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 brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Mazda
North American Operations, Mazda Canada, and service and repair
facilities may access vehicle diagnostic information through a direct
connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing your vehicle.
Event Data Recording
Other modules in your vehicle — event data recorders — are capable of
collecting and storing data during a crash or near crash event. The
recorded information may assist in the investigation of such an event.
The modules may record information about both the vehicle and the
occupants, potentially including information such as:
•
how various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•
whether or not the driver and passenger seatbelts were buckled;
•
how far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or the
brake pedal;
•
how fast the vehicle was traveling; and
•
where the driver was positioning the steering wheel.
To access this information, special equipment must be directly connected
to the recording modules. Mazda North American Operations and Mazda
Canada do not access event data recorder information without obtaining
