Propulsion Battery Warranty
Policy
Like all batteries, the amount of
energy that the high voltage
“propulsion”battery can store will
decrease with time and miles
driven. Depending on use, the
battery may degrade as little as
10% to as much as 30% of capacity
over the warranty period. A dealer
service technician will determine
if the battery energy capacity (kWh
storage) is within the proper limit,
given the age and mileage of the
vehicle. Typical tests can take up to
24 hours.
Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned to
the vehicle.Replace (If Necessary)
Under warranty, the high voltage
battery may be replaced with either
a new or factory reconditioned high
voltage battery with an energy
capacity (kWh storage) level at or
above that of the original battery
prior to the failure.
Your Volt battery warranty
replacement may not return your
vehicle to an“as new”condition,
but it will make your Volt fully
operational appropriate to its age
and mileage.

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 that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet
GM approved service parts
requirements and are made from
previously used components in a
process that involves disassembly,
inspection, cleaning, update of
software and replacement parts
as appropriate, testing and
reassembly.Refurbished parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged.
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

guidelines and GM support the
capture, purification, and reuse
of automotive air conditioning
refrigerant gases and engine

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

Tire Service
Any General Motors dealer handling
your vehicle line or tire dealer for
your brand of tires can assist you
with tire service. If, after contacting
one of these dealers, you need
further assistance or you have
questions, contact the Customer
Care Centre. The toll-free telephone
numbers are listed underCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 38.
After-Manufacture
“Rustproofing”
Your vehicle was designed and built
to resist corrosion. Application of
additional rust-inhibiting materials is
neither necessary nor required
under the Sheet Metal Coverage.
GM makes no recommendations
concerning the usefulness or value
of such products.Application of after-manufacture
rustproofing products may create an
environment which reduces the
corrosion resistance built into your
vehicle. Repairs to correct damage
caused by such applications are not
covered under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Paint, Trim and Appearance
Items
Defects in paint, trim, upholstery,
or other appearance items are
normally corrected during new
vehicle preparation. If you find any
paint or appearance concerns,
advise your dealers as soon as
possible. Your owner manual has
instructions regarding the care of
these items.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you
have made in your new vehicle, we
know you will want to operate and
maintain it properly. We urge you to
follow the maintenance instructions
in your owner's manual.
If you have any questions on how to
keep your vehicle in good working
condition, see your General Motors
dealer, the place many customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
dealer to use proper parts and
repair practices.

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.

.Applies only to new vehicles
held exclusively in new vehicle
inventory.

Warranty Service—Canada
The selling dealer has invested
in the proper tools, training and
parts inventory to ensure that any
necessary warranty repairs can be
made to your vehicle. GM requests
that the vehicle be returned to
the selling dealer for all warranty
repairs. If a situation or event
occurs where you are significantly
inconvenienced, an authorized GM
dealer can make the warranty

dealer is not able to perform the
repair due to the special tool and
training requirements, contact the
Customer Assistance Offices on

as driver's license, or vehicle
ownership. For your records, the

Customer Care Centre (CCC)
for guidance. SeeCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 38

of circumstances, the original repair
order, proof of ownership and any

performed and parts replaced.

vehicle after it has suffered such
extensive collision damage in an

deemed to be written-off, even if the
rebuilt vehicle uses undamaged
parts and components from the

not warranty non-GM parts,
calibrations, and/or software
modifications.The use of parts,
control module calibrations,
software modifications, and/or any
other alterations not issued through
General Motors will void the
warranty coverage for those
components that are damaged or
otherwise affected by the installation
of the non-GM part, control module
calibration, software modifications,
and/or other alteration.

parts labeled“Certified to EPA
