118 OnStar - Telematics
Your new vehicle comes equipped with
advanced telematics hardware and a full
year of Onstar premium service. Saab
Telematics is a sophisticated in-vehicle
system allowing convergence of wireless
communications, GPS (Global Positioning
System) satellites and advanced vehicle
electronics.
You must activate immediately to ensure
you receive your full year of service, as your
prepaid subscription begins at the time of
delivery.
Here’s how to activate your OnStar ser-
vice:
1 Push the blue OnStar button located in
your Saab. You will be greeted by a live
OnStar Advisor. The Advisor will acti-
vate your OnStar service.
2 Provide the information requested by
the Advisor to activate your account and
set up your personal profile. This will
take approximately 10-15 minutes.

you with any of the services
included in your OnStar plan.
