Siri Eyes Free

Chevrolet is the first vehicle manufacturer to offer Siri Eyes Free to compatible iPhone® users. Siri lets you take charge with your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. The system allows limited hands-free interaction for when you need to compose important messages on the go. That way, driving your Chevrolet vehicle can be your main focus.

Press the blue OnStar button and you’ll be connected with a friendly advisor in seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Let them know where you’re going and they will find the best route for you to take. The OnStar Advisor will send the turn-by-turn directions straight to your color touch-screen. And if you take a wrong turn or choose a different route, the directions will automatically update and find a new path to your destination. You can experience everything OnStar has to offer through your free six-month trial.

SiriusXM Travel Link

Make smarter decisions when you use SiriusXM Travel Link with your Chevrolet MyLink Radio. Get real-time updates on fuel prices at nearby gas stations and stay one step ahead of the weather with up-to-the-minute reports. You can even check on movie times in the area.

With Text Message Alerts, keeping in touch on the go is now safer and more seamlessly integrated with every drive.
