Will not renewing OnStar affect the car?
1 Answers
Not renewing OnStar will affect the car. The impact of not renewing OnStar is that the owner cannot enjoy some services, such as navigation, manual unlocking, and other practical functions. The following are the functions of OnStar: Automatic Crash Response: When the built-in collision sensors in the vehicle detect a collision or airbag deployment, an alert is automatically sent to the command center. A professional advisor will then contact the vehicle via voice. If there is no response from the vehicle, the advisor will use GPS to locate the vehicle and notify rescue services, helping rescuers find the vehicle as quickly as possible to save valuable time. Additionally, OnStar can provide a crash report based on data collected during the collision, including the vehicle's speed at the time of impact, whether the airbags deployed, the location of the impact, whether the vehicle rolled over, etc. This helps rescuers assess the potential injuries of the occupants and expedite rescue efforts. It also aids relevant authorities in analyzing the cause of the accident, similar to an aircraft's "black box." Automatic Airbag Deployment Assistance: When the airbags deploy, OnStar receives the signal and contacts the owner. Good Samaritan Assistance: If you witness a traffic accident or an injured pedestrian, you can press a button to request OnStar assistance. Similarly, if the owner encounters a traffic accident or injured individuals while driving, they can press a button to request OnStar's help. Roadside Assistance: In case of sudden illness or emergency, the owner can press the red button, and the command center will use GPS to locate the vehicle and provide timely assistance. Stolen Vehicle Tracking: The OnStar system includes a stolen vehicle tracking feature. If the owner reports the vehicle as stolen to the command center, OnStar can use GPS to locate the stolen vehicle and assist the police in recovering it.
