Event Data Recorders
The vehicle has a number of
sophisticated systems that monitor
and control several vehicle data.
Some data may be stored during
regular operation to facilitate repair
of detected malfunctions, other data
is stored only in a crash or near
crash event by systems commonly
called event data recorders (EDR).
The systems may record data about
the condition of the vehicle and how
it was operated (e.g. engine speed,
brake application, seat belt usage).
To read this data, special equipment
and access to the vehicle are
required. This will take place when
the vehicle is serviced by a
Chevrolet dealer. Some data is
electronically fed into global
diagnostic systems. The
