than a decade of innovative development, it is both a highly
advanced technology—fully integrated within the vehicle—and a warm human
service. Standard on most Sierra models is one year of the OnStar Safe &
Sound plan, including the convenience and safety of Hands-Free Calling.

HandS-Free Calling
OnStar Hands-Free Calling
1
capability is built into your Sierra. It’s there when
your cell phone is unavailable, its battery is low, you can’t reach it easily or you
left it home or in the office. Your Hands-Free Calling system is the right choice
whenever you need an easy way to make and receive calls—at the touch of the
phone icon on the rearview mirror or the steering-wheel-mounted control shown
on page 18. Voice-activated dialing is convenient because you don’t have to
dial when you are at the wheel. And Hands-Free Calling is reliable because it’s
specially designed for better reception and fewer dropped calls in areas of
limited cellular reception. You are invited to experience the benefits yourself
with 30 Hands-Free Calling minutes—on OnStar—during the first two months
you drive your Sierra, with no strings attached.
OnStar turn-by-turn navigatiOn

models is one year of the OnStar Directions & Connections plan that adds innovative,
easy-to-use Turn-by-Turn Navigation

Services and Driving Directions. With Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you simply tell
the OnStar Advisor your intended destination, and directions will automatically
be sent to your Sierra. An automated voice then guides you turn-by-turn until
you arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is further enhanced
with eNAV,

directions directly to your vehicle.
No need to print out directions; just call them up with simple voice commands.
