Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Your GM vehicle has a number of sophisticated
computers that record information about the
vehicle’s performance and how it is driven.
For example, your 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 anti-lock braking to help
the driver control the vehicle. These modules may
store data to help your dealer/retailer technician
service your 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 pre-sets, seat positions,
and temperature settings.
Event Data Recorders
Some information about your vehicle’s performance
and how it is driven may be recorded on various
modules if a crash occurs. Some people refer to
these modules asevent data recorders (EDRs).
These modules may record several seconds of
pre-crash and crash data, such as data related
toengine speed, brake application, throttle
position, vehicle speed, yaw rate, steering
wheel angle, lateral acceleration, safety belt
usage, airbag readiness, airbag performance
andthe severity of the collision.Unlike the ight
data recorders on airplanes, these modules do not
record sounds or conversations.
To retrieve this data, special equipment and
access to the vehicle or the module that stores
the data are required. Certain data may also be
sent to or retrieved by OnStar
®(see below).
GM will not access this information 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 of police or
455
ProCarManuals.com

similar government office; as part of GM’s defense
of litigation through the discovery process; or, as
required 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
specic vehicle or vehicle owner.
Others may be able to retrieve this data if they
have access to the vehicle and have the special
equipment necessary to download the data.
OnStar
If your vehicle has OnStar®and you subscribe
to the OnStar®services, please refer to the
OnStar®Terms and Conditions for information
on data collection and use. See alsoOnStar®
System on page 128for more information.
Navigation System
If your vehicle has anavigation system,
use of the system may result in the storage of
destinations, addresses, telephone numbers,
and other trip information.Please refer to
the navigation system operating manual for
information on stored data and for deletion
instructions.
Radio Frequency
Identication (RFID)
RFIDtechnology is used in some vehicles for
functions such as tire pressure monitoring
and ignition system security, as well as in
connection with conveniences such as key fobs
for remote door locking/unlocking and starting,
and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door
openers. RFID technology in GM vehicles
does not use or record personal information
or link with any other GM system containing
personal information.
