Your DQ-Track guide Discovery Insure wants you to be a better driver. We use the latest technology to measure and encourage good driving, improve your driving knowledge and awareness and promote greater vehicle safety. We do this with DQ-Track, which measures your driving behaviour and provides you with unique safety features and services. It’s optional, and provided through Vitalitydrive, which is available at an additional monthly premium. Installation is free, there’s no monthly cost, and no contract or minimum term. DQ-Track safety features Your DQ-Track is a small device that fits into your car and uses an accelerometer, a GPS receiver to find your car’s location and a cellular component to transmit your driving data to us. Here’s an overview of its safety features: Stolen vehicle tracking and recovery DQ-Track is a stolen vehicle tracking and recovery device which is used to track your car if it has been stolen or if you are lost. VehicleProtector If your car battery is disconnected or DQ-Track loses external power, we will alert you to a potential incident of tampering or theft. We give you peace of mind that your DQ-Track is always in working condition. It automatically performs a daily health check that lets us know it is functioning properly. Real-time vehicle locator You can track your car in real time by simply sending an SMS and being notified immediately where your car is. If you are worried about family members, you will be able to find out where their cars are located in real-time. DQ-Track safety features Unique driver profiles The information collected by DQ-Track allows us to create a unique driver profile, enabling us to identify when someone other than the primary driver is driving their car. This allows us to detect if a car has been stolen or hijacked as the driving behaviour in such instances differs significantly to that of normal driving behaviour. In such instances, we will immediately call you and provide assistance if you need it. ImpactAlert Through ImpactAlert, DQ-Track is able to pick up if your car has been in a severe accident. When it detects a severe G-force, it immediately sends us a notification. We’ll monitor your car to determine if it’s stationary or if you continue driving normally. If the car suddenly stops, we’ll try to call you on your cellphone. If we can’t reach you, we’ll send assistance to the accident scene. We’ll send medical assistance if you need it. A severe impact to your car could damage the DQ-Track, preventing ImpactAlert from working. So in the event of an accident, you should always call Discovery 911 on 0860 999 911. By calling us immediately you are assured of receiving correct care and assistance in the quickest manner possible. DQ-Track safety features will work provided your DQ-Track is in working order and in an area with cellular network coverage. DQ Mapper DQ Mapper is our tool that allows you to track the location of your car in real-time and monitor every trip. You can draw various trip reports for private or business use, among other useful features. DQ Mapper provides far more detailed information regarding a car’s whereabouts and trip history than one would receive from standard tracking devices. Monitor every trip Your trip history is stored on DQ Mapper and you can access it at any time. DQ Mapper is available on www.discovery.co.za Measuring your driving behaviour Each month, you can earn up to 750 DQ Points based on your actual driving behaviour. The better you drive, the higher your DQ Points. For each element of driving behaviour we measure, the more extreme the event the lower your driver performance score. For example, the higher the G-forces exerted on your car when cornering, the lower your score will be. Your monthly driver performance score is based on your last three months of driving activities. When you install DQ-Track, you will get 400 driver performance points per month until we have collected enough credible driving information. This usually takes between four to six weeks following installation. We use the following factors when calculating your driver performance score: • Braking • Acceleration • Cornering • Speed •Distance •Late night driving (between 23:00 and 4:30). Your driver performance points are added to your overall Driver Quotient (DQ) Points score, which determines your Vitalitydrive status and rewards. Guidelines for your DQ-Track appointment The following are guidelines for your DQ-Track appointment should you install, repair or remove the device: •You must be available for 15 minutes before and after installation for a pre and post inspection of your car. When you sign the pre and post inspection report, you agree to our assessment of the vehicle. •The car needs to be parked on a level surface and all doors must be able to open fully. •The car must not be parked in a basement or public area. •The technician is not allowed to drive your car under any circumstances. •If you are trading your car in and/or cancelling your plan, you need to let us know so we can arrange for the DQ-Track to be removed as we may hold you liable for a R1000 penalty if the device is irrecoverable. •We confirm coverage for theft and/or hijacking for the time that the DQ-Track is not installed in your car, subject to our claims processes and procedures. •If you need the device to be fitted as part of the conditions of your cover, failure to honour your appointment may result in your cover being amended to exclude theft and hijacking. •Failure to have a DQ-Track installed will result in reduced DQ Points, affecting your rewards, like receiving cash back on your monthly BP fuel spend. •If you reschedule your appointment, we can’t guarantee an earlier time slot due to the availability of our technicians. This may affect your cover. In addition you will need to provide us with proof of vehicle pre-inspection within five days of cancelling your original appointment.

Does DQ-Track work across borders? DQ-Track can function with another tracking device in your car. However, we recommend that you remove any other tracking devices as each device uses the car’s battery power. You can save money by removing your other device, or you can keep it if you want to. Yes, DQ-Track can lose signal. All tracking devices incorporate GPS technology that connects to a satellite to give us coordinates. If your car is parked out of a satellite’s range, such as a basement, the signal can be lost. DQ-Track makes use of a cellular component to transmit the data – where there is poor cellular reception, DQ-Track will not be able to send its location.
