OnStar is reminding drivers just how easy it is to stay
safely connected while on the road with its Push On sweepstakes. In a
national campaign that launches today, 10 people will win a new
OnStar-equipped Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicle of their
choice.
Anyone with a digital OnStar-equipped vehicle — regardless of whether
they are a current OnStar subscriber — can enter to win by pressing
the blue OnStar button in their vehicle now through May 31.*
“More than 6 million customers currently take advantage of OnStar’s
advanced technology while they’re on the road,” said Terry Inch,
director of subscriber services. “Yet there are many more drivers out
there who may not realize all the award-winning services OnStar
offers, like having access to a live advisor at the push of a button
or getting monthly emails with key information specific to their
vehicle that can help them save money.”
From a Corvette ZR1 to a Buick Regal or anything in between,
sweepstakes winners can select any Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac
vehicle with any combination of factory-installed options. The only
exception is the limited-production Chevrolet Volt electric car with
extended-range capability.
OnStar is perhaps best known for its Automatic Crash Response feature
which, in the event of a collision, uses sensors built into the
vehicle to automatically alert an OnStar Advisor. The advisor can then
immediately connect into the vehicle to see if help is needed. Even if
the occupant is hurt and can’t respond, the advisor knows the
vehicle’s exact location through GPS technology and can direct
emergency responders to the scene.
Over the past 15 years, OnStar Advisors have answered 346 million
button pushes, responded to more than 160,000 vehicle crashes,
unlocked more than 5 million doors remotely, provided 2.6 million
subscribers with roadside assistance and routed customers’ turn by
turn to their destination more than 70 million times.
“The ‘Push On’ sweepstakes is our way to remind drivers with OnStar in
their vehicles, just how powerful the system is, yet so easy to use,”
said Sam Mancuso, OnStar chief marketing officer. “Just push a button
and you’re connected.”
