Winter in Canada can be pretty harsh. Conditions can become difficult and unpredictable, and the risks of getting stuck in the city or in a remote area are more common. That’s why it’s good to have someone watching over you to get you home safe. The OnStar is a suite of advanced safety and connectivity features can make winter driving easier, safer and more convenient. 

Here are some of the most useful OnStar features for winter.

The OnStar system is more connected than ever

With OnStar, you can start your vehicle remotely using the myChevrolet, myBuick, myGMC and myCadillac mobile app. This allows you to warm up your vehicle before you even step outside, so you can get into a warm and comfortable vehicle on a cold winter day.

In the unfortunate event that your GM vehicle goes missing, OnStar will work with local law enforcement to track down your vehicle. 

OnStar’s remote diagnostics system can alert you to potential issues with your vehicle, such as low tire pressure, and help you schedule a service appointment to fix them. This can be especially important during the winter months when poor road conditions can cause more wear and tear on your vehicle.

The system also offers turn-by-turn navigation that can help you avoid closed roads, construction and other potential hazards on your route. This can be especially useful during the winter months when weather conditions can make it difficult to see and navigate.

With real-time weather alerts, including warnings of approaching storms, you can plan your trip accordingly and avoid dangerous driving conditions.

OnStar is there for you in case of emergency

OnStar offers a variety of roadside assistance services, including towing, lockout protection, and fuel delivery. This can be especially useful during the winter months when you may be more likely to get stuck and in need of assistance.

In the event of a collision, OnStar automatically sends emergency services to your location. This can be especially important during the winter when temperatures are below freezing.

All of these features work together to make winter driving easier and more convenient. Whether you’re stuck in a snowbank, need help getting your vehicle started on a cold morning, or simply want to avoid dangerous driving conditions, OnStar has you covered.
