DATA LOGGING
EVENT DATA RECORDING DEVICES
This PREVOST vehicle is equipped with a device generally referred to as an "event data recorder" or "EDR."
Please note that while the term "event data recorder" is typically used throughout the motor vehicle industry,
not every EDR is the same; i.e., they do not all record the same data elements.
The EDR on this PREVOST vehicle records vehicle speed, engine RPM, time and date, plus a variety of pedal
and switch positions, both before and after an "event." Sudden vehicle deceleration or the occurrence of
certain other vehicle operational characteristics will define (trigger) an "event."
For any questions about this vehicle EDR device, contact a PREVOST Service Center or a regional service
manager.
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.
