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