OnStar

14-7

Warranty

OnStar equipment may be
warranted as part of the new-vehicle
limited warranty. The manufacturer
of the vehicle furnishes detailed
warranty information.

Languages

The vehicle can be programmed
to respond in French or Spanish.
Push

Q

and ask an Advisor.

Advisors can speak French or
Spanish.

Potential Issues

Some OnStar services are disabled
after five days. 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 parking
garages; 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

Avoid placing 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. Push

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.
