on or off by touching Settings, then
Apps, and then Phone. When TTY
mode is on, phone calls can be made
or received with OnStar using the

Potential Issues
OnStar cannot perform Remote Door
Unlock or Stolen Vehicle Assistance
after the vehicle has been off
continuously for an extended period
of time without an ignition cycle. To
find out the duration of time that
applies for the vehicle, contact an
OnStar Advisor by pressing
Q
or
calling 1-888-4ONSTAR. If the vehicle
has not been started for an extended
period of time, OnStar can contact
Roadside Service or a locksmith to
help gain access to the vehicle.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
.
Obstruction of the GPS can occur in
a large city with tall buildings; in
parking garages; around airports; in
tunnels and underpasses; or in an
area with very dense trees. If GPS
signals are not available, the OnStar
system should still operate to call
OnStar. However, OnStar could have
difficulty identifying the exact
location.
.
In emergency situations, OnStar can
use the last stored GPS location to
send to emergency responders.
