OnStar® uses several innovative technologies and live advisors to provide you with a wide range of safety, security, information, and convenience services. If your airbags deploy, the system is designed to make an automatic call to OnStar® Emergency where we can request emergency services be sent to your location. If you lock your keys in the vehicle, call OnStar® at 1-888-4-ONSTAR and they can send a signal to unlock your doors. If you need roadside assistance, press the OnStar® button and they can contact Roadside Service for you.

A complete OnStar® Owner's Guide and the Terms and Conditions of the OnStar® Subscription Service Agreement are included in the vehicle's OnStar® Subscriber Information packet located in your vehicle.
