By pushing OnStar's red or blue button, drivers will be put in contact with an advisor who can send emergency responders to the vehicle's exact location using OnStar's embedded cellular system and GPS technology.
The advisors can also provide alternative routes to hospitals, hotels or shelters and keep subscribers connected to family and friends. Subscribers can also report dangerous situations or road closures.
GM has relationships with more than 6,000 911 emergency call centers nationwide.
