Service Bulletins
Saturn regularly sends its retailers useful service
bulletins about Saturn products. Saturn monitors
product performance in the eld. We then prepare
bulletins for servicing our products better. You
can get these bulletins, too.
Bulletins cover various subjects. Some pertain
to the proper use and care of your vehicle.
Some describe costly repairs. Others describe
inexpensive repairs which, if done on time with
the latest parts, may avoid future costly repairs.
Some bulletins tell a technician how to repair
a new or unexpected condition. Others describe
a quicker way to x your vehicle. They can help
a technician service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply to conditions affecting a
small number of vehicles. Your Saturn retailer
or a qualied technician may have to determine
if a specic bulletin applies to your vehicle.
To order Saturn bulletins, call Saturn
Publications at 1-800-2-SATURN or visit
www.saturn-publications.com to order online.
Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Your Saturn vehicle has a number of sophisticated
computers that record information about the
vehicle’s performance and how it is driven. For
example, your vehicle uses computer modules
to monitor and control engine and transmission
performance, to monitor the conditions for airbag
deployment and deploy airbags in a crash and, if so
equipped, to provide anti-lock braking to help the
driver control the vehicle. These modules may store
data to help your dealer/retailer technician service
your vehicle. Some modules may also store data
about how you operate the vehicle, such as rate
of fuel consumption or average speed. These
modules may also retain the owner’s personal
preferences, such as radio pre-sets, seat positions,
and temperature settings.
