Enrollment for this special three-month OnStar subscription must be completed by January 31, 2005. A $19.95 OnStar activation fee and valid credit card are required. The activation fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, but will be waived if the customer purchases a one-year OnStar subscription.
Eligible GM Certified Used Vehicle purchasers can enroll for this promotion by pressing the blue OnStar button or by calling 1-888-4ONSTAR.
"With OnStar's safety, security and information services, GM Certified Used Vehicles customers receive even more value and greater peace of mind with their purchase of a high-quality used vehicle from GM," said Jeff Heichel, Director, GM Used Vehicle Activities. "I think OnStar clearly differentiates GM Certified Used Vehicles within the highly competitive used vehicle market."
OnStar's automatic airbag deployment notification system is a key component to GM's leadership commitment to providing safety protection before, during and after a collision. If an airbag deploys, OnStar-equipped vehicles will send a signal to an OnStar Advisor, who contacts the vehicle's occupants to see if assistance is needed. If there is no response, the OnStar Advisor contacts a nearby emergency services provider to request emergency assistance. OnStar subscribers also can press the red OnStar emergency button any time emergency assistance is needed. Other OnStar services include locating stolen vehicles, remotely unlocking doors, and arranging for roadside assistance.
