Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record information
about the vehicle’s performance and
how it is driven or used. For example,
the vehicle uses computer modules to
monitor and control engine and
transmission performance, to monitor
the conditions for airbag deployment
and deploy them in a crash, and,
if equipped, to provide antilock
braking to help the driver control the
vehicle. These modules may store data
to help the dealer technician service
the vehicle or to help GM improve
safety or features. Some modules may
also store data about how the vehicle
is operated, such as rate of fuel
consumption or average speed. These
modules may retain personal
preferences, such as radio presets, seat
positions, and temperature settings.
Cybersecurity
GM collects information about the use
of your vehicle including operational
and safety related information. We
collect this information to provide,
evaluate, improve, and troubleshoot
our products and services and to
develop new products and services.
The protection of vehicle electronics
systems and customer data from
unauthorized outside electronic access
or control is important to GM. GM
maintains appropriate security
standards, practices, guidelines and
controls aimed at defending the
vehicle and the vehicle service
ecosystem against unauthorized
electronic access, detecting possible
malicious activity in related networks,
and responding to suspected
cybersecurity incidents in a timely,
coordinated and effective manner.
Security incidents could impact your
safety or compromise your private
data. To minimize security risks,
please do not connect your vehicle
electronic systems to unauthorized
devices or connect your vehicle to any
unknown or untrusted networks (such
as Bluetooth, WIFI or similartechnology). In the event you suspect
any security incident impacting your
data or the safe operation of your
vehicle, please stop operating your
vehicle and contact your dealer.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with 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 air bag
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
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,

Automatic Crash Response,
Emergency Services, Crisis Assist,
Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Remote
Services, and Roadside Service are
available on most vehicles. Not all
OnStar services are available
everywhere or on all vehicles. For more information, a full description of
OnStar services, system limitations,

OnStar or connected services cannot
work unless the vehicle is in a place
where OnStar has an agreement with
a wireless service provider for service
in that area. The wireless service
provider must also have coverage,
network capacity, reception, and
technology compatible with OnStar or
connected services. Service involving
location information about the vehicle
cannot work unless GPS signals are
available, unobstructed, and
compatible with the OnStar hardware.
OnStar or connected services may not
work if the OnStar equipment is not
properly installed or it has not been
properly maintained. If equipment or
software is added, connected,
or modified, OnStar or connected services may not work. Other
problems beyond the control of
OnStar
—such as hills, tall buildings,
tunnels, weather, electrical system
design and architecture of the vehicle,
damage to the vehicle in a crash,
or wireless phone network congestion
or jamming —may prevent service.

Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a vehicle
electrical system, wireless service, and
GPS satellite technologies to be
available and operating for features to
function properly. These systems may
not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.
Add-on Electrical Equipment
The OnStar system is integrated into
the electrical architecture of the
vehicle. Do not add any electrical
equipment. SeeAdd-On Electrical
Equipment 0290. Added electrical
equipment may interfere with the
operation of the OnStar system and
cause it to not operate.
Vehicle Software Updates
OnStar or GM may remotely deliver
software updates or changes to the
vehicle without further notice or
consent. These updates or changes
may enhance or maintain safety,
security, or the operation of the
vehicle or the vehicle systems.
Software updates or changes may
affect or erase data or settings that
are stored in the vehicle, such as saved navigation destinations or
pre-set radio stations. Neither OnStar
nor GM is responsible for any affected
or erased data or settings. These
updates or changes may also collect
personal information. Such collection
is described in the OnStar privacy
statement or separately disclosed at
the time of installation. These updates
or changes may also cause a system to
automatically communicate with GM
servers to collect information about
vehicle system status, identify
whether updates or changes are
available, or deliver updates or
changes. An active OnStar agreement
constitutes consent to these software
updates or changes and agreement
that either OnStar or GM may
remotely deliver them to the vehicle.Privacy
The complete OnStar Privacy
Statement may be found at
www.onstar.com (U.S.),
or www.onstar.ca (Canada). We
