Your GM vehicle has a number of sophisticatedcomputers that record information about the vehicle’sperformance and how it is driven. For example, yourvehicle uses computer modules to monitor and controlengine and transmission performance, to monitor theconditions for airbag deployment and deploy airbags ina crash and, if so equipped, to provide antilock brakingto help the driver control the vehicle. These modulesmay store data to help your dealer/retailer technicianservice your vehicle. Some modules may also storedata about how you operate the vehicle, such as rate offuel consumption or average speed. These modulesmay also retain the owner’s personal preferences,such as radio pre-sets, seat positions, andtemperature settings.
