With Automatic Crash Response, you have the peace of mind knowing that you can get the help you need, even if you can’t ask for it.

• In the event of a crash, air bag sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Emergency Advisor who is immediately connected into your vehicle to see if you need help.

• Even if you can’t respond, the Advisor can request that emergency help be sent to your vehicle’s exact GPS location.

Push the button and say “Update route” to update your route, or say “Cancel route” to cancel the current directions. OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation LimitationsAlways be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system.

It may suggest using a road that is closed for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection. Evaluate whether following the system’s directions are safe and legal for the current conditions. If the instructions continue to direct to a closed road, or a road that can’t be turned on, push the

button and ask the Advisor to find an alternate route.

OnStar offers Hands-Free Calling, a simple built-in ser-vice that allows you to make and receive calls from your vehicle. With the OnStar mobile app, you can control your vehicle from select smart phones.

Connections Hands-Free Calling

How to Make and End Calls1. Push the button. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the talk-

tone, say“Dial” then say the “<numbers>” or “Call <numbers>.” NOTE: Say the entire number, without pausing.

2. OnStar responds with “OK, calling <numbers>,” and dials the call. 3. Push the button to end the call. OnStar responds “Call ended.” How to store a name tag for speed-dialing1. Push the button. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the

talk-tone, say “Store.” 2. When the system responds with “Please say the phone number you would like

to store,” say the entire number, without pausing. 3. When the system responds with “Please say the

name tag,” choose a name tag, like “My house.”4. When the system responds with “About to store

<My house>. Does that sound OK?” say, “Yes” (or “No,” to try again).

Tips:• If there is a pause before the entire phone number

is spoken, the system repeats the numbers and then plays the talk-tone. Continue saying the numbers from where the pause occurred.

• To store phone numbers, say at least 7 digits. Always say “1” and the area code so calls connect.

• Use multi-word or multi-syllable name tags, like “My house.”

• If the vehicle is sold, be sure to delete all the stored name tags. Push the button and give the “Delete” or “Delete all” command.

* OnStar Hands-Free Calling requires a Hands-Free Calling-enabled vehicle, existing OnStar service contract and prepaid minutes. Not available in certain markets. Calls may be made to the U.S. and Canada only.

talk-tone, say “Call <name tag>” or “Dial <name tag>.”2. OnStar responds with “OK, calling <name tag>.” (Making a call uses up minutes.) How to store the last number you dialed1. Push the button. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the

talk-tone, say, “Store last number.”2. When the system responds with “Please say the name tag,” choose a name tag

that is easy to remember, like “Mom’s cell phone.”3. The system repeats the tag and asks “Yes or no?”4. Say, “Yes” to confirm, or “No” to start over.5. To place a call, push the button and say “Call mom’s cell phone.”

How to answer incoming callsWhen a call is received, the radio will automatically mute and a ring-tone will be heard. Push the button to answer the call. Some vehicles are equipped with controls on the steering wheels. Calls can be made or answered using the button. Call volume can be controlled with the radio volume control.

Helpful tips for Hands-Free Calling• Speak as clearly as possible, and louder as necessary.• Try speaking in a deeper, lower-pitched voice.• The system won’t recognize words like “hundred,” “thousand,” or “twenty.” For

example, the number “1.800.555.2030” is pronounced “one-eight-zero-zero-five-five-five-two-zero-three-zero.”

• Push the button and ask an Advisor for tips.• Say, “Dial 911” and the system will dial 911. In an emergency, always use the

button so that the GPS location is received by the OnStar Emergency Advisors.

Voice recognition tipsThe system is affected by noises inside and outside the vehicle. • Whenever the talk-tone is heard, the system is waiting for the digits to be said or

to be given a voice command.• Before pushing the button, ask passengers to be quiet while giving a

command. Additional voices will confuse the voice recognition system. • Be sure that the windows are up and that the fan speed is on low.• Voice recognition works best from the driver’s seat position. If passengers speak

commands, they may not be recognized.• The “Please wait a little longer before speaking” response means a command was given

before the system switched to listen mode. Pause for a second after the talk-tone. • The “Pardon” response means the system did not pick up enough digits of a

phone number to place a call. • The “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that, there’s too much background noise,”

response means that sounds in or around the vehicle are interfering with the voice recognition system.

• Say “Help” if you need help. The system will say, “What do you need help with?” • Numbers must be said in sets of three or four. Saying a single digit or two digits

will confuse the system.• Say “Clear” if a mistake is made when saying the numbers. The command clears

out the last set of numbers spoken. Or push the button and start over.• Say “zero” or “oh” for 0.• Say “pound key” for the # key.• Say “star key” for the * key.

How to check your minutes1. Push the button. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the

talk-tone, say “Minutes.”2. When the system responds with “Please say verify or add,” say “Verify.”3. OnStar responds with “You have [#] minutes remaining that expire on [date].”4. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the talk-tone, say the

desired voice command, or say “Goodbye.”

How to buy minutesAn OnStar Advisor can assist in the purchase of minutes. If minutes run out during a call, the call will automatically be terminated and an OnStar connection will be made so minutes can be replenished.1. Push the button. When the system responds with “OnStar ready” and the

talk-tone, say “Minutes.”2. When the system responds with “Verify or add,” say “Add.”3. When the system responds with “Connecting to OnStar Hands-Free Calling Center,”

a toll-free call will be connected to the OnStar Hands-Free Calling Center.4. Follow directions to buy more minutes.

NOTE: You can also buy minutes online at onstar.com.

Hands-Free Calling voice commandsAvailable voice commands include:• “Yes. No. OK.” – to respond to the system’s request for

a “Yes,” or “No” response. If the system has trouble recognizing “Yes,” the command “OK” can also be used.

• “My Number” – to hear the vehicle’s number.• “Dial” (or “Dial Number”) – to dial numbers.• “Call” (or “Call <name tag>”) – to speed-dial using

stored name tags.• “Store” – to store numbers for speed-dialing.• “Store Last Number” – to store the last dialed number.• “Redial” – to dial the last called number.• “Directory” – to play all the stored name tags.• “Help” (or “OnStar Help”) – to hear a list of all

commands.• “Delete” – to delete a name tag. The system will ask for the name tag to be deleted.• “Delete All Name Tags” – to delete every name tag stored, including Turn-by-Turn

name tags.• “Cancel” – to return to the “OnStar ready” prompt or exit Hands-Free Calling.• “Go Back” – to go back to the previous step.• “Minutes” – to determine minute status, number of minutes available or to add minutes.• “Verify or Add” – to verify the number of minutes available or to add more minutes

2. When the system responds with “Please say the first digit to dial (or store),”

say the first digit of the number to be dialed (or stored) and wait for it to be repeated back.

How OnStar Can Help Pay for Itself

Along with priceless peace of mind, OnStar can help you save money, too. In fact, OnStar can help pay for itself. OnStar can help you: Take Advantage of Auto Insurance Discounts• Low Mileage Discounts+: Drive less than 15,000 miles per year? Pay less — up to

54% off normal rates. By allowing OnStar to share your monthly mileage with GMAC Insurance, you can get deeper discounts based on your OnStar verified mileage.

• Active OnStar Subscriber Discounts: OnStar helps you qualify for an anti-theft discount from select insurance companies because OnStar Stolen Vehicle Assistance uses advanced technologies, such as GPS location, to help find stolen vehicles.++ Insurers offer 5% to 10% off your entire premium, plus some offer additional discounts off the comprehensive portion of your premium as well as discounts off your home owner’s insurance. Participating insurance providers include Liberty Mutual, GMAC Insurance and High Point Auto Insurance.

Increase Fuel EconomyOnStar Vehicle Diagnostic emails make it easy to maintain optimal tire pressure* in all four tires, which can help fuel economy by up to 3% or 9 cents per gallon.** And because OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics also monitors your vehicle’s key operating systems, it can help you keep your engine properly tuned. When combined, these two simple steps can help your fuel economy by up to 7% or 20 cents per gallon.**

Pay for Fewer Oil ChangesInstead of getting an oil change every 3,000 miles, count on an accurate recommendation from your monthly OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics report.*** It uses the GM Oil Life System which monitors engine characteristics, driving habits, and climate to determine when to change your oil. Most GM vehicles are averaging 8,500 miles between oil changes, which could cut your oil changes by 50% or more each year. That’s good for you, and better for the environment.

OnStar Savings

OnStar can help lower the cost of operating your vehicle.

25

Lengthen Tire LifeYour OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics email lets you know when it’s time to rotate your tires. And since a properly rotated set of tires lasts longer, that’s one more way that you can save money by using your OnStar service wisely.

Take Advantage of On-Demand Diagnostic ChecksImmediate attention to issues may help reduce the risk of costly repairs. When an indicator light comes on, push the button to request an On-Demand Diagnostic check at no additional charge. OnStar Advisors can remotely diagnose the problem and recommend the smartest course of action.

Some OnStar services are disabled after 5 daysOnStar cannot perform Remote Door Unlocks, alerts or Stolen Vehicle Assistance after the vehicle has been off continuously for 5 days. After 5 days, OnStar can contact Roadside Service and a locksmith to help gain access into the vehicle. Global Positioning System (GPS)• Obstruction of the GPS can occur in a large city with tall buildings, in parking garages,

around airports, in tunnels, underpasses, parking garages or in an area with very dense trees. If GPS signals are not available, the OnStar system should still operate to call OnStar. However, the OnStar Center could have difficulty identifying the exact location. The Advisors may ask you to hold while they update the vehicle location.

• In emergency situations, OnStar can use the last stored GPS location to send to Emergency responders.

• A temporary loss of GPS can cause loss of the ability to send a Turn-by-Turn Navigation route. The Advisor may give a verbal route or may ask for a call back after the vehicle is driven into an open area.

Push the button to try the call again or try after driving a few miles into another cellular area. Payment lapse and system deactivationAn active OnStar subscription is required for all services to work, including Hands-Free Calling. If you do not arrange for payment at a time when a payment is due, the system may be deactivated by OnStar and you will be without protection of the OnStar Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services and all other services included in your subscription.

Vehicle and power issuesOnStar services require a vehicle electrical system, wireless service and GPS satellite technologies to be available and operating for features to function properly. These systems may not operate if the battery is discharged or disconnected. Add-on electrical equipmentThe OnStar system is integrated into the electrical architecture of the vehicle. Do not add any electrical equipment (for example, two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data recorders, etc.) or modify antennas on your vehicle, unless you check with your dealer first. Added electrical equipment may interfere with the operation of the OnStar system and void your ability to operate it.
