112 Infotainment System
OnStar System
OnStar with 4G LTE
If equipped with OnStar 4G LTE, up to seven
devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and
laptops, can be connected to high-speed
Internet through the vehicle’s built-in Wi-Fi
hotspot.
Call 1-888-4-ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827) to
connect to an OnStar Advisor for assistance.
See www.onstar.com for a detailed
instruction guide, vehicle availability, details,
and system limitations. Services and apps
vary by make, model, year, carrier,
availability, and conditions. 4G LTE service is
available in select markets. 4G LTE
performance is based on industry averages
and vehicle systems design. Some services
require a data plan.
Phone
Bluetooth
For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth
capability, the system can interact with
many cell phones, allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in a
hands-free mode.
.Sharing of the cell phone’s address book
or contact list with the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction, before
driving, and with the vehicle parked:
.Become familiar with the features of the
cell phone. Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete duplicate
or rarely used entries. If possible,
program speed dial or other shortcuts.
.Review the controls and operation of the
infotainment system.
.Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle. The
system may not work with all cell
phones. See “Pairing”in this section for
more information.
.If the cell phone has voice dialing
capability, learn to use that feature to
access the address book or contact list.
See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section for
more information.
.See “Storing and Deleting Phone
Numbers” in this section for more
information.
{Warning
When using a cell phone, it can be
distracting to look too long or too often
at the screen of the phone or the
infotainment system. Taking your eyes
off the road too long or too often could
cause a crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.
A Bluetooth system can use a
Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a
Hands-Free Profile to make and receive
phone calls. The system can be used while
the ignition is on or in ACC/ACCESSORY. The
range of the Bluetooth system can be up to
9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all
functions, and not all phones work with the
in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See
www.gm.com/bluetooth for more
information on compatible phones in U.S.
and Canada only.
