OnStar Services: Enhancing Safety and Convenience

Today’s drivers expect more than just horsepower and performance—they want technology that helps them stay safe, connected, and prepared. That’s where Chevrolet OnStar services come in. Built into most new Chevrolet vehicles, OnStar offers a powerful suite of safety and convenience features designed to support you on every journey.

Whether you’re taking a cross-country road trip or running errands around town, OnStar provides real-time help when you need it most. Here’s a closer look at how OnStar enhances your driving experience.

1. Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Always Know Where You’re Going

Forget fumbling with your phone or pulling over to check directions. With OnStar’s built-in Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you can get precise directions delivered directly to your Chevrolet’s dashboard or audio system.

Just press the blue OnStar button and speak to a live Advisor who will help you find your destination. Once the route is downloaded, your vehicle guides you turn by turn—no smartphone needed.

Why it matters:

• Great for long trips or unfamiliar areas
• Helps reduce distractions
• Updates routes in real-time if you make a wrong turn

2. Roadside Assistance: Support When You Need It Most

No one plans to get a flat tire or run out of gas—but if it happens, OnStar Roadside Assistance is ready 24/7. With a simple push of a button, you can request help for:

• Towing
• Battery jump-starts
• Lockout assistance
• Flat tire replacement
• Emergency fuel delivery

This feature is especially valuable during winter months or when traveling far from home, giving drivers peace of mind that help is always within reach.

3. Emergency Services: Your Lifeline in a Crisis

In the event of an accident or emergency, OnStar’s Automatic Crash Response can be a lifesaver. If your Chevrolet detects a crash, an OnStar Advisor is automatically connected—even if you can’t reach the button.

Advisors are trained to notify first responders, provide critical information like your location and vehicle condition, and stay with you until help arrives. You can also press the red SOS button to request emergency assistance for medical issues, vehicle fires, or other urgent situations.

Key benefits include:

• Faster emergency response
• Added safety during solo drives or nighttime travel
• Assistance even if you can’t speak

4. Stolen Vehicle Assistance: Advanced Theft Recovery

Having your vehicle stolen is a worst-case scenario—but OnStar offers tools to help law enforcement recover it quickly. Through Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Advisors can work directly with police to:

• Locate your vehicle using GPS
• Remotely slow it down with Stolen Vehicle Slowdown
  
• Prevent the engine from restarting once turned off

These technologies help reduce the time and risk involved in recovering a stolen car, offering drivers a layer of security that traditional anti-theft systems can’t match.

5. Mobile App Integration: Total Control From Anywhere

With the myChevrolet Mobile App, you can access many OnStar features right from your smartphone. This includes:

• Remote start and stop
• Lock and unlock
• Vehicle diagnostics
• Locate your vehicle
• Send directions to your car’s navigation system

It’s like carrying your car in your pocket—perfect for busy mornings, cold winters, or simply making life more convenient.

6. Wi-Fi Hotspot and Connectivity

OnStar also supports in-vehicle connectivity with an available Wi-Fi Hotspot, powered by AT&T. Stay connected on the go, whether you’re commuting, traveling with kids, or taking a road trip.

Up to 7 devices can connect at once—stream music, join video calls, or work from the road without relying on your mobile data plan.
