Delphi to Provide Telematics Unit for 2003MY Subaru Outback H6-3.0

    TROY, Mich., Aug. 9 Delphi Automotive Systems
will provide telematics modules for 2003MY Subaru Outback H6-3.0 models sold
in the United States, company officials announced today.
    
    Details on the multi-year contract remain confidential at the customer's
request.

    Delphi will provide Subaru with its OnStar-compatible telematics module
that integrates a global positioning satellite receiver, cell phone and
digital signal processor.  Subaru previously announced an agreement to offer
OnStar in-vehicle safety, security and information services to Subaru
customers beginning with the 2003 Outback.  OnStar will be featured as
standard equipment on all 2003MY Subaru Outback H6-3.0 sedan and wagon models.
Delphi's telematics modules provide two-way voice and data communications
exchanges between the vehicle and the OnStar call center.  The module enables
the driver to communicate with the call center using hands free operation.

    The OnStar system provides these services:

    *  automatic theft notification -- In the event a vehicle is stolen, a
silent signal is sent to the OnStar call center, and an advisor can track the
vehicle after contacting the appropriate authorities.

    *  diagnostic mode -- If the driver experiences a vehicle problem such as
a check-engine light, an OnStar advisor can remotely diagnose the severity of
the problem and make a recommendation.

    *  lock/unlock vehicle -- If the keys are locked in the vehicle or if the
car is unlocked, a driver can call the OnStar center, and, after identifying
himself with a PIN, the OnStar advisor can remotely lock or unlock the
vehicle.

    *  vehicle crash notification (automatic) -- When the front airbags
deploy, the vehicle will automatically call the OnStar center.  An advisor
will open a voice channel to the vehicle, and
 if needed, dispatch emergency services to the location.

    *  emergency services -- During an in-vehicle emergency, the driver can
press the OnStar emergency button to contact the call center.

    *  roadside assistance -- In the event of a flat tire, empty gas tank or
other roadside emergency, OnStar can contact a nearby provider to get drivers
back on the road quickly.

    *  OnStar concierge -- OnStar can help drivers obtain hard-to-get tickets
to events, order flowers, even plan a vacation.

    Delphi's telematics systems can be tailored to meet the specific design
requirements of any number of vehicle manufacturers.

    Market studies indicate that 90 percent of all luxury vehicles will have
telematics capability by mid-decade, emphasizing the importance of this
rapidly growing market.
