Onstar

While modern vehicle safety and driver-assist technology is designed to help drivers through a variety of on-road situations, not every model is built to provide you with the help you need in the event of an emergency. OnStar is changing that, as its Automatic Crash Response technology and various other functions can put you in touch with the help you need if ever you’re in a crash. If you’re located in our home of Cochrane or Airdrie, Crossfield, Canmore, Bragg Creek, or Calgary, AB, find out how OnStar’s emergency response function can detect collisions and intervene accordingly.

AUTOMATIC CRASH RESPONSE TECHNOLOGY

OnStar’s Automatic Crash Response relies on your vehicle’s built-in sensors to detect when you’ve been involved in a crash and will immediately connect your car to a specially trained OnStar advisor. Even if you’re unable to explicitly ask for help, your advisor will notify emergency services without delay and provide them with your location and the odds of serious injury with Injury Severity Prediction. This reliable crash response technology is one of many functions in OnStar’s Safety & Security Plan, which also allows you to contact emergency medical dispatch with a single push of a button.

OnStar’s comprehensive plan also offers Roadside Assistance, which puts you in touch with trained advisors if ever you’re in a jam or stranded, as well as Stolen Vehicle Assistance which enhances your vehicle’s protection to make theft more difficult if anyone tries to help themselves to your car. If you’d like to see some of OnStar’s available technology up close or learn more about its Safety & Security Plan, our Cochrane GM staff will be happy to oblige on your next visit.
