or if the airbags or ACR system deploy. This information
usually includes the vehicle's GPS location and, in the
event of a crash, additional information regarding the
crash that the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the direction
from which the vehicle was hit). When the virtual
advisor feature of OnStar hands-free calling is used, the

including adequate battery power, for the OnStar
equipment to operate. There are other problems OnStar

OnStar service at any particular time or place. Some
examples are damage to important parts of the vehicle
in a crash, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather or
wireless phone network congestion.

numbers into voice mail systems, or to dial phone
extensions. See the OnStar Owner's Guide for more
information.
