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.

Help assure your vehicle’s f uture
reliability and perf ormance by paying
extra attention to how you drive
during the f irst 600 miles (1,000 km).
During this period:Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
Avoidhardbrakingforthefirst
200 miles (300 km).
Do not change the oil until the
scheduled maintenance time.
You should also f ollow these
recommendations with an
overhauled or exchanged engine, or
when the brakes are replaced. Do not tow a trailer. We recommend quality gasolines
containing detergent additives that
help prevent f uel system and engine
deposits.
In addition, in order to maintain good
perf ormance, f uel economy, and
emissions control, we strongly
recommend, in areas where it is
available, the use of gasoline that
does NOT contain manganese-based
f uel additives such as MMT.
Use of gasoline with these additives
may adversely af f ect perf ormance,
and cause the malfunction indicator
lamp on your instrument panel to
come on. If this happens, contact
your authorized dealer f or service.
Your vehicle is designed to operate
on premium unleaded gasoline with a
pump octane of 91 or higher. If this
octane grade is unavailable, regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump
octane of 87 or higher may be used
temporarily. The use of regular
unleaded gasoline can cause metallic
knocking noises in the engine and
will result in decreased engine
perf ormance. The long-term use of
regular-grade gasoline can lead to
engine damage.
