How to Use OnStar in the Car?
2 Answers
Press the blue OnStar button and inform the OnStar customer service advisor of your destination. OnStar can then directly download the voice navigation data to the owner's vehicle. Inform the customer service advisor of the destination and request to send it to the in-car navigation system. Click the 'Set' button, and navigation will begin immediately.
I often drive to and from work, and the OnStar system in my car is quite convenient to use. After getting in the car, I first press the blue button on the ceiling to activate the system, which automatically connects to a customer service representative to ask what assistance I need. The most frequently used feature is navigation—for example, when going to a new place, I press the button, say an address, and the voice navigation directly guides me. If there's a problem with the car or it runs out of battery, OnStar can automatically detect it and notify me remotely. In emergencies, like a crash or if something feels off, pressing the red button alerts rescue services to arrive immediately. It also allows checking the weather forecast or remotely unlocking the car doors if I forget my keys. I recommend practicing voice commands more—it can save a lot of hassle.
