Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improv-
ing vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR
does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.
Disclosure of the data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party
except when:
●
An agreement from the vehicle's owner (or the leasing company for a
leased vehicle) is obtained
●
Officially requested by the police or other authorities
●
Used as a defense for Lexus in a law suit
● Ordered by a court law
However, if necessary Lexus will:
●
Use the data for research on Lexus vehicle safety performance
● Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without dis-
closing details of the vehicle owner, and only when it is deemed neces-
sary
●
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification information
to a non-Lexus organization for research purposes
