OnStar uses the global positioning
system (GPS) to locate your vehicle
f or f unctions such as route guidance
and roadside assistance. GPS is
af f ected by structures that can
obstruct the signal, such as tunnels,
parking structures, and tall buildings.
It may not be possible f or OnStar to
pinpoint your location if you are in or
near such structures.
OnStar uses cellular technology to
communicate with your vehicle.
Cellular coverage varies by location,
which may af f ect the ability to
establish a connection, or the quality
of the connection.
Onstar has antennas in the rear
window (on each side of the high-
mount brake light) and on the roof
near the high-mount brake light. To
avoid reception problems, do not
cover the window antennas with
metal stickers, and do not cover theroof antenna with cargo or bicycles
on a roof rack.
When you turn of f your vehicle’s
ignition, OnStar goes into low-power
mode. Af ter 48 hours, it switches to
sleep mode to conserve your vehicle’s
battery power. Features such as
remote door unlocking and
misplaced vehicle assistance will not
work af ter your vehicle has been
parked f or more than 48 hours.
