„ OnStar system limitations
Complete limitations can be found on the Subscriber
Services Agreement at www.onstar.com.
An OnStar Service Subscription Agreement is re-
quired in order to receive OnStar services, including
OnStar Personal Calling and OnStar Virtual Advisor.
OnStar services require vehicle electrical system and
wireless service to be available and operating for fea-
tures to function properly. OnStar uses existing emer-
gency service providers as well as wireless and satel-
lite technologies.
In order to provide you with excellent service, calls
with the OnStar Center may be monitored or recorded.
OnStar Service is:
y
available in the 48 contiguous United States, Alas-
ka, Hawaii;
y
available when the vehicle is within the operating
range of a cellular provider;
y
subject to limitations caused by atmospheric condi-
tions, such as severe weather or topographical condi-
tions, such as mountainous terrain;
y
subject to cellular carrier equipment limitations.
Global positioning locating capabilities will not be
available if satellite signals are obstructed.
OnStar will not function if the vehicle’s battery is dis-
charged or disconnected. It may also be inoperative if
the vehicle is in an accident and the OnStar or vehicle
electrical system components are damaged.
OnStar is the communication link between you and ex-
isting governmental emergency and roadside service
providers. OnStar will receive your call and use rea-
sonable effort to contact an appropriate provider. On-
Star cannot promise that the providers will respond in
a timely manner or at all.
If metallic objects, including roof-mounted accessories
or metallic cargo within the accessory, are placed in
the immediate vicinity of the OnStar antenna, the an-
tenna’s performance will be degraded. This may pre-
vent the OnStar system from functioning properly.
Therefore, please use caution when installing roof-top
accessories to make certain that metallic accessories
or metallic objects are not placed in the immediate vi-
cinity of the antenna.
