OnStar offers a number of safety and security services like Automatic Crash Response and monthly OnStar Vehicle Diagnostic e-mails. OnStar’s Turn-by-Turn Navigation pairs audible directions through vehicle speakers with the support of a live OnStar advisor.
“I am very pleased that we’re going to be able to continue to provide the safety, security and peace of mind of OnStar to Saab customers,” said Chris Preuss, OnStar president.
Additionally, Saab recently announced a return to leasing with GMAC Financial Services as the preferred provider of wholesale and retail financial services for qualified Saab dealers and customers.
The leasing option was effective April 1, 2010 in the United States.
