GPS satellite signals to be available and operating. OnStar acts as a link to existing
emergency service providers. OnStar may collect information about you and your vehicle,
including location information. See OnStar User Terms, Privacy Statement, and Software
Terms for more details including system limitations at www.onstar.com (U.S.) or

Other information:
If equipped, Active Fuel Management allows the gasoline engine to operate on
either all of its cylinders, or a reduced number of cylinders, depending on the
driving conditions. When less power is required, such as cruising at a constant
vehicle speed, the system will enable reduced cylinder operation, allowing the vehicle
to achieve better fuel economy...
Adding non-dealer accessories or making modifications to the vehicle can affect
vehicle performance and safety, including such things as airbags, braking, stability,
ride and handling, emissions systems, aerodynamics, durability, and electronic systems
like antilock brakes, traction control, and stability control...
