OnStar technology: an indispensable ally

Connected vehicles are now legion in the automotive world, but only General Motors models can be equipped with OnStar technology.

Everyone has heard of OnStar before. After all, this functionality with innumerable qualities has been part of the decor for more than 20 years already. But do you know exactly what OnStar can do for you and your family? We explain all that!

OnStar, a guardian angel who watches over you

Vehicles built by Chevrolet and other General Motors brands (Buick, Cadillac and GMC) have never been safe. Not only are they built to protect you well in the event of an impact, they now incorporate driver assistance systems to help you avoid accidents before they happen. Unfortunately, tragedies still happen, and this is where the OnStar system comes in.

If, unfortunately, you are involved in an accident in your General Motors vehicle, a notice will automatically be sent to OnStar and an OnStar advisor will call you quickly via your vehicle. If you are unable to answer or if you are asking for assistance, the counselor will alert the emergency services to help you quickly.

With OnStar, you will never be alone in your vehicle. No matter where you go, you can ride with peace of mind knowing that an OnStar advisor is never far away.

A human to answer you with OnStar

The OnStar system can save your life at a critical time, but it can also be used in less dramatic situations. You can hire the services of an OnStar advisor at the touch of a button on your General Motors vehicle.

For example, you could contact OnStar if you are looking for your way. The advisor can then determine your position and tell you which route to take by adjusting your satellite navigation system remotely.

Another scenario: you have a puncture in the middle of the night and you have to stop by the side of the road. A simple call to OnStar will allow you to quickly get in touch with an advisor who will keep you safe and look for help.

With OnStar, you will always be put in touch quickly with a human. A real human who will be there to support you and who will stay in touch with you for as long as it takes. Forget the machines with endless response choices and long delays before talking to someone. OnStar is the beauty of technology without forgetting the human touch.
