Using the GMC Mobile App

Using the GMC app is easy. Below are some of the key features you’ll be interacting with.

Home Screen

If you’re logged in to the app, the home screen will give you an overview of your vehicle status. You will see key details, such as fuel levels, tire pressure, and battery life, as well as your recent trips and driving history. The dashboard also provides quick access to remote control features and vehicle service alerts.

Remote Commands

Open the “Remote Commands” section within the app. From there, you can choose to lock, unlock, or start your car. When you confirm a command, the app will process your request and update the status. To start your vehicle remotely, go to the “Remote Start” section in the app and press “Start.” The engine will run for a preset amount of time before shutting off automatically. This feature ensures that your car is ready to go and maintains a comfortable temperature for you throughout the year.

Monitoring Vehicle Status

The app provides real-time updates on the condition and health of your vehicle. You can check your car’s fuel levels, battery charge (for EVs), and tire pressure. You’ll also receive alerts on the vehicle’s diagnostic health, including maintenance reminders and service notifications.

EV Features

If you own a GMC EV, you can track the battery charge through the app and even schedule your vehicle to charge at specific times. The app is another handy way to find nearby charging stations on the go.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you have issues connecting to the app, ensure you have a stable internet connection. Sometimes, updating the app or restarting your phone can fix these problems. But if that doesn’t help, there are additional troubleshooting tips that might come in handy.

What To Do if Your Vehicle Is Missing From the App

If you can’t see your vehicle in the app, double-check that you’ve entered your VIN and authentication details correctly. You can refresh the vehicle list or restart the app. If the issue persists, you may need to contact GMC support or visit our team at Steve Austin’s Auto Group for help.

Slow or Crashing App

If the app is running slowly or crashing, try clearing the app cache. Check the App Store or Play Store for updates and make sure your app is up to date. If these steps don’t work, try deleting and reinstalling the app.
