1998 CADILLAC CATERA key

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Shuttle Service*
Your dealership can provide you with shuttle service to
get you to your destination with minimal interruption of
your daily schedule when your Catera is unavailable due
to a warranty repair.
Courtesy Vehicle*
For repairs that require your vehicle to be unavailable to
you for an extended period of time, your dealer may
arrange to provide you with a courtesy vehicle from the
dealership, or one obtained from a local rental agency.
Miscellaneous Service*
Should the situation necessitate making your own
arrangements, Gold Key Courtesy Transportation
provides for reimbursement of personally arranged transportation
such as cab fare, reasonable
fuel expenses
for a ride provided by another individual or a rental
vehicle obtained from
an independent source.
*Some restrictions may apply. Please consult your
Catera dealer concerning specific Gold Key Courtesy
Transportation benefits oJjcered
by the dealership.
Plan Ahead When Possible
Whenever possible, scheduling an appointment for your
vehicle’s warranty service and advising your service
consultant that you wish to take advantage of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation can help minimize your
inconvenience by allowing your dealer
to prepare
arrangements to fulfill your transportation needs in
advance of your visit.

You are responsible for primary insurance coverage of
the vehicle provided. In many cases, your own auto
insurance policy may provide this coverage under
provisions for rental car agreements. Please consult your
insurance carrier to be certain of what’s covered.
While your dealership will cover the rental expense
of
a vehicle provided under the provisions of Gold Key
Courtesy Transportation, you are responsible for
charges incurred for such items as fuel used, additional
insurance coverage and any taxes or fees levied by state
or local governmental agencies.
It is important that your vehicle be picked up from the
dealership promptly following the completion of your
repairs.
If your vehicle is not picked up from the
dealership within a reasonable amount
of time following
notification from the dealer, you may be responsible
for any additional rental charges incurred as a result
of this delay.
For Canadian Vehicles
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.
