3 Things You May Not Know About Chevy OnStar®

OnStar

Chevy OnStar® is designed to help protect you and your passengers when you’re on the open road. It gives you remote support, coverage, and access at critical times, and we’re proud to offer it in the models available here at Scott Chevrolet. But what’s covered by OnStar? We’re sharing essential features of this popular subscription service. 

You’re Protected in an Emergency

OnStar is best known for its emergency service capability, and for good reason. In the event something happens to your vehicle or your passengers, it’s imperative to be able to call for backup and care.

But did you know that OnStar can put you in touch with your family members, too? If you know they’re worried, or if you want to hear a loved one’s voice after an accident, this program has your back.

The Emergency Doesn’t Need to Involve Your Car

We often think that OnStar is coverage just for the vehicle and the passengers inside, but it’s so much more than that. If you notice an accident or trouble outside your window, OnStar can help with that, too. Simply send an alert from your vehicle or the OnStar Guardian™ app, and expert operators will help you through the next steps.

It Has Roadside Assistance

Many insurance programs offer roadside assistance, but if you have Chevy OnStar, you have an added layer of protection. Operators will connect you to comprehensive roadside assistance so you can get the care you need where and when you need it.

EV Charging

Protecting Your EV Battery in Cold Weather

At Scott Chevrolet, we know that a Pennsylvania winter doesn’t pull any punches. Cold weather affects all types of vehicles, from gasoline cars to hybrids, but electric cars like the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV require particular attention because of their high-capacity batteries. Take these precautions to keep your EV running at the top of its game all winter long. Protect Your Charger You should park your EV in a covered location like a garage if you can. However, if you have to park outside, you’ll want to protect both your battery and your charging cable. These cables are designed to be waterproof, but they can be damaged by snow, ice, or sleet, so consider investing in a charger cover to avoid damage. Precondition Your Cabin When it’s cold outside, your EV will need a little time to warm up, just like a traditional engine. To avoid draining the battery, you can use the cabin preconditioning functionality of the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV, which lets you warm your car up with power from the charging cable. If you leave your car to charge overnight, you can use this feature in the morning to warm up your cabin and still enjoy a full charge. Storing Your Car If you’re going to be leaving your 2025 Chevy Equinox EV in a garage for a while this winter, protect your battery in advance. Set the charging limit to 50 percent and leave your car plugged in. This should keep both your high-capacity EV battery and traditional 12-volt battery charged, even if the temperature drops, but you can also add a trickle charger to make sure. Test-Drive the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV in Allentown, PA With an engaging drive and up to 319 miles of range, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV is a great way to take the plunge into electric driving at Scott Chevrolet.
