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-
less service, and GPS satellite technologies to be available and operating
for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency
service providers as well as wireless and satellite technologies

Add-on electrical equipment

The OnStar system is integrated into the electrical architecture of the
vehicle. Do not add any electrical equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio,
CB radio, etc.) to your vehicle unless you check with your dealer fi rst. Added
electrical equipment may interfere with the operation of the OnStar system.
Any damage would not be covered by your warranty.

OnStar equipment may be warranted as part of the new-vehicle limited war-
ranty. The manufacturer of the vehicle furnishes detailed warranty information.
