OnStar®Virtual Advisor
OnStar®Virtual Advisor is a feature of OnStar®
Hands-Free Calling that uses your minutes
to access location-based weather, local traffic
reports, and stock quotes. By pressing the phone
button and giving a few simple voice commands,
you can browse through the various topics.
See the OnStar
®Owners Guide for more
information.
OnStar®Steering Wheel Controls
Your vehicle may have a Talk/Mute button that
can be used to interact with OnStar®Hands-Free
Calling. SeeAudio Steering Wheel Controls on
page 271for more information.
On some vehicles, you may have to hold the
button for a few seconds and give the command
“ONSTAR” in order to activate the OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling feature.
On some vehicles, the mute button can be used to
dial numbers into voicemail systems, or to dial
phone extensions. See the OnStar
®Owner’s
Guide for more information.
How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services, your
vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability of
recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an OnStar
®
Call Center at the time of an OnStar®button press,
Emergency button press or if your airbags or AACN
system deploys. The vehicle information usually
includes your GPS location and, in the event of a
crash, additional information regarding the accident
that your vehicle has been involved in (e.g. the
direction from which your vehicle was hit). When
you use the Virtual Advisor feature of OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling, your vehicle also sends
OnStar®your GPS location so that we can
provide you with location-based services.
OnStar
®service cannot work unless your vehicle is
in a place where OnStar®has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service in that area.
OnStar
®service also cannot work unless you
are in a place where the wireless service provider
OnStar
®has hired for that area has coverage,
network capacity and reception when the service is
needed, and technology that is compatible with the
OnStar
®service. Not all services are available
everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
138

OnStar®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.
Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your radio
to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next to the
OnStar®buttons is red, this means that your system
is not functioning properly and should be checked
by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is
appearing), your OnStar
®subscription has expired.
You can always press the OnStar®button to
conrm that your OnStar®equipment is active.

Operation (With Three Round LED)
Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote
System. If there are three round Light Emitting
Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote
System buttons, follow the instructions below. If
there is one triangular LED above the Universal
Home Remote System buttons, follow the
instructions under Universal Home Remote

141

Do not use the this system with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have another person
available to assist you in programming the
transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control
transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as,
for future programming. You only need the
original remote control transmitter for xed code
programming. It is also recommended that upon
the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the
programmed buttons should be erased for security
purposes. See “Erasing your Universal Home
Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Be sure that people and objects are clear
of the garage door or security device you are
programming. When programming a garage
door, it is advised to park outside of the garage.If you do not know if your garage door opener is a
xed code or rolling code device, open your garage
door opener’s remote control battery cover. Your
garage door opener is a xed code device if there is
a panel of switches. If not, your garage door opener
is a rolling code device.

Programming Universal Home
Remote — Rolling Code
Rolling code garage door openers are used for
garage doors produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded
signal is changed every time your remote control
garage door opener is used.
Programming a rolling code garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so read the
entire procedure before you begin. If you do not
follow these actions, the device will time out
and you will have to repeat the procedure.
Follow these steps to program up to three
channels:
1. Press the two outside buttons at the same
time for one to two seconds, and immediately
release them.2. Go to the garage. Locate the garage door
motor head and press and release the
“learn” button.
After pressing the “learn” button, you have
10 to 30 seconds to complete Step 4 depending
on your garage control unit. If you cannot locate
the “learn” button, refer to the owner’s guide for
your garage door opener.
3. Press and hold the button you would like to use
to control the garage door until the garage door
moves. The indicator light, above the selected
button, should slowly blink. You may need to
hold the button from ve to 20 seconds.

and stay on for about 40 seconds. The lamps can
be turned off immediately by pressing the lock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter,
turning the ignition key to RUN or activating the

The interior lamps will turn on if you open the door
when it is dark enough outside. When you close the
door with the ignition off, the interior lamps will stay
on for up to 25 seconds or until the ignition is turned
to an on position. When the lamps turn off as a
result of the 25 second timer or the ignition switch
being turned on, the lighting will deactivate by way
of the theater dimming effect. Locking the doors will
override the delayed entry lighting feature and the
lamps will turn off right away.

is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature and it is
activated, the climate control system will heat and
cool the inside of the vehicle, using the previous
system settings before the vehicle was turned off.
The rear window defogger will be turned on by the
climate control system when it is cold outside. If the
vehicle has heated seats, they will also turn on.
Cooled seats are not activated during a remote
start. Normal operation of the system will return
after the key is turned to the RUN position. See
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on
page 95for more information.
