STEP THREE:Both General Motors and your dealer
are committed to making sure you are completely
satis®ed with your new vehicle. However, if you continue

rights you may have. Canadian owners refer to

booklet for information on the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).

®ling a court action, use of the program is free of
charge and your case will generally be heard within
40 days. If you do not agree with the decision given in
your case, you may reject it and proceed with any other
venue for relief available to you.You may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone
number or write them at the following address:
