In Brief 1-21
The 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 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.Additional OnStar Controls
The vehicle may have a button,
located on the driver side of the
instrument panel near the headlamp
controls, that can be used to interact
with OnStar.
Use this button to dial numbers into
voicemail systems or to dial phone
number extensions. See the OnStar
Owner's Guide for more information.
Your Responsibility
Increase the volume of the radio if
the OnStar advisor cannot be heard.
If the light next to the OnStar
buttons is red, the system may
not be functioning properly.
Press
Qand request a vehicle
diagnostic. If the light appears clear
(no light is appearing), your OnStar
subscription has expired and all
services have been deactivated.
Press
Qto confirm that the OnStar
equipment is active.

Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters
programmed to this vehicle will
work. If a transmitter is lost or
stolen, a replacement can be
purchased and programmed through
your dealer. When the replacement
transmitter is programmed to this
vehicle, all remaining transmitters
must also be reprogrammed.
Any lost or stolen transmitters
will no longer work once the new
transmitter is programmed. Each
vehicle can have up to four
transmitters programmed to it.

The battery in the transmitter is
weak and should be changed if it
does not work at the normal range
in any location.
Notice:When replacing the
battery, do not touch any of the
circuitry on the transmitter. Static
from your body could damage the
transmitter. To replace the battery:
1. Separate the transmitter with a
flat, thin object inserted into the
notch on the side.
2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent
battery.
4. Snap the transmitter back together.

thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash is increased if the
doors are not locked. So, all
