How OnStar
®
Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar
®
services,
your vehicle’s OnStar
®
system has the capability
of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar
®
Call Center at the time of an OnStar
®
button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS location
and, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling,
your vehicle also sends OnStar
®
your GPS
location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.
