capacity is NOT covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Depending on use, the high-voltage
battery may experience as much as
40% capacity reduction over the

manual for important tips on how to
maximize the life and capacity of the
high-voltage battery. To avoid losing
warranty coverage for the battery,
follow the guidelines for proper
battery maintenance when the
vehicle is not driven, or when the
vehicle is stored for an extended
period of time.
Hybrid Battery
Battery and Internal Components,
Modules, and Fan Repair

battery will be replaced with either a
new or factory reconditioned high
voltage battery with an energy
capacity (kWh storage) level at or
above that of the original battery
prior to the failure.

Warranty Repairs–
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, Cadillac may offer
exchange service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet
Cadillac approved service part
requirements and are made from
previously used components in a
process that involves disassembly,
inspection, cleaning, update of
software and replacement of parts
as appropriate, testing and
reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet Cadillac
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged.
All exchange components used
meet Cadillac standards and are
warranted the same as new components. Examples of the types
of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, batteries, and powertrain
control modules.
Warranty Repairs
–Recycled
Materials
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) guidelines and Cadillac
support the capture, purification,
and reuse of automotive air
conditioning refrigerant gases and
engine coolant. As a result, any
repairs Cadillac may make to your
vehicle may involve the installation
of purified reclaimed refrigerant and
coolant.
Tire Service
Any authorized Cadillac or tire
dealer for your brand of tires can
assist you with tire service. If, after
contacting one of these dealers, you
need further assistance or you have
questions, contact the Cadillac
Customer Assistance Center. The toll-free telephone numbers are
listed under
Customer Assistance
Offices 033.
Aftermarket Engine
Performance Enhancement
Products and Modifications
Some aftermarket engine
performance products and
modifications promise a way to
increase the horsepower and torque
levels of your vehicle’s powertrain.
You should be aware that these
products may have detrimental
effects on the performance and life
of the engine, exhaust emission
system, transmission, and
drivetrain. Engine power
enhancement products may enable
the engine to operate at horsepower
and torque levels that could
damage, create failure, or reduce
the life of the engine, engine
emission system, transmission, and
drivetrain. Damage, failure,
or reduced life of the engine,
transmission, emission system,
drivetrain or other vehicle
components caused by aftermarket
engine performance enhancement

14 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
products or modifications may not
be covered under your vehicle
warranty.
After-Manufacture
“Rustproofing”
Your vehicle was designed and built
to resist corrosion. Application of
additional rust-inhibiting materials is
neither necessary nor required
under the Sheet Metal Coverage.
Cadillac makes no
recommendations concerning the
usefulness or value of such
products.
Application of after-manufacture
rustproofing products may create an
environment which reduces the
corrosion resistance built into your
vehicle. Repairs to correct damage
caused by such applications are not
covered under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Paint, Trim, and Appearance
Items
Defects in paint, trim, upholstery,
or other appearance items are
normally corrected during new
vehicle preparation. If you find anypaint or appearance concerns,
advise your dealer as soon as
possible. Your owner manual has
instructions regarding the care of
these items.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you
have made in your Cadillac, we
know you will want to operate and
maintain it properly. We urge you to
follow the maintenance instructions
in your owner manual.
If you have questions on how to
keep your vehicle in good working
condition, see your Cadillac dealer,
the place many customers choose
to have their maintenance work
done. You can rely on your Cadillac
dealer to use the proper parts and
repair practices.
Maintenance and Warranty
Service Records
Retain receipts covering
performance of regular
maintenance. Receipts can be very
important if a question arises as to
whether a malfunction is caused by
lack of maintenance or a defect in
material or workmanship.
A
“Maintenance Record” is provided
in the maintenance schedule
section of the owner manual for
recording services performed.
The servicing dealer can provide a
copy of any warranty repairs for
your records.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and adhere to painted
surfaces on your vehicle. This
damage can take two forms:
blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,
and/or small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the factory
applied paint causes this, Cadillac
will repair, at no charge to the
owner, the painted surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or
12,000 miles of purchase, whichever
comes first.
