OnStar Personal
Identification
Number (PIN)
A PIN is needed to access
some OnStar services. The
PIN will need to be changed
the first time when speaking
with an Advisor. To change the
OnStar PIN, contact an
OnStar Advisor by pressing
Q
or calling 1-888-4ONSTAR.
Warranty
OnStar equipment may be
warranted as part of the
vehicle warranty.
Languages
The vehicle can be
programmed to respond in
multiple languages. Press
Q
and ask for an Advisor.
Advisors are available in
English, Spanish, and French.
Available languages may vary
by country.
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 Service 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.

coverage or the cellular

Qto try the call again or try

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
0336.
Added electrical equipment
may interfere with the
operation of the OnStar
system and cause it to not
operate.
Vehicle Software Updates
OnStar or GM may remotely
deliver software updates or
changes to the vehicle without
further notice or consent.
These updates or changes
may enhance or maintain
safety, security, or the
operation of the vehicle or the
vehicle systems. Software
updates or changes may
affect or erase data or
settings that are stored in the
vehicle, such as saved
navigation destinations or
pre-set radio stations. Neither
OnStar nor GM is responsible
for any affected or erased
data or settings. These
updates or changes may also
collect personal information.
Such collection is described in the OnStar privacy statement
or separately disclosed at the
time of installation. These
updates or changes may also
cause a system to
automatically communicate
with GM servers to collect
information about vehicle
system status, identify
whether updates or changes
are available, or deliver
updates or changes. An active
OnStar agreement constitutes
consent to these software
updates or changes and
agreement that either OnStar
or GM may remotely deliver
them to the vehicle.
