GETTING STARTED

2. Create an account or sign in to app using your GM account email and password (the same email address you gave your dealer when you bought the vehicle).

Note: Signing in with an account registered with an OnStar® account allows your vehicle to sync with the app and provides access to subscription-based app features.

3. If you’re a new user or you’ve updated the app, you’ll be presented with a two-factor authentication process to verify your identity. You can also enable or disable biometrics for future access.

Make sure you keep your app updated to the latest version to see what’s new. Be sure to be on the lookout for even more future updates to your mobile app.

USING THE APP’S HOME SCREEN

1. Tap the Menu icon (your initials) in the upper-left corner to access your Account information.

2. If you have more than one vehicle, tap your vehicle’s name to reach your Garage. There, you can change which vehicle you’re viewing or add a new vehicle.

4. Your vehicle status is shown as tiles on the home screen, if your plan and vehicle support them.

5. Remote command controls are found in the centre of the screen, if your plan and vehicle support them.

6. Along the bottom of the home screen, you’ll see icons to return home, access map features or more app features.

1. Tap and hold one of the remote command icons to start a request. The app will tell you to keep holding until the request is complete. It may take a few seconds.
