to You
We are committed to ensuring your
satisfaction with your new General
Motors vehicle.

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 35.

Procedure on page 35, for

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 GeneralMotors. It can be the most valuable
option you choose for your vehicle.
See your GM Dealer for prices,
vehicle eligibility guidelines and
more details.

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

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.

Propulsion Battery Warranty
Policy
Like all batteries, the amount of
energy that the high voltage
“propulsion”battery can store will
decrease with time and miles
driven. Depending on use, the
battery may degrade as little as
10% to as much as 30% of capacity
over the warranty period. A dealer
service technician will determine if
the battery energy capacity (kWh
storage) is within the proper limit,
given the age and mileage of the
vehicle. Typical tests can take up to
24 hours.
Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned to
the vehicle.
