Dubai, UAE – 16 July 2025 — As temperatures across the region this summer continue to hike above a sweltering 45°C, with a potential to cross 50°C, commutes are becoming increasingly uncomfortable by the day. With OnStar’s technology seamlessly integrated into Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac vehicles, the driving experience is enhanced this summer from good, to better, adding convenience and peace-of-mind to drivers with features such as Climate Control¹, Remote Start, Extend Timer, and helpful Advisors designed to help beat the heat.

OnStar is committed to elevating the future of driving by integrating advanced technology directly into General Motors vehicles, providing drivers with a seamless connection to their vehicle and the world around them. At its core, OnStar delivers a smart, intuitive, and safe driving experience, redefining what it means to be safe, informed and in control on the road. Built around the promise of seamless connectivity, intelligent innovation, and real-time safety.

Better Safety

Driving in extreme temperatures is not only uncomfortable, but it can also be dangerous. High cabin temperatures can lead to driver fatigue, dehydration, and reduced concentration, all of which increase the risk of accidents. Accessing the myChevrolet, myGMC and myCadillac² mobile apps, enabled by OnStar, allows drivers to remotely cool their vehicles before stepping inside. This proactive approach helps ensure that drivers enter a cooler cabin, one that supports alertness and focus, especially during longer commutes or peak traffic congestion.

Particularly in scorching summers, it’s crucial to conduct vehicle check-ups, to confirm cars are in good health to withstand the higher temperatures. OnStar Advisors are on-hand to help 24/7, available at the push of a button, offering vehicle diagnostics and advanced updates on vehicle health. A healthy vehicle means safe drivers, stress-free summer and Advisor support is only a button push away.

Better Convenience

Cool down your car on hot days or stay connected with built-in Wi-Fi³. Keeping users connected to real-time traffic updates, helps drivers beat the rush and get home hassle free. Pre-conditioning the vehicle’s interior temperature with just a few taps, eliminates waiting for the A/C to kick in, giving you more time back in the day. Lazy summer days are made easier with OnStar, as Remote Start allows drivers to start their vehicle simply from the app or through the key fob. Craving more time on the beach? Extend Timer⁴ offers an extra fifteen minutes to get to your vehicle for the ultimate peace-of-mind and maximum leisure time. OnStar is the ultimate driving companion, seamlessly integrating technology to transform the driving experience, ensuring drivers beat the heat this summer.
