OnStar ® Steering Wheel Controls
Your vehicle may have a Talk/Mute button that
can be used to interact with OnStar
® Hands-Free
Calling. See Audio Steering Wheel Controls on
page 185 for more information.
On some vehicles, you may have to hold the
button for a few seconds and give the command
“ONSTAR” in order to activate the OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling feature.
On some vehicles, the mute button can be used to
dial numbers into voicemail systems, or to dial
phone extensions. See the OnStar
® Owner’s
Guide for more information.
How OnStar ® Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar ® services, your
vehicle’s OnStar ® system has the capability of
recording and transmitting vehicle information. This
information is automatically sent to an OnStar
® Call
Center at the time of an OnStar ® button press,
Emergency button press or if your airbags or AACN
system deploys. The vehicle information usually
includes your GPS location and, in the event of a
crash, additional information regarding the accident
that your vehicle has been involved in (e.g. the
direction from which your vehicle was hit).
When you use the Virtual Advisor feature of
OnStar
® Hands-Free Calling, your vehicle also
sends OnStar ® your GPS location so that we can
provide you with location-based services.
OnStar ® service cannot work unless your vehicle is
in a place where OnStar ® has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service in that area.
OnStar
® service also cannot work unless you are in
a place where the wireless service provider
OnStar
® has hired for that area has coverage,
network capacity and reception when the service is
needed, and technology that is compatible with the
OnStar
® service. Not all services are available
everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
OnStar ® service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.
