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, Wi-Fi or similar technology). 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:
•
Ho
w 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,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide abetter
understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
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
eq
uipment, 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 involving the
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.
