OnStar nor GM is responsible for any
affected or erased data or settings.
These updates or changes may also
collect personal information. Such
collection is described in the OnStar
privacy statement or separately
disclosed at the time of installation.

cause a system to automatically
communicate with GM servers to
collect information about vehicle

consent to these software updates or
changes and agreement that either
OnStar or GM may remotely deliver
them to the vehicle.
