Welcome to OnStar. This owner’s guide gives you
the information you need to get started using OnStar,
with descriptions of the current OnStar serv i c e s ,
including Personal Calling, Vi rtual Advisor and the
OnStar subscriber website.
Please keep this guide in your vehicle for easy
re f e rence. If you need information re g a rding
operation or features of OnStar, you’ll have it
readily at hand. Once you start using this guide,
you’ll see how easy it is to take advantage of the
s a f e t y, security and convenience of OnStar. For your
s a f e t y, please do not read this guide while you are

OnStar is a system designed to provide you
with personal communication and information
s e rvices while you are in your vehicle by combining
technologies of cellular phones, a Global Positioning
System and the OnStar Call Center.

The OnStar Call Center
The OnStar Call Center is the heart of your service –
s t a ffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with
knowledgeable OnStar Advisors. Even on weekends
and holidays, there is always someone ready to help.
When you contact OnStar, your Advisor can
pinpoint your vehicle’s location. This way, he or she
can provide you with a range of helpful services that
p rovide you with information and help to protect you
and your vehicle. Also, for some subscribers,
depending on their OnStar service plans, our
Advisors can access an extensive database to
assist you with directions, make re s e rvations and
other convenient services .

you require and contact a nearby emergency
s e rvices provider to dispatch ambulance, fire ,
police or other emergency services. Please use this
button only for true emergencies. If you press this

Personal Identification
Number (PIN)
When you signed up with OnStar, you were asked
to provide a personal identification number (PIN).
You’ll need your PIN to access some of the OnStar
s e rvices. 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 the OnStar
subscriber website, and for access to the OnStar
Vi rtual Advisor. (See descriptions of these serv i c e s
later in this manual.)
Changing your OnStar PIN is easy. Call the OnStar
Center and provide the Advisor with your current
n u m b e r, and he or she will assist you in setting up a
new number. If you have forgotten your PIN, just call
the OnStar Center. For security reasons, we will send
your PIN to you in the mail.
In addition to your OnStar PIN, you have another
f o u r-digit PIN that is used to secure OnStar Personal
Calling and OnStar Vi rtual Advisor from unauthorized
use. (See page 26.)
