are damaged or otherwise affected by
the installation of the non-GM part,
control module calibration, software
modification, and/or other alteration.
The only exception is that non-GM
parts labeled“Certified to EPA
Standards ”are covered by the Federal
Emissions Performance Warranty.
Recreation Vehicle and Special
Body or Equipment Alterations
Installations or alterations to the
original equipment vehicle or chassis,
as manufactured and assembled by
Cadillac, are not covered by this
warranty. The special body company,
assembler, or equipment installer is
solely responsible for warranties on
the body or equipment and any
alterations to any of the parts,
components, systems, or assemblies
installed by Cadillac. Examples
include, but are not limited to, special
body installations, such as
recreational vehicles, the installation
of any non-GM part, cutting, welding,
or the disconnecting of original
equipment vehicle or chassis parts and components, extension of the
wheelbase, suspension and driveline
modifications, and axle additions.
Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in the mechanical, electrical,
sheet metal, paint, trim, and other
components of your vehicle may
occur at the factory or while it is
being transported to the dealer
facility. Normally, any defects
occurring during assembly are
identified and corrected at the factory
during the inspection process. In
addition, dealers inspect each vehicle
before delivery. They repair any
uncorrected factory defects and any
transit damage detected before the
vehicle is delivered to you.
Any defects still present at the time
the vehicle is delivered to you are
covered by the warranty. If you find
any defects, advise your dealer
without delay. For further details
concerning any repairs which the
dealer may have made prior to you
taking delivery of your vehicle, ask
your dealer.
Production Changes
Cadillac and Cadillac dealers reserve
the right to make changes in vehicles
built and/or sold by them at any time
without incurring any obligation to
make the same or similar changes on
vehicles previously built and/or sold
by them.

require a different emission control
system warranty depending on:
. Whether the vehicle conforms to
regulations applicable to light duty
or heavy duty emission control
systems.
. Whether the vehicle conforms to
or is certified for California
regulations in addition to U.S. EPA
Federal regulations. All vehicles are eligible for Federal
Emissions Control System Warranty
Coverage. If the emissions control
label contains language stating the
vehicle conforms to California
regulations, the vehicle is also eligible
for California Emissions Control
System Warranty Coverage.

catalytic converter, vehicle/
powertrain control module,
transmission control module or
other onboard emissions
diagnostic device, including
emission-related software,
whichever comes first.
. Light Duty Truck equipped with
Heavy Duty Gasoline Engine and

Federal Emission Performance
Warranty
Some states and/or local jurisdictions
have established periodic vehicle
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)

and operated in accordance with
the instructions for proper
maintenance and use set forth in
the owner manual supplied with
your vehicle.
. The vehicle fails an EPA-approved
I/M test during the emission
warranty period. .
The failure results, or will result,
in the owner of the vehicle having
to bear a penalty or other
sanctions, including the denial of
the right to use the vehicle, under
local, state, or federal law.
GM warrants that your Cadillac dealer
will replace, repair, or adjust to
Cadillac specifications, at no charge to
you, any of the parts listed under

Parts specified in your maintenance
schedule that require scheduled
replacement are covered up to their
first replacement interval or the
applicable emission warranty coverage
period, whichever comes first.
If failure of one of these parts results
in failure of another part, both will be
covered under the Emission Control
System Warranty.
For detailed information concerning
specific parts covered by these
emission control system warranties,
ask your dealer.Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of your
vehicle were designed, built, and
tested using genuine GM parts* and
the vehicle is certified as being in
conformity with applicable federal and
California emission requirements.
Accordingly, it is recommended that
any replacement parts used for
maintenance or for the repair of
emission control systems be new,
genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement parts.
The owner may elect to use
non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of emission control
systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts
are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of parts
affecting emission control, the owner
should assure himself/herself that
such parts are warranted by theirmanufacturer to be equivalent to
genuine GM parts in performance and
durability.
*
“Genuine GM parts,” when used in
connection with GM vehicles, means
parts manufactured by or for GM,
designed for use on GM vehicles, and
distributed by any division or
subsidiary of GM.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can be
performed by any qualified service
outlet; however, warranty repairs must
be performed by an authorized dealer
except in a situation where the vehicle
owner is significantly inconvenienced
and a warranted part or a warranty
station is not reasonably available to
the vehicle owner.
In a situation where the vehicle owner
is significantly inconvenienced, and an
authorized dealer is not reasonably
available, repairs may be performed at
any available service establishment or
by the owner, using any replacement
part. Cadillac will consider
reimbursement for the expense
incurred, including diagnosis, not to
exceed the manufacturer's suggested
