Telltale Light: This light will indicate the status of

start the vehicle to let you know that the system is on

cannot contact the advisor, take your vehicle to your
dealership as soon as possible for assistance.

Cellular Antenna: The cellular antenna on the outside

using the OnStar system. Optimum Cellular reception
can be obtained when the mast is straight up and down.
