How OnStar

®

Service Works

In order to provide you with OnStar

®

services,

your vehicle’s OnStar

®

system has the capability

of recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an
OnStar

®

Call Center at the time of an OnStar

®

button press, Emergency button press or if
your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle
information usually includes your GPS location
and, in the event of a crash, additional information
regarding the accident that your vehicle has
been involved in (e.g. the direction from which
your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual
Advisor feature of OnStar

®

Hands-Free Calling,

your vehicle also sends OnStar

®

your GPS

location so that we can provide you with
location-based services.
