One of your Cadillac Owner Privileges is Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation. It's one more example of
Cadillac's commitment to provide the services you
expect and deserve as a Cadillac owner.
Gold Key Courtesy Transportation helps you get where
you need to be when your Cadillac is in the dealership
for warranty service.*
Courtesy Vehicle
Gold Key Courtesy Transportation provides you with
transportation if your car requires warranty repairs.
Your dealer will provide you with a courtesy vehicle if
one is available.
7-7
Shuttle Service
Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day, but
there is no reason for you to wait around. Cadillac helps
eliminate inconvenience to you with transportation
alternatives.
Gold Key Courtesy Transportation provides shuttle service for same day warranty work. Your Cadillac
dealer can get you where you need to be with minimal
interruption of your daily schedule."
In Canada, for warranty repairs during
the Complete
Vehicle Coverage period in the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, interim transportation may be available under
the Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult
your dealer for details.
Miscellaneous Service
Gold Key Courtesy Transportation also provides various
reimbursements for overnight repairs, such as
transportation obtained independently, cab fare or
reasonable fuel expenses for a ride provided by another
individual."
*Please ask about specific Gold Key Courtesy
Transportation benefits oflered by your Cadillac dealer,

Whenever possible, schedule an appointment for your
vehicle's warranty work. Your Cadillac dealer can then
prepare to meet your alternative transportation needs
and minimize inconveniences typically associated with
warranty repairs.
Owner Responsibilities
There are only two things which you will be responsible for
during the use of your courtesy vehicle.
You are required to
provide insurance coverage and replenish the fuel used.
In many cases your own auto insurance policy may
provide primary coverage for the courtesy vehicle,
similar to rental car agreements. Please, check
with your
insurance company to be certain what's covered.
This service is provided
to you under the terms of the New
Vehicle Warranty, therefore, it is imperative that your
vehicle be picked up from the dealership at the completion
of the warranty service. Vehicles not picked up in a timely
fashion may incur rental fees charged to the customer.
Some state insurance regulations make
it impractical to
rent vehicles to people under
21 years of age. If you are
under
21 and have difficulty renting a vehicle, Cadillac
will reimburse you up to $30/day, for any documented
transportation
you receive. Please consult your dealer
for details.

Service manuals contain diagnostic and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be useful for owners who wish to get a greater
understanding
of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners with the appropriate skill level or training who
wish to perform “do-it-yourself’ service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent to all General Motors dealerships.
GM monitors
product performance in the field. When service methods
are found which promote better service on
GM vehicles,
bulletins are created to help the technician perform
better service. Service bulletins may involve any
number
of vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive service; others will describe
expensive service. Some
will advise
of new or unexpected conditions, and others
may help avoid future costly repairs. Service bulletins
are meant for qualified technicians. In some cases
bulletins refer to service manuals, specialized tools,
equipment and safety procedures necessary
to service
the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout
the model year and beyond, an index is required and
published quarterly to help identify specific bulletins.
Subscriptions are available. You can order an index at
the toll-free numbers listed previously, or ask a
GM
dealer to see an index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners with general
operation and maintenance information.
