And that\u2019s why we recommend all parents who drive an&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buyevscars.com\/new-cars-milwaukee-wi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OnStar equipped vehicle<\/a>&nbsp;teach their children about the OnStar features and how to access them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll also want to teach your kids when an appropriate time to use these features is, and explain to them what an emergency situation is and what it is not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[Read more:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buyevscars.com\/blog\/why-are-the-turn-signals-on-our-cars-red-or-orange\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Do turn signals have to be a certain color?<\/strong><\/a><strong>]<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>OnStar Features to Show Your Children&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if the time ever does come when you as a parent are not able to access the OnStar&nbsp;features&nbsp;yourself, your child knowing what to do can get you out of a difficult spot, and potentially even save a life if it\u2019s serious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaching Your Kids About OnStar | Buick\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i5YYlfD-nCA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, teach your kids what OnStar can do. Explain to them that the blue button on the rearview mirror can call for help if the vehicle ever dies or experiences a flat tire, or if you get lost. The button they should learn, however, is the red one. Teach your kids that if there is ever a time when you are in danger&nbsp;or hurt, and a parent is unable to press the button, that they can press the red button to call for emergency help. Explain to them&nbsp;that the red button calls 9-1-1 and that they can talk to the persona\u2019s voice who comes through the radio, as they are there to help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OnStar has some amazing features, so be sure to use them when you need them.
