Vehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders

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 air bag 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 recorders (EDR).

In a crash event, computer systems, such as the Air
Bag Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) in your
vehicle may record information about safety belt usage.
If your vehicle is equipped with Stabilitrak

®

, steering

performance, including yaw rate, steering wheel angle,
and lateral acceleration, is also recorded. Unlike the
data recorders on many airplanes, these on-board
systems do not record sounds, such as conversation of
vehicle occupants.
