Nissan Altima (L34) 2019-2024 Owners Manual: Event Data Recorders (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.
• Sounds are not recorded.

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 nontrivial 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 and NISSAN dealer, 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.

EDR data will only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Additional data recording (on vehicles equipped with optional ProPILOT Assist)

If your vehicle is equipped with the optional ProPILOT Assist, it will also be equipped with a supplemental vehicle data recording function.

The data recording function is designed to record such data as:

• Driver operational status of accelerator, brakes, steering, etc.
• Detection status of a vehicle ahead and lane markers
• Vehicle information including distance to vehicle ahead and lateral position
• Information on the operation of the Pro- PILOT Assist and other crash avoidance features
• ProPILOT Assist malfunction diagnosis information
• External images from multi-sensing front camera (Available only when SRS air bag or AEB with Pedestrian Detection system is activated)

ProPILOT Assist does not record conversations, sounds or images of the inside of the vehicle.

To read this vehicle data, special equipment is required and access to the vehicle or the recording unit is needed. This vehicle data will only be accessed with the consent of the vehicle owner or lessee or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

If downloaded, NISSAN may use the data recorded for the purpose of improving NISSAN's vehicle safety performance.

NISSAN will not disclose/provide the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee
• In response to an official request from law enforcement, a court order, governmental agency, or other legally enforceable requests
• For use as part of NISSAN's defense of litigation
• For research purposes after the data is modified such that it is no longer tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
