advisor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
For a full description of OnStar services and systemlimitations, see the OnStar Owner’s Guide in theglove box.
OnStar service is subject to the OnStar terms andconditions included in the OnStar SubscriberInformation.
OnStar service cannot work unless the vehicle is in aplace where OnStar has an agreement with a wirelessservice provider for service in that area. OnStarservice also cannot work unless the vehicle is in a placewhere the wireless service provider OnStar has hiredfor that area has coverage, network capacity andreception when the service is needed, and technologythat is compatible with the OnStar service. Not allservices are available everywhere, particularly in remoteor enclosed areas, or at all times.
The OnStar system can record and transmit vehicleinformation. This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar call center whenQis pressed,]is pressed, or
if the airbags or ACR system deploy. This informationusually includes the vehicle’s GPS location and, in theevent of a crash, additional information regarding thecrash that the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the directionfrom which the vehicle was hit). When the virtual advisorfeature of OnStar hands-free calling is used, the vehiclealso sends OnStar the vehicle’s GPS location so they canprovide services where it is located.
