATA RECORDING
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 data (as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle),
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.
