1 Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with air bags. Even with the Passenger Sensing System, children should be properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner's Manual for more safety information.
2 Only available when the Driver Convenience Package is ordered.
3 OnStar services require vehicle electrical system and analog wireless service to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar uses existing emergency service providers as well as analog wireless and satellite technologies and is subject to their limitations. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers will no longer be required to support the analog wireless network after February 16, 2008. After that time, if the carriers for OnStar elect to only provide digital service, OnStar service will only be available through dual-mode hardware, which may require the purchase of a system upgrade. Call 1-888-4ONSTAR (1-888-466-7827), see your OnStar Owner's Guide, or visit www.onstar.com for system limitations and details.
