Vehicle Data

Recording and

Privacy

Your GM vehicle has a number of

sophisticated computers that

record information about the

vehicle’s performance and how it is

driven. For example, your vehicle

uses computer modules to monitor

and control engine and transmission

performance, to monitor the

conditions for airbag deployment

and deploy airbags in a crash and,

if so equipped, to provide antilock

braking to help the driver control the

vehicle. These modules may

store data to help your dealer/

retailer technician service your

vehicle. Some modules may also

store data about how you operate

the vehicle, such as rate of fuel

consumption or average speed.

These modules may also retain the

owner’s personal preferences,

such as radio pre-sets, seat

positions, and temperature settings.

Event Data Recorders

This vehicle has 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 airbag 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

pressing the accelerator and/or

brake pedal

• How fast the vehicle was

traveling

This data can help provide a better

understanding of the circumstances

in which crashes and injuries occur.

Important: EDR data is recorded

by your vehicle only if a non-trivial

crash situation occurs; no data

is recorded by the EDR under

normal driving conditions and no

personal data (e.g., name, gender,

age, and crash location) is

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, 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.
