DATA RECORDING

Service Data Recording

Service data recorders in your vehicle arecapable of collecting and storingdiagnostic information about your vehicle.This potentially includes information aboutthe performance or status of varioussystems and modules in the vehicle, suchas engine, throttle, steering or brakesystems. In order to properly diagnose andservice your vehicle, Ford Motor Company,Ford of Canada, and service and repairfacilities may access or share among them

vehicle diagnostic information receivedthrough a direct connection to your vehiclewhen diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.Additionally, when your vehicle is in forservice or repair, Ford Motor Company,Ford of Canada, and service and repairfacilities may access or share among themdata for vehicle improvement purposes.For U.S. only (if equipped), if you chooseto use the SYNC Vehicle Health Report,you consent that certain diagnostic

information may also be accessedelectronically by Ford Motor Company andFord authorized service facilities, and thatthe diagnostic information may be usedfor any purpose. See SYNC™ (page 323).

Event Data Recording

This vehicle is equipped with an eventdata recorder. The main purpose of anevent data recorder is to record, incertain crash or near crash-like

situations, such as an airbagdeployment or hitting a road obstacle;this data will assist in understandinghow a vehicle’s systems performed.The event data recorder is designed torecord data related to vehicle dynamicsand safety systems for a short periodof time, typically 30 seconds or less.

Introduction

http://-/?-http://-/?-http://-/?-http://-/?-http://-/?-


13/23

The event data recorder in this vehicleis designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle

were operating;• Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts werebuckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/orthe brake pedal; and

• How fast the vehicle was traveling;and

• Where the driver was positioning

the steering wheel.This data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances inwhich crashes and injuries occur.

Note: Event data recorder data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the event data recorder under normal driving conditions and no

personal data or information (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is

recorded (see limitations regarding 911 Assist and Traffic, directions and Information privacy below). However,

parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the event data recorder datawith the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash

investigation.

To read data recorded by an event datarecorder, special equipment is required,and access to the vehicle or the eventdata recorder is needed. In addition tothe vehicle manufacturer, otherparties, such as law enforcement, thathave such special equipment, can readthe information if they have access tothe vehicle or the event data recorder.Ford Motor Company and Ford ofCanada do not access event datarecorder information without obtainingconsent, unless pursuant to court order

or where required by law enforcement,other government authorities or otherthird parties acting with lawfulauthority. Other parties may seek to

access the information independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford ofCanada.

Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event Data Recorders

applies to SYNC or its features, please note the following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON), 911 Assist

may, through any paired and connected cell phone, disclose to emergency

services that the vehicle has been in acrash involving the deployment of an

airbag or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off.Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist

may also be capable of being used toelectronically or verbally provide to 911operators the vehicle location (such aslatitude and longitude), and/or other details about the vehicle or crash or

personal information about theoccupants to assist 911 operators to

provide the most appropriate emergency services. If you do not want to disclosethis information, do not activate the 911

Assist feature. See SYNC ™ (page 323).

Additionally, when you connect toTraffic, Directions and Information (ifequipped, U.S. only), the service usesGPS technology and advanced vehiclesensors to collect the vehicle’s currentlocation, travel direction, and speed(“ vehicle travel information”), only tohelp provide you with the directions,traffic reports, or business searchesthat you request. If you do not wantFord or its vendors to receive thisinformation, do not activate theservice. For more information, seeTraffic, Directions and Information,Terms and Conditions. See SYNC™(page 323).
