Cool down your car before you reach it, or pick your car out of a crowded lot
You friend, have the power!
Take control into your hands, you can now power your vehicle using an app and it’s so simple.
How it works: Start and stop your car, cool it down on a toasty morning, lock and unlock the vehicle, sound the horn, or flash those lights. Talk about convenience!
Stuck on the side of the road? This app sends help!
Here comes the superhero of the hour! Because being stuck roadside is the ultimate party… said no one ever. But fear not! Having your trusty tech sidekick along for the ride turns that roadside saga into a joyride.
Flat tire? Need a tow? Battery needs a jump? No fuel? There are so many reasons you might need roadside help and one click on the OnStar app gets you access to immediate Roadside Assistance* – This is a DREAM, people!
Use the app to check tire pressure… ‘cus you never learned how
Yes, I know how to drive, and no, I still don’t know how to check my tire pressure. But thankfully we’re living in 2023 and tech is on our side. If I want the low-down on your car status you can check OnStar. The app has a brief on your entire vehicle status, from oil life to tire pressure, and it even knows how much fuel you’ve got!
And if you think that’s impressive, this app is about to become your ride-or-die. OnStar even gives you a heads-up if your vehicle needs an oil change or is due for another service, and lets you schedule the appointment with your preferred Dealer without ever having to make a call. I meannnn……!
A feature that means you’ll never lose your car in Dubai Mall again…
We’ve ALL been in that situation. One day you forget to snap a pic of where you parked, and then you’re stuck with, like, a bajillion floors to go search through, never mind if you have kids or multiple shopping bags in tow.
No more! Sign up for the Remote Access or Unlimited Access Plan* and you can use Vehicle Locate* to pinpoint your vehicle’s approximate location on a map with the touch of a button.
It all happens on one single app
You’ve got the power at your fingertips with a nifty app that’s promising a new chapter for drivers. Remote commands? Check! Check your vehicle status? Check! Remote start/stop function – Check!
