Default S70 black box?

Having just been involved in an accident, does my 2000 S70 have a 'black box' that can give crash info? My 2007 S40's owner's manual mentions one (VED) but I can't find reference to anything similar in my 2000.

Default S70 black box

No--the air bag did not deploy in the accident. Fortunately, that didn't make a difference.

even in cars that DO have the black box, it usually won't save crash information unless the airbags go off. its part of the SRS system
