Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7 Vehicle Data
Recording and
Privacy This GM vehicle has a number of
sophisticated computers that record
information about the vehicle ’ s
performance and how it is driven.
For example, the 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 technician
service the 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 presets, 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 the
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.
