Telematics Control Head - OnStar controls

The Telematics Control Head is integrated with the front interior light module. The control head contains three separate buttons as well as a system status indicator light (LED).

The OnStar ("On ") button is used to contact the OnStar call center to request various convenience services. It is also used to initialize/activate the owner's subscription to OnStar services and/or update the customer's account in the event that the Telephone/Telematics Control Module requires replacement.

The Emergency button is used to contact the OnStar call center to request emergency services such as fire department, police etc.

The Communication ("DOT") button is used to end a call to the OnStar call center, place or answer personal calls (in conjunction with the optional digital cellular telephone), or cancel a call if one of the other buttons is accidentally pressed.

NOTE: Use of certain OnStar services requires a subscriber's Personal Identification Number(s) (PIN).
