services require a vehicle electrical
system, wireless service, and GPS
satellite technologies to be available

your vehicle is in a place where
OnStar has an agreement with a

in that area, and the wireless
service provider has coverage,

service. Service involving location
information about the vehicle cannot
work unless GPS signals are
available, unobstructed, and

properly installed or it has not been
properly maintained. If equipment or
software is added, connected,
or modified, OnStar service may not
work. Other problems beyond the
control of OnStar may prevent
service such as hills, tall buildings,
tunnels, weather, electrical system
design and architecture of the
vehicle, damage to the vehicle in a
crash, or wireless phone network
congestion or jamming.

can use the last stored GPS
location to send to emergency
responders.

cause loss of the ability to send
a Turn-by-Turn Navigation route.
The Advisor may give a verbal
route or may ask for a call back
after the vehicle is driven into an
open area.
