EMERGENCY SERVICES
• Automatic Crash Response In a crash, built-in sensors can automatically alert a
specially trained OnStar Advisor and predict the severity of injuries. An Advisor
is immediately connected into your vehicle to see if you need help, even if you
can’t ask for it.
• Emergency Services One push of the red emergency button gives you a priority
connection to a specially trained OnStar Advisor who can direct emergency
services to your exact GPS location and offer critical assistance until help arrives.
• Crisis Assist In severe weather conditions or a crisis, our Advisors can provide
a fast, knowledgeable resource if you need emergency assistance, escape
routes and other resources. They can also contact family members for you.
AIR BAG SAFETY TIPS
• Remember that air bags work in conjunction with safety belts, not as a
replacement.
• Do not sit unnecessarily close to an air bag. When deployed during a crash,
air bags inflate at a high speed that can seriously injure or even kill anyone
sitting up against it.
• Occupants should not lean on—or sleep against—the door or side windows in
vehicles that have seat-mounted or roof-rail air bags.
• In certain vehicles, head curtain air bags are designed to deploy in the event
of a rollover to help protect occupants.
• See your Owner’s Manual for information about the location and operation of
the air bags in your vehicle.
