Stolen Vehicle Slowdown Notification
OnStar1 takes responsibility for driver safety and well being very seriously and OnStar is always looking for ways to innovate and bring additional enhancements to you.
Starting with selected 2009 GM models, OnStar equipped vehicles will have an enhancement to Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance called Stolen Vehicle Slowdown2. This new capability enables, in most cases, OnStar to slow down a stolen vehicle remotely to assist authorities in recovery and avoid high speed pursuit. Although this new capability has been applauded by many in the law enforcement community, it can be disabled if you so desire. If you don't want Stolen Vehicle Slowdown capability on your vehicles, each driver must contact OnStar by pressing the blue button in their vehicle and request that this capability be disabled. If you choose to disable this capability, it will not be available under any circumstances and can only be re-enabled at an authorized dealership at your expense. If you have any questions regarding OnStar Stolen Vehicle Slowdown capability, please contact Jim Walenczak (OnStar Fleet Sales Manager) at jim.walenczak@onstar.com, or 313-667-0902. 1OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. Subscription Service Agreement required. Call 1.888.4.ONSTAR (1.888.466.7827) or visit onstar.com for OnStar's Terms and Conditions, Privacy Statement and details and system limitations. OnStar offers service only through equipment that operates on the digital network. 2Ability to locate stolen vehicles varies with conditions. |
