OnStar

Potential Issues

OnStar cannot perform Remote
Door Unlock or Stolen Vehicle
Assistance after the vehicle has
been off continuously for five days.
After five days, OnStar can contact
Roadside Assistance and 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,
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.

A temporary loss of GPS can 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.

Cellular and GPS Antennas

Do not place items over or near the
antenna to prevent blocking cellular
and GPS signal reception. Cellular
reception is required for OnStar to
send remote signals to the vehicle.

Unable to Connect to OnStar
Message

If there is limited cellular coverage
or the cellular network has reached
maximum capacity, this message
may come on. Press

Q

to try the

call again or try again after driving a
few miles into another cellular area.

Vehicle and Power Issues

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

to function properly. These systems
may not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.

Add-on Electrical Equipment

The OnStar system is integrated
into the electrical architecture of the
vehicle. Do not add any electrical
equipment. See

Add-On Electrical

Equipment on page 9-66

. Added

electrical equipment may interfere
with the operation of the OnStar
system and cause it to not operate.

Privacy

The complete OnStar Privacy
Statement may be found at
www.onstar.com (U.S.),
or www.onstar.ca (Canada). We
recommend that you review it. If you
have any questions, call
1-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827)
or press

Q

to speak with an

Advisor. Users of wireless
communications are cautioned that
the privacy of any information sent
via wireless cellular communications
cannot be assured. Third parties
