Important Message to Owners... 1
General Motors' Commitment
to You
We are committed to ensuring
your satisfaction with your new
General Motors vehicle.
Your General Motors dealer also
wants you to be completely satisfied
and invites you to return for all your
service needs, both during and after
the warranty period.
Owner Assistance
Should you ever encounter a
problem during or after the warranty
periods that is not resolved, talk to
a member of dealer management.
Under certain circumstances, GM
and/or GM dealers may provide
assistance after the limited warranty
period has expired when the
problem results from a defect in
material or workmanship. These
instances will be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. If the problem
persists, follow the procedures
outlined underCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 38.
The General Motors
Protection Plan
Many owners seek to enhance their
vehicle ownership by purchasing
an optional service contract.
General Motors offers its own GM
Protection Plan (GMPP), a service
contract which provides mechanical
repair protection, a rental/alternate
transportation allowance, and
the availability of GM Roadside
Assistance or a towing and road
service allowance. The GM
Protection Plan is available in
different levels of coverage, each
offering a variety of time/kilometre
options to suit your driving needs.
The GM Protection Plan is the only
optional service contract backed
by the worldwide resources of
General Motors. It can be the most
valuable option you choose for your
vehicle. See your GM Dealer for
prices, vehicle eligibility guidelines
and more details.
Owner Name/Address Change
General Motors encourages all
owners to report, at their earliest
convenience, a change in
name or address by calling our
Customer Care Centre toll free
at 1-800-263-3777 (English) or
1-800-263-7854 (French). If you
are a subsequent owner, please
be sure to advise us by calling the
number above. You may also visit
the General Motors dealer of your
choice to report a change in vehicle
ownership. The current owner name
and address is essential for General
Motors to provide timely notification
to owners of important information
related to their vehicles.
We thank you for choosing a
General Motors product.
