This vehicle may be equipped with a comprehensive, in-vehicle system that can

Diagnostics Services. OnStar services may require a paid service plan and data plan.

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
