Warranty
Repairs—Component
Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, General Motors
of Canada Limited may offer
exchange service on some
vehicle components. This service
is intended to reduce the amount
of time your vehicle is not available
for use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are Service
Replacement Parts which may
be new, remanufactured,
reconditioned, or repaired,
depending on the component
involved.All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the
types of components that might
be serviced in this fashion
include: engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, batteries, and powertrain
control modules.
Maintenance and Warranty
Service Records
Retain receipts covering
performance of regular
maintenance. Receipts can
be very important if a question
arises as to whether a malfunction
is caused by lack of maintenance or
a defect in material or workmanship.A“Maintenance Record”is provided
in the maintenance schedule
section of the owner manual for
your convenience in recording
services performed.
For your records, the servicing
dealer should provide a copy of
the warranty repair order listing
all warranty repairs performed.
Warranty Repairs—Recycled
Materials
Both Environment Canada
guidelines and GM support the
capture, purification, and reuse
of automotive air conditioning

make to your vehicle may involve
the installation of purified reclaimed
refrigerant and coolant.

Maintenance Records
General Motors of Canada Limited
recommends that you retain receipts
covering performance of regular
vehicle maintenance. Repairs
required due to damage resulting
from lack of maintenance are not
covered under your warranty.
Receipts can be very important if
a question arises as to whether a
malfunction is caused by lack of
maintenance or a defect in material
or workmanship.
We suggest you keep these receipts
in the glove box literature portfolio.
Also a“Maintenance Record”form
is provided in the owner's manual
(Maintenance Schedule section)
for your convenience in recording
services performed.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can
fall upon and adhere to painted
surfaces on your vehicle.
This damage can take two
forms; blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and/or small
irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the
factory applied paint causes this,
General Motors of Canada Limited
will repair, at no charge to the
owner, the painted surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or
20 000 kilometres of purchase,
whichever comes first.
Warranty Distance Extensions
Prior to delivery, some kilometres
are put on your vehicle during
testing at the assembly plant,
during shipping and while at the
dealership. The dealership records
this odometer reading on the front
page of this warranty booklet at
delivery. For eligible vehicles, this
odometer reading is added to the
distance limits specified in the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty and the
Emission Control Systems Warranty
ensuring that you receive full benefit
of the coverage.
Warranty distance extensions
eligibility:
.Applies only to new vehicles
held exclusively in new vehicle
inventory.
.Does not apply to used vehicles,
GM owned vehicles, dealer
owned used vehicles, or dealer
demonstrator vehicles.

Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or emergency repairs should be
retained in the event questions
arise concerning maintenance.
These receipts and records
should be transferred to each
subsequent owner of this vehicle.

maintenance records. However,
GM may deny a warranty claim
if a failure to perform scheduled
maintenance resulted in the failure
of a warranted part. You should also
be aware that GM may deny you
warranty coverage if your vehicle
or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance,
or modifications not approved
by GM.Claims Procedure
Make your vehicle available to any
authorized GM dealer as soon as
possible after failing a provincial I/M
test or at any time you suspect a
defect in a part. Ifallthe above
conditions are met, GM warrants
that your dealer will replace, repair,
or adjust to GM specifications, at no
