System Warranty
Federal or provincial agencies may
require different emission control
system warranties for light duty
trucks depending on whether the
truck is certified with a light duty or
heavy duty emission control system.To determine emission eligibility:
1. Determine if the vehicle has a
gasoline or diesel engine.
2. Locate the underhood emission
control label located inside the
engine compartment on the air
cleaner assembly or the engine.
3. The information on the bottom
left side of the label describes if
the vehicle has a light or heavy
duty emissions control system.
Emission Control Warranty
The Emission Control Systems
Warranty period described below
shall begin on the date the vehicle
is first delivered to the first retail
purchaser or, on the date the
vehicle is first placed in service
as a demonstrator or company
vehicle prior to sale at retail.Emission related defects in the

What Is Not Covered
The Emission Control Systems
Warranty Obligations DO NOT
APPLY TO conditions resulting
from tampering, abuse, neglect,
or improper maintenance. Items
listed under“What Is Not Covered”
underNew Vehicle Limited Warranty
on page 4also apply to the
emission related warranties.
Parts specified in the maintenance
schedule as requiring scheduled
replacement are covered up to
their first replacement interval or
the applicable emission warrantycoverage period, whichever comes
first. There is no coverage under
this warranty for the failure of
parts which are not replaced as
required in the vehicle maintenance
schedule. If failure of one of these
parts results in failure of another

36 Things to Know About the Emission Control Systems Warranty
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of
your vehicle, were designed, built
and tested using genuine GM parts†
and the vehicle is certified as being
in conformity with the Emission
Regulations under the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act.
Accordingly, it is recommended
that any replacement parts used
for maintenance or for the repair
of emission control systems be
new, genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement
parts. The owner may elect to
use non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality may impair
the effectiveness of emission
control systems.
If other than new, genuine GM
parts are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
components affecting emissioncontrol, the owner should assure
himself/herself that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer
to be equivalent to genuine
General Motors parts in
performance and durability.
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized General Motors
dealer except in an emergency
situation when a genuine GM part
or an authorized General Motors
dealer is not reasonably available
to the vehicle owner. You are
responsible for presenting your
vehicle to a GM dealer selling your
vehicle line as soon as a problem
exists.
† “GENUINE GM PARTS,”when
used in connection with GM
vehicles means parts manufactured
by or for GM, designed for use on
GM vehicles and distributed by
any division or subsidiary of
General Motors LLC.
Maintenance and Repairs
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized dealer except in a
situation where the vehicle owner is
significantly inconvenienced and a
warranted part or a warranty station
is not reasonably available to the
vehicle owner.
If in a situation where you are
significantly inconvenienced,
and it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than an
authorized General Motors
dealership, and you believe the
repairs are covered by the Emission
Control Systems Warranty, take the
replaced parts and your receipt to
your General Motors dealership
handling your vehicle line for
reimbursement consideration.
