In the event of an emergency, push the red emergency button,
your vehicle is designed to send your current location to an
OnStar Advisor who can find out what assistance you need,
and notify nearby emergency service providers.* The system
can also automatically call OnStar if your air bags deploy. But
OnStar isn’t just there for you in an emergency; it’s there for
you every day for the little things, too. If you accidentally lock
your keys inside your car, an OnStar Advisor can send a signal
to unlock your door.* And if your car is stolen, OnStar can
help the police locate it.*

One of the most popular features is OnStar Hands-Free Calling ,
that allows you to make and receive voice-activated phone
calls. It’s a convenient, safer way to stay connected when
you’re behind the wheel.

start making calls today. Every new OnStar equipped-vehicle
comes with 30 complimentary minutes good for 2 months - no
strings attached. Be sure to use your minutes before the two
month expiration.

to respond in French or Spanish language, just press the
OnStar button and ask an Advisor.

respond to any situation and can be a calm and helpful voice for you in
a traumatic situation.

information related to an AMBER Alert, press the Emergency button.
An OnStar Emergency Advisor can connect you to the proper
authorities so you can help with the situation.

AccidentAssist

Being in a collision is stressful enough. The AccidentAssist service
provides you with step-by-step guidance about what to do in the wake
of an accident. Because your location is sent with your call, OnStar
Advisors can determine the police department that has jurisdiction at
your accident location and contact them for you. By working with
leading insurance companies, we’ve developed a “best practices” list
to assist you through most accident situations. OnStar Accident Assist
can help to take you through all the necessary steps after an accident
at an emotional time when you might be out of focus.

The Emergency Button

(GPS), is sent with this call. This enables the OnStar Advisor to
relay your location to emergency service personnel so services
can be dispatched quickly.

Advanced Automatic Crash Notification

(AACN)

Some Vehicles are equipped with Advanced Automatic Crash
Notification, or AACN*. If a vehicle is equipped with AACN, in
some collisions where a moderate to severe impact has
occurred, sensors located on the vehicle will trigger an
automatic call to OnStar. The notification is not dependent on
the deployment of airbags. AACN equipped vehicles also
provide additional incident data to OnStar, (for example, the
direction from which your vehicle was hit), that can enhance
the response from emergency service providers. The
information assists responding emergency crews in
determining the appropriate combination of emergency
equipment, personnel, and medical teams that may be
needed to respond to the crash scene.

It is possible that if you make an extremely aggressive
evasive driving maneuver, that type of motion could cause
an AACN call to OnStar. If OnStar places a call to your
vehicle under these circumstances, just tell the Advisor
that you did not have a crash.

Be a Good Samaritan

If you witness an accident or some type of problem on the
road, press the Emergency button to report it and help others
in need, or to help prevent a potential problem.

Your OnStar system includes access to Hands-Free Calling, a feature
that allows you to make and receive voice activated phone calls in
your vehicle. Every new OnStar-equipped vehicle comes with 30
complimentary minutes good for the first 2 months of your
subscription. This way you can make a few calls to try it out - no
strings attached. All you need to do is learn a few simple commands
for dialing. Your vehicle has it’s own phone number so your friends
and family can call you when you’re in your vehicle. When someone
calls you, your radio will automatically mute, and you will hear a ring
tone. Just push the phone button to answer the call.

How to retrieve your phone number:

Note: If the response is “I’m sorry personal calling isn’t available,” this
means your Hands-Free Calling feature is not yet active. It may take a few
days from vehicle delivery.This could also mean that OnStar Hands-Free
Calling is not available in your area. Push the blue OnStar button to check
with an Advisor.*

Now that you have your vehicle’s phone number, take a moment to
practice by making your first call to your home phone. Remember,
the system recognizes numbers better when you say them quickly.

How to make a call:

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,”

say “Dial.”

2. When OnStar responds with

“Please say the entire phone

number to dial,”

say the entire number you wish to dial

without pausing.*

3. OnStar will repeat the number and ask

“Yes”

or

“No.”

4. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).

OnStar Hands-Free Calling

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“

OnStar ready”

The Phone Button

22

5. OnStar responds with

“Ok, Dialing.

” Your call will be

connected.
(When you make or receive calls you will be using
Hands-Free Calling minutes.)

Once you’ve dialed your home phone, you’ll want to store
that number so it will be easy to access when you want
to call home again. You can store your home number as
a “nametag,” for speed dialing. Storing nametags will not
use up minutes.

How to store a nametag for speed dialing:

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,”

say “Store.”

2. When OnStar responds with

“Please say the entire

phone number to store".

Say the entire number you
wish to store, without pausing.* OnStar will repeat the
number, and ask

“Yes”or“No.”

3. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).

4. When OnStar responds with

“Nametag, please,”

say

“<home>.”

5. When OnStar responds with “

About to store

<home>.

Does that sound Ok?”

say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).

6. OnStar responds with

“Ok storing <home>.”

•

Voice recognition works best if you store numbers while you

are stopped with the fan on low and with the engine running.

• You can store up to 20 nametags for speed dialing

• Try to use multi-syllable nametags, like “my home”,

“the office”

•

Try to avoid using similar-sounding nametags (like Tim & Kim)

Note: When using the Dial and Store commands, always use a “1”
and the area code. You can say “zero” or “oh” for 0.

*OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service, and GPS satellite signals to be

available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar Hands-Free Calling and Virtual Advisor require a Hands­Free enabled vehicle, existing OnStar service contract, and prepaid calling minutes. OnStar Hands-Free Calling and Virtual
Advisor not available in Alaska and some other markets. Calls may be made to the U.S. and Canada only. OnStar voice
recognition system may not work with some voices. See “Additional Information” section on pages 31–38 for system

General tips for better speech recognition

Whether you are speaking commands or dialing numbers,
background noise may confuse the speech recognition system.
In noisy situations, the system may not recognize your
commands. You will usually get better performance from the
system in quieter conditions. Here are some common

sources of vehicle noise:

• Air conditioner/heater fan, try turning the fan off temporarily

• Highway engine noise and strong winds, try slowing down

or waiting until you stop

• An open window or an open sunroof, close all windows for

better results

• Heavy rainstorms, you may have to wait until the rain

subsides

• Passenger conversation,be sure passengers are quiet while

you speak commands

Helpful tips for Hands-Free Calling

• Speak as clearly and naturally as possible, and as loud as

necessary.

• You may have better results by speaking in a deeper,

lower-pitched voice, but try not to lower your volume.

• Avoid speaking with a rising intonation, such as when

asking a question. Use a flat or falling intonation, as if
giving an answer.

• Since everyone’s voice is unique, using different voice

techniques will help the system to work for you.

• For more help with voice recognition, press the OnStar

button and ask an Advisor for help. They’ll be happy to
give you more tips.

• Speaking numbers: To ensure your calls are connected

everywhere you go, always dial and store 11-digit phone
numbers using a “1” and the area code. You can also say “911”
and the system will dial 911.

• The system does not recognize words such as “hundred,”

“thousand,” or “twenty.” Instead, you should say each digit
separately and continuously. For example, the phone number

“1.800.555.2030” is pronounced, “one-eight-zero-zero-five­five-five-two-zero-three-zero.”

Steering Wheel Controls

Some vehicles may have a steering wheel
button that allows you to conveniently press
it to engage OnStar Hands-Free Calling. The
button may be a symbol of a face with sound
waves, or may say MUTE, or be a symbol of
a radio speaker with a slash through it. You
can find out if your vehicle has this feature
by pressing this button. If you hear

“OnStar ready”,

that means
that your vehicle has this feature. (In some vehicles, you may need
to press and hold the button for a few seconds.) If your vehicle has
a DVD navigation system, you may need to press the button and
say “OnStar”, and then you will hear the

“OnStar ready”

prompt.

After you hear

“OnStar ready”

use any of the voice commands

from the previous section.

Dialing extension numbers and accessing voice
mail systems

Once you have called into an automated phone system, vehicles
with a steering wheel control may allow you to dial numbers for
phone extensions, dial numbers into Voice Mail systems and
navigate through the “PRESS 1, or PRESS 2” functions of a
business phone system. If your vehicle has this steering wheel
control function, the following paragraphs will tell you how to use
your voice to dial numbers as if you had a phone key pad.

Your Subscriber Information Kit includes a CD. If you listen to
Track 8 you can hear exactly how to dial numbers into voice
mail systems.

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,

” dial the number you wish to call.

2. Once you reach the automated system and you need to

enter a digit, or dial the star key, or pound key, press the
steering wheel control. You may have to hold the the button
for a few seconds.

3. When OnStar responds with

“Please say the first digit

to dial,”

speak the digit you wish to enter (or star or

pound). The system will repeat the digit back to you,
then say “Dial” or;

4. Continue entering digits one at a time waiting for each

to be repeated. When finished, say “Dial” and OnStar
will send all the digit tones.

Remember: after you say “Dial” and digits are dialed, you
must press the “Talk” or “MUTE” button each time you
need to enter more digits.

To differentiate the pound and star keys from other numbers
and commands, you must say “Pound key” and “Star key.”

Note: If you have attempted to dial a phone number unsuccessfully
3 times, the system will automatically respond with, "Would you
like to try saying the digits one at a time using Digit Dial?" If you
say “Yes”, the system will respond with “First Digit to dial, please”.
Proceed to dial by saying each number individually, wait for it to be
repeated, then say the next number, wait for it to be repeated and
continue in this manner until all the digits of the phone number
have been repeated. After the last number is repeated say “Dial”

.

Using Digit Dial

If you have difficulty using voice-activated dialing by saying
the entire phone number at once, it may help to switch to
Digital Dial. With this feature, you say each digit of the phone
number one at a time, and the system will repeat each digit
back to you. To access the Digital Dial feature:

OnStar Hands-Free Calling

How to dial a number using Digit Dial

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,”

say “Digit dial.”

2. When OnStar responds with

“First digit to dial, please,”

say the
first digit of the number to be dialed and wait for it to be repeated
back to you.

3.Continue one digit at a time until all digits are entered.

4. When finished, say “Dial.” OnStar responds with

“Dialing”

and

your call is placed.

If you have problems storing a number using the continuous number
method, you can store numbers one digit at a time using Digit Store.
Simply follow the instructions above for Digit Dial, except say “Digit

store” in Step 1 and ”Store number” in Step 4.

Tips to help you with individual Digit Dialing

When entering numbers using Digit Dial, Digit Store, or Security,
remember:

• If you get the error message “Slower, please,” you may have

spoken too quickly. The system needs time to change from talk
mode to listen mode. Try pausing briefly before speaking after the
system prompts you.

• The system will only recognize one digit at a time. If the system

doesn’t understand what you say, it will respond with the error
message “Pardon?” Simply try again, speaking in a deeper tone
or more clearly.

• If the system repeats an incorrect digit, say “Clear.” After the system

indicates the digit has been cleared, say the digit again.

Use Your 30 Complimentary Minutes

OnStar-equipped vehicles and new OnStar subscriptions come with
30 complimentary minutes for you to use to experience the benefits
of hands-free calling There is no charge, no risk, and no obligation -

27

16312 6.1 text R3.qxd 1/10/06 4:27 PM Page 28

The Phone Button

just use the minutes to make a few phone calls and try it
out. Your 30 complementary minutes will expire 2 months
after your OnStar service begins. Once they expire you will
need to purchase a package of minutes from OnStar to
continue using Hands-Free Calling. Your OnStar system
keeps track of your minutes, and when you make a call with
less than 10 or fewer minutes remaining, you'll hear a short
message.

How To Verify Remaining Units/Minutes

When you make or receive calls you use minutes. The
OnStar system calls them “Units”. Your OnStar system will
notify you when you have 10 or fewer calling minutes
remaining. This will occur at the beginning of a call or in the
middle of a call, and will tell you “You Have Less Than 10
Units Remaining”. You can check how many minutes you
have remaining by following these steps:

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,”

say “Units.”

2. When OnStar responds with

“Verify or add,”

say

“Verify.”

3. OnStar responds with

“You have [#] units remaining.”

4. Returns to main menu

“OnStar ready.”,

and waits for

your next command. If you are finished, say

"Cancel"

.

Note: If you have zero Hands-Free minutes left and you try to make
a call you will hear the message “I’m sorry, you don’t have enough
units to place a call. Connecting to OnStar Personal Calling”.You
will be connected to the OnStar Hands-Free Calling Center where
you can easily purchase more minutes so you can make calls.

Security Code/locking your system

You can set up a four-digit Personal Security Code to ensure
that unauthorized people do not use the calling capability of
your system. You can turn the security system off or on by
following the instructions below.

1. Press the phone button. When OnStar responds with

“OnStar ready,”

say “Security code.”

2. OnStar responds with

“Enter first digit of code, please.”

3. Say your four-digit code, one digit at a time. OnStar will
confirm each digit by repeating it back to you. After the
fourth digit, OnStar will say

“Security Code [####] is

now on/off.”

On

ce you have turned the Security feature on, any command

you give after an

“OnStar Ready”

response will return the

message

“I’m sorry, I can’t do that while security is on”.

Be
sure to remember your security code. You will need to enter it
again to turn Security off. If you forget your code, call OnStar
at 1.888.4.ONSTAR (1.888.466.7827) and we can reset it. If
you have activated the Security feature, other people will not
be able to call you.

Transferring OnStar

Any unused time from the first year of OnStar service
included in the price of an OnStar-equipped vehicle is not
transferable. When you sell your current vehicle, you may
transfer any remaining customer-paid months of service or
Hands-Free Calling minutes to your new OnStar-equipped
vehicle. See your dealer or call 1.888.4.ONSTAR
(1.888.466.7827) for complete terms and conditions.

OnStar Personal Identification Number (PIN)

You’ll need your PIN to access some of the OnStar services.
If, for example, you’re locked out of your vehicle or it has
been stolen, an Advisor will ask for your PIN in order to
provide assistance. This PIN can also be used for access to
m

yonstar.com and OnStar Virtual Advisor (see descriptions
of these services under “The Blue Button Section”). Your
PIN is the last four digits of the home phone number you
gave at the dealership when you took delivery of your
vehicle. Changing your OnStar PIN is easy. Call the OnStar
Center and provide the Advisor with your current number,
and he or she will assist you in setting up a new number.

Potential Issues You May Encounter

Some OnStar services are disabled
after 48 hours

OnStar is powered by your vehicle’s battery. To preserve the battery
for starting the vehicle, OnStar cannot perform remote door unlocks,
alerts, or vehicle theft location after the vehicle has been off continuously
for 48 hours.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

Vehicle positioning information is normally sent to the OnStar
Center during OnStar button pushes, air bag deployments, or
emergency-service button requests from the vehicle.

Vehicle position is determined by your vehicle receiving signals
transmitted by GPS satellites. If the signals are obstructed,
positioning capability could be degraded or lost. This situation would
be most prevalent in urban areas with tall buildings. Tunnels,
underpasses, parking garages, trees, and similar structures could also
adversely affect positioning
performance. Under these conditions, the system will operate but
the OnStar Center could have difficulty identifying your location.

Cellular antennas

Your OnStar-equipped vehicle may have a short, black,
cellular antenna. You should occasionally check it to be sure it’s tight by
rotating the mast clockwise with your fingers. Because all OnStar
cellular antennas are ideally mounted outside of the metal and
glass of the vehicle, they can receive cellular signals without
obstruction by the vehicle. You will find that the OnStar system
broadcasts and receives cellular signals much better than a
handheld cell phone. This may allow you to make and receive calls
when other phones won’t.

16312 6.1 text R3.qxd 1/10/06 4:27 PM Page 36

OnStar Owner’s Guide

Your system may be inoperative if
cellular signal is marginal or unavailable.

Since OnStar uses cellular technology for communication
with the OnStar Center, it can only be operated in
geographic areas where there is cellular coverage reception
and capacity. Although nearly all of the North American
population lives and works in cellular coverage areas, there
are various rural and mountainous areas where coverage is
marginal or does not exist. Cellular service is also
subject to transmission limitations caused by atmospheric
conditions. OnStar service is only available in the
continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada. If a
request for service occurs outside of these areas,
communications may not be available, and the OnStar
Advisor may not be able to help you. OnStar service may
also be inoperative if wireless communications service is
inactive or inoperative. OnStar uses a dedicated cellular
communications service and will not operate if, for some
reason, a cellular carrier has deactivated cellular service.
Or it may be inoperative if the cellular system is busy. In
any area, the local cellular system can handle only a limited
number of cellular calls at a given time. Once usage
volume has reached its maximum, additional callers are
denied access. If this situation occurs when an OnStar
request for services is made, the OnStar system will
automatically redial (a few times for OnStar services or
indefinitely for an air bag deploy, or an Emergency
button press). There may be other factors that are
outside of OnStar’s control that may affect or prevent
service. If you pressed the OnStar button and you heard
the message, “I’m sorry. I couldn’t connect to
OnStar.” Press the OnStar button again the system has

36

16312 6.1 text R3.qxd 1/10/06 4:27 PM Page 37

37

Potential Issues You May Encounter

several methods it can use to connect you to the OnStar Call
Centers. The OnStar system in your vehicle can attempt to
connect you by using several cellular system services. If these
attempts fail, this message response will play. After a few
moments, or after you have driven a few miles into another
cellular network, try pressing the OnStar button again. If this
message continues, please contact OnStar by calling 1-888
4ONSTAR, (888 446-7827). Our advisors can investigate cellular
problems that may be occurring in your area or in your vehicle
and help get them repaired.

Radio-frequency interference

The OnStar system is a radio communications system. The
proximity to other radio signals created by other electrical devices
may adversely affect the performance of the OnStar system.

Vehicle and power issues

OnStar is powered by your vehicle’s battery and will not operate if
the battery is discharged or disconnected. If your vehicle is in an
accident, some components could be damaged or disconnected,
potentially rendering OnStar inoperative. OnStar services require
vehicle electrical system, wireless service, and GPS satellite
technologies to be available and operating for features to function
properly. OnStar acts as a link to existing emergency service
providers as well as wireless and satellite technologies.

16312 6.1 text R3.qxd 1/10/06 4:27 PM Page 38

OnStar Owner’s Guide

Add-on electrical equipment

The OnStar system is integrated into the electrical architecture
of the vehicle. Do not add any electrical equipment (e.g.,
two-way mobile radio, CB radio, etc.) to your vehicle unless
you check with your dealer first. Added electrical equipment
may interfere with the operation of the OnStar system. Any
damage would not be covered by your warranty.

Warranty

OnStar equipment may be warranted as part of the
new-vehicle limited warranty. The manufacturer of the
vehicle furnishes detailed warranty information.

A note about privacy

At OnStar, we know you want to protect your privacy, and
we take subscriber privacy very seriously. Privacy-sensitive
users of wireless communications are cautioned that the
privacy of any information sent via wireless cellular
communications cannot be assured. Third parties may
unlawfully intercept or access transmissions and private
communications without your consent.

The complete OnStar Privacy Policy may be found
at onst

Performance and speech recognition

The OnStar system uses speech technology that’s designed to
understand a wide range of speakers of American English. But
the technology may not work equally well across all regional and
ethnic accents and under all noise conditions. For this reason, the
OnStar voice recognition system may not recognize all commands
from all voices.

Of course, there’s no one “right” way to speak English. The
system works best when users try to modify their pronunciation
in response to system errors. Tips found in this guide are designed
to help users who may be experiencing difficulty with the system.

Voice Command Error Messages

“Pardon”

— If the system responds with, “Pardon”, when you’re
speaking a phone number, just try repeating the number again.
Ensure you dial phone numbers using a 1 plus the area code,
then the number. If the system responds with, “Pardon”, when
you’re speaking a command, try repeating the command as
clearly as possible. After the third time this happens, the
system will try to guess the command you are requesting. If
correct, say “Yes.” If not, say “No,” and the system will prompt
you with its next-best guess.

“Slower, please”

— This response normally happens if you say
a command before the system is ready to listen or if there is
substantial background noise. Try to listen slightly longer before
speaking, and try to minimize background noise.

• Be sure to articulate each sound in the word. The voice recognition

system can have trouble recognizing a word when final consonants
are not pronounced. It may be helpful to emphasize the final
consonant.

Voice Recognition Troubleshooting

16312 6.1 text R3.qxd 1/10/06 4:27 PM Page 40

OnStar Owner’s Guide

• Avoid “clipping” short words and syllables. Instead,

try lengthening the short words and syllables, and
slow down your overall speech rate. Try lengthening
different syllables of the word.

• Try speaking louder. When there is a lot of background

noise, the system has more trouble hearing your speech.
If, however, you find that you are speaking so loudly that
you are stressing your voice, speak a little more quietly
but with clearer pronunciation.

• The system may recognize your commands better if you

try a different pitch. Try using a higher or lower pitch. You
can also try speaking faster or slower, or try varying
the volume of your voice— speaking louder or softer.
