Data Recorders
Unlike the data recorders on  many airplanes, these
on-board systems do not record  sounds, such as
conversation of vehicle occupants.
To read this information, special  equipment is needed
and access to the vehicle  or the device that stores
the data is required. GM  will not access information
about a crash event or  share it with others other than:
Your vehicle, like other modern  motor vehicles,
has a number of sophisticated  computer systems that
monitor and control several aspects  of the vehicle’s
performance. Your vehicle uses on-board  vehicle
computers to monitor emission control  components
to optimize fuel economy, to  monitor conditions
for airbag deployment and, if  so equipped, to provide
anti-lock braking and to help  the driver control the
vehicle in difficult driving situations.  Some information
may be stored during regular operations to facilitate
repair of detected malfunctions; other  information
is stored only in a  crash event by computer systems,
such as those commonly called  event data
with the consent of the  vehicle owner or, if the
vehicle is leased, with the  consent of the lessee,

government office,
as part of GM’s defense  of litigation through the

In a crash event, computer  systems, such as the
Airbag Sensing and Diagnostic Module  (SDM) in your
vehicle may record information about the condition of the
vehicle and how it was  operated, such as data related
to engine speed, brake application,  throttle position,
vehicle speed, safety belt usage, airbag readiness,
airbag performance, and the severity  of a collision.
This information has been used  to improve vehicle
crash performance and may be  used to improve crash
performance of future vehicles and  driving safety.
use the data for GM  research needs,
make it available for research  where appropriate
confidentiality is to be maintained  and need is
shown, or
share summary data which is  not tied to a specific
vehicle with non-GM organizations for  research
purposes.
