16 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Warranty Repairs—
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, General Motors of
Canada Limited may offer exchange
service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet GM
approved service parts
requirements and are made from
previously used components in a
process that involves disassembly,
inspection, cleaning, update of
software and replacement parts as
appropriate, testing and reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged.All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the types
of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, batteries and powertrain
control modules.
Maintenance and Warranty
Service Records
Retain receipts covering
performance of regular
maintenance. Repairs required, due
to damage resulting from lack of
maintenance, are not covered under
your warranty. Receipts can be very
important if a question arises as to
whether a malfunction is caused by
lack of maintenance or a defect in
material or workmanship.A“Maintenance Record”is provided
in the maintenance schedule
section of the owner manual, for
your convenience in recording
services performed.
For your records, the servicing
dealer should provide a copy of the
warranty repair order listing all
warranty repairs performed.
Warranty Repairs—Recycled
Materials
Both Environment Canada
guidelines and GM support the
capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air conditioning
refrigerant gases and engine
coolant.
As a result, any repairs GM may
make to your vehicle may involve
the installation of purified reclaimed
refrigerant and coolant.
Tire Service
Any General Motors dealer handling
your vehicle line or tire dealer for
your brand of tires can assist you

Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty 17
with tire service. If, after contacting
one of these dealers, you need
further assistance or you have
questions, contact the Customer
Care Centre. The toll-free telephone
numbers are listed underCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 33.
After-manufacture
“Rustproofing”
Your vehicle was designed and built
to resist corrosion. Application of
additional rust-inhibiting materials is
neither necessary nor required
under the Sheet Metal Coverage.
GM makes no recommendations
concerning the usefulness or value
of such products.
Application of after-manufacture
rustproofing products may create an
environment which reduces the
corrosion resistance built into your
vehicle. Repairs to correct damage
caused by such applications are not
covered under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Paint, Trim, and Appearance
Items
Defects in paint, trim, upholstery,
or other appearance items are
normally corrected during new
vehicle preparation. If you find any
paint or appearance concerns,
advise your dealer as soon as
possible. Your owner manual has
instructions regarding the care of
these items.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you
have made in your new Cadillac, we
know you will want to operate and
maintain it properly. We urge you to
follow the maintenance instructions
in your owner manual.
If you have any questions on how to
keep your Cadillac in good working
condition, see your Cadillac dealer,
the place many Cadillac customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
Cadillac dealer to use proper parts
and repair practices.
Maintenance Records
General Motors of Canada Limited
recommends that you retain receipts
covering performance of regular
vehicle maintenance. Repairs
required due to damage resulting
from lack of maintenance are not
covered under your warranty.
Receipts can be very important if a
question arises as to whether a
malfunction is caused by lack of
maintenance or a defect in material
or workmanship.
We suggest you keep these receipts
in the glove box literature portfolio.
Also, a Maintenance Record form is
provided in the owner manual
(Maintenance Schedule section) for
your convenience in recording
services performed.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout commonly known as“acid
rain”. These airborne pollutants can
fall upon and attack painted
