If such insurance coverage is
not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer
replacement parts. Read the
lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help.
Do not leave the scene of a
crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a

information to police and other
parties involved in the crash.

Managing the Vehicle
Damage Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle
requires damage repairs, GM
recommends that you take an
active role in its repair. If you
have a pre-determined repair
facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed
there. Specify to the facility
that any required replacement
collision parts be original
equipment parts, either new
Genuine GM parts or recycled
original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be
covered by the GM vehicle
warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the
repair, but you must live with
the repair. Depending on your
policy limits, your insurance
company may initially value the
repair using aftermarket parts.
Discuss this with the repair
professional, and insist on

500 Customer Information
Note
EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving
conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are
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.GM will not access these data
or share it with others except:
with the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is
leased, with the consent of the
lessee; in response to an
official request by police or
similar government office; as
part of GM's defense of
litigation through the
discovery process; or, as
permitted by law. Data that
GM collects or receives may
also be used for GM research
needs or may be made
available to others for
research purposes, where a
need is shown and the data is
not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner.
OnStar
If the vehicle is equipped with
OnStar and has an active
service plan, additional data
may be collected and
transmitted through the
OnStar system. This includes
information about the vehicle’s
operation; collisions involvingthe vehicle; the use of the
vehicle and its features,
including infotainment; and the
location and approximate GPS
speed of the vehicle. Refer to
the OnStar Terms and
Conditions and Privacy
Statement on the OnStar
website.
See OnStar Additional
Information
0503.
Infotainment System
If the vehicle is equipped with
a navigation system as part of
the infotainment system, use
of the system may result in
the storage of destinations,
addresses, telephone
numbers, and other trip
information. See the
infotainment section for
information on stored data
and for deletion instructions.
