Customer Information 13-11
Insuring Your Vehicle
Protect your investment in
your HUMMER vehicle with
comprehensive and collision
insurance coverage. There are
significant differences in the
quality of coverage afforded by
various insurance policy terms.
Many insurance policies provide
reduced protection to your
HUMMER vehicle by limiting
compensation for damage repairs
by using aftermarket collision parts.
Some insurance companies will not
specify aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance, we
recommend that you assure your
vehicle will be repaired with original
equipment collision parts. If such
insurance coverage is not available
from your current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.If your vehicle is leased, the leasing
company may require you to have
insurance that assures repairs
with Genuine Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer replacement
parts. Read your lease carefully, as
you may be charged at the end of
your lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help. Do not
leave the scene of a crash until all
matters have been taken care of.
Move the vehicle only if its position
puts you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a police
officer.
Give only the necessary information
to police and other parties involved
in the crash.

Roadside Service on page 13‑5.Gather the following information:
.Driver's name, address, phone
number
.Driver's license number

number
