one of these dealers, you need

questions, contact the Customer
Care Centre. The toll-free telephone
numbers are listed underCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 33.
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.
GM 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 any
paint 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 new 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 any questions on how to
keep your Cadillac in good working
condition, see your Cadillac dealer,
the place many Cadillac customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
Cadillac dealer to use proper parts
and repair practices.
Maintenance Records
General Motors of Canada Limited
recommends that you retain receipts
covering performance of regular
vehicle maintenance. Repairs
required due to damage resulting
from lack of maintenance are not
covered under your warranty.
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.
We suggest you keep these receipts
in the glove box literature portfolio.
Also, a Maintenance Record form is
provided in the owner manual
(Maintenance Schedule section) for
your convenience in recording
services performed.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout commonly known as“acid
rain”. These airborne pollutants can
fall upon and attack painted

surfaces on your vehicle. This
damage can take two forms:
blotchy, ringlet-shape discolorations,
and small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surfaces.
Although no defect in the factory
applied paint causes this, General
Motors of Canada Limited will repair,
at no charge to the owner, the
painted surfaces of new vehicles
damaged by this fallout condition
within 12 months or
20 000 kilometres of purchase,
whichever comes first.
Warranty Distance Extensions
Prior to delivery, some kilometres
are put on your vehicle during
testing at the assembly plant, during
shipping, and while at the
dealership. The dealership records
this odometer reading on the front
page of this warranty booklet at
delivery. For eligible vehicles, this
odometer reading is added to the
distance limits specified in the
Cadillac New Vehicle LimitedWarranty and the Emission Control
Systems Warranty ensuring that you
receive full benefit of their coverage.

Warranty Service—Canada

the proper tools, training and parts
inventory to ensure that any

training requirements, contact the
Customer Assistance Offices on
