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,
