Contact
the OnStar advisor if you need
assistance with a problem (flat tire,
out of fuel, etc.) while traveling. The
advisor will contact an appropriate
agency to come and assist you.
Contact an
OnStar advisor if you have an
emergency situation. The advisor
will contact the nearest emergency
services provider (ambulance, fire
department, etc.) and advise them of
your situation.
The OnStar
advisor can help you if you are ever
in a minor accident by asking you for
information about the accident.
Complete, detailed information will
make it easier to complete accident
reports and insurance claims.
The OnStar system uses the Global
Positioning System (GPS) to locate
your car whenever you place a call.
This allows the advisor to quickly
contact the nearest services without
requiring you to provide detailed
directions. If you are ever in an
accident that causes the airbags to
deploy, the OnStar system
automatically places a call (provided
the OnStar system and your car’s
electrical system are still intact). The
advisor will attempt to speak to you
to evaluate the situation, and contact
the nearest emergency services
provider.
By sending a signal to your car,
the advisor can lock or unlock your
car’s doors. This is helpful if you are
away from your car and realize you
forgot to lock the doors, or if you
have locked the keys in your car. To
get OnStar’s assistance, call (888) 4-
ONSTAR (466-7827).
Using
GPS, OnStar can locate your car
almost anywhere. If your car is ever
stolen, contact OnStar at (888)
4-ONSTAR. The advisor will put you
in contact with the proper authorities,
and assist them with locating your
car.
