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 dealers 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 vehicle, we
know you will want to operate and
maintain it properly. We urge you to
follow the maintenance instructions
in your owner's manual.
If you have any questions on how to
keep your vehicle in good working
condition, see your General Motors
dealer, the place many customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
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's manual
(Maintenance Schedule section) for
your convenience in recording
services performed.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and adhere to painted
surfaces on your vehicle. This

Black plate (22,1)Canadian Limited Warranty and Owner Assistance Information - 2013 - crc 1st

22 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
damage can take two forms;
blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and/or small irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the factory
applied paint causes this, General
Motors of Canada Limited will repair,
at no charge to the owner, the
painted surfaces of new vehicles
damaged by this fallout condition
within 12 months or
20 000 kilometres of purchase,
whichever comes first.
Warranty Distance Extensions
Prior to delivery, some kilometres
are put on your vehicle during
testing at the assembly plant, during
shipping and while at the
dealership. The dealership records
this odometer reading on the front
page of this warranty booklet at
delivery. For eligible vehicles, this
odometer reading is added to the
distance limits specified in the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty and theEmission Control Systems Warranty
ensuring that you receive full benefit
of the coverage.

Warranty Service—Canada
The selling dealer has invested in
the proper tools, training and parts
inventory to ensure that any
necessary warranty repairs can be
made to your vehicle. GM requests
that the vehicle be returned to the
selling dealer for all warrantyrepairs. If a situation or event occurs
where you are significantly
inconvenienced, an authorized GM
dealer can make the warranty
repairs. However, in the event the
dealer is not able to perform the
repair due to the special tool and
training requirements, contact the
Customer Assistance Offices on
page 38.

your residence, visit any General
Motors dealer handling your vehicle
line in Canada or the United States
for warranty service. Warrantable

charge to you. You may be required
to provide proof of residency such

covered by the warranty. If you find
any such defects when you take
delivery, please advise your dealer
