Foreword iii
TELEMATICS DEVICE
Your vehicle is equipped with one or more recording devices (“ Telematics Device ”), associated with
Prevost’s Connected Vehicle Services (the “ Telematics Services ”). These services, which are described
in greater detail at www.prevostcar.com (the “ Website ”), allow you to manage vehicle maintenance and
repair in a cost-effective manner by providing: proactive diagnostic and repair planning assistance with
detailed analysis of diagnostic trouble codes; streamlined service procedures with parts-on-hand
confirmation before a vehicle arrives for service; and live repair and customer communication. The
service eliminates or reduces diagnostics time, enhances repair efficiency, expedites decision process,
improves communications and maximizes uptime. To access the Telematics Services, you must enter
into a Telematics Subscription Agreement with Prevost, via the sales agreement pertaining to your
vehicle.
The Telematics Device collects stores and/or transmits information about your vehicle. Such information
may include direction and rate of speed, fuel consumption, engine performance, gearing, rpm, altitude,
geo-location (including a history of where the vehicle travels), safety information related to the use and
operation of the vehicle, vehicle performance, diagnostic data and error codes. The Telematics Device
has the capacity to store historical data about the use and performance of your vehicle. The Telematics
Device has the ability to transmit information to a central communications system. The information
contained in your Telematics Device may be periodically transmitted to or accessed by Prevost and
others authorized by Prevost, along with your vehicle’s VIN number or other identifying information.
Prevost does not collect any driver information. Prevost retains and uses this information to understand
the operational use of your vehicle, to remotely tune your vehicle, and to help facilitate maintenance and
vehicle improvements. To the extent allowed by law, Prevost reserves the right to access, use and control
this information.
Declining to enter into a Telematics Subscription Agreement with Prevost, or canceling a Telematics
Subscription Agreement, will not end the transmission of data from your Telematics Device or the
collection of information by Prevost. Prevost may access Telematics Data, to the extent it is available,
and use it in connection with providing services and vehicle improvements to you and your vehicle.
Prevost will regularly purge from its systems all data collected from your Telematics Device, at time
intervals determined by Prevost at its sole discretion.
