OnStar Advisors are available 24/7 to provide turn-by-turn navigation with real-time traffic updates or help locate nearby gas stations, restaurants, or ATMs. OnStar can even remotely unlock your doors if you are locked out and send a signal to help you find your car in a crowded parking lot.

OnStar offers a variety of plans, including options with Stolen Vehicle Assistance, which can track your car in real-time if it’s stolen and help law enforcement recover it.

Unlocking the power of OnStar in your Chevy is a simple two-pronged approach: the blue OnStar button and the myChevrolet app. For immediate assistance on the go, press the easily identifiable blue button on your overhead console. A dedicated OnStar advisor will answer your questions, big or small. Need help after an accident? A single press can connect you directly to emergency responders, even if you cannot speak.
