provider for service in that area. The
wireless service provider must also have
coverage, network capacity, reception, and
technology compatible with OnStar or
connected services. Service involving location
information about the vehicle cannot work
unless GPS signals are available,
unobstructed, and compatible with the
OnStar hardware. OnStar or connected
services may not work if the OnStar
equipment is not properly installed or it has
not been properly maintained. If equipment
or software is added, connected,
or modified, OnStar or connected services
may not work. Other problems beyond the
control of OnStar —such as hills, tall
buildings, tunnels, weather, electrical system design and architecture of the vehicle,
damage to the vehicle in a crash, or wireless
phone network congestion or jamming
—
may prevent service.
