Potential Issues You
May Encounter
Radio-frequency interference
The OnStar system is a radio communications system. The proximity to other
radio signals created by other electrical devices may adversely affect the
performance of the OnStar system.
Vehicle and power issues
OnStar is powered by your vehicle’s battery and will not operate if the
battery is discharged or disconnected. If your vehicle is in an accident,
some components could be damaged or disconnected, potentially rendering
OnStar inoperative. OnStar services require vehicle electrical system, wire-
