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
their manufacturer 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

Emission Warranty Parts List 29
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 retailprice for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Cadillac's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labor rate. A part not being available
within 10 days or a repair not being
completed within 30 days
constitutes a significant
inconvenience. Retain receipts and
failed parts in order to receive
compensation for warranty repairs
reimbursable due to these
situations.
If you are in a situation where you
are significantly inconvenienced and
it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than a Cadillac
dealer and you believe the repairs
are covered by emission warranties,
take the replaced parts and your
receipt to a Cadillac dealer for
reimbursement consideration. This
applies to both the Federal
Emission Defect Warranty and
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or other repairs (such as those
outlined earlier) should be retained
in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. These
receipts and records should be
transferred to each subsequent
owner. GM will not deny warranty
coverage solely on the absence of
maintenance records. However, GM
may deny a warranty claim if a
failure to perform scheduled
maintenance resulted in the failure
of a warranty part.
Claims Procedure
As with the other warranties
covered in this booklet, take your
vehicle to any authorized Cadillac
dealer facility to obtain service
under the emission warranty. This
should be done as soon as possible
after failing an EPA-approved I/M
test or a California smog check test,
or at any time you suspect a defect
in a part.

30 Emission Warranty Parts List
Those repairs qualifying under the
warranty will be performed by any
Cadillac dealer at no charge.
Repairs which do not qualify will be
charged to you. You will be notified
as to whether or not the repair
qualifies under the warranty within a
reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days after receipt of the vehicle
by the dealer, or within the time
period required by local or state law.
The only exceptions would be if you
request or agree to an extension,
or if a delay results from events
beyond the control of your dealer or
GM. If you are not so notified, GM
will provide any required repairs at
no charge.
In the event a warranty matter is not
handled to your satisfaction, see
Customer Satisfaction Procedure on

Customer Satisfaction Procedure 31
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Cadillac. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of your vehicle will be
resolved by your dealer's sales or
service departments. Sometimes,
however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has not
been resolved to your satisfaction,
the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your
concern with a member of dealer
management.Normally, concerns
can be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales, service,
or parts manager, contact the
owner of the dealer facility or the
general manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of dealer management, it
appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealer without
further help contact the Cadillac
Customer Assistance Center bycalling 1-800-458-8006. For the
Cadillac ELR Customer Assistance
Center call 1-855-422-3357
(1-855-4-CAD-ELR). In Canada,
contact GM of Canada Customer
Care Centre by calling
1-888-446-2000: English,
or 1-800-263-7854: French.
For resolution of issues related to
the Cadillac Professional Vehicle,
contact 1-800-43-FLEET
(1-800-433-5338).
We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to give
your inquiry prompt attention.
Have the following information
available to give the Customer
Assistance Representative:
.The Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). This is available
from the vehicle registration or
title, or the plate above the top of
the instrument panel on the
driver side, and visible through
the windshield.
.The dealer name and location.
.The vehicle delivery date and
present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac,
remember that your concern will
likely be resolved at a dealer's
facility. That is why we suggest you
follow Step One first if you have a
concern.
STEP THREE: Both GM and your
GM dealer are committed to making
sure you are completely satisfied
with your new vehicle. However,
if you continue to remain unsatisfied
after following the procedure
outlined in Steps One and Two, you
can file with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to
enforce any additional rights you
may have.

out of court program administered
by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus to settle automotive
disputes regarding vehicle repairs or
the interpretation of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. Although you may

State Warranty Enforcement Laws 33
Laws in many states permit owners
to obtain a replacement vehicle or a
refund of the purchase price under
certain circumstances. The
provisions of these laws vary from
state to state. To the extent allowed
by state law, GM requires that you
first provide us with written
notification of any service difficulty
you have experienced so that we
have an opportunity to make any
needed repairs before you are
eligible for the remedies provided by
these laws. The address for written
notification, is inCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 36.
