If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to the parts repaired
or replaced to restore corrosion protection.
FOREIGN MATEML
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, and other
foreign matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain on painted
surfaces. Use cleaners that are marked safe
for painted surfaces for these
stains.
FINISH DA2MAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
UNDERBODYMMNTENNrE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur
on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.

When you call the Roadside Operation Center, the advisor will determine if
your car can be repaired at roadside within a reasonable period of time
(approximately 45 minutes). If your car can't be repaired within that time or
requires the resources
of a Cadillac dealership service facility, the advisor
will arrange tow service for you. Towing may also be necessary after
the
technician has attempted a repair, but determines that your car cannot be
repaired at roadside.
If arrangements for towing are made by an advisor from
the Cadillac
Roadside Operations Center,
it is for the convenience of the owner and
Cadillac is not responsible for the tow company. During the first

ment. Beyond this period, if the repair is covered under the applicable
General Motors
New Car Limited Warranty, the towing expense will be
eligible
for reimbursement by the servicing Cadillac dealership.
