drivetrain. Damage, failure,
or reduced life of the engine,
transmission, emission system,
drivetrain or other vehicle
components caused by aftermarket
engine performance enhancement
products or modifications may not
be covered under your vehicle
warranty.
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 damagecaused 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 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 questions on how to
keep your vehicle in good working
condition, see your Cadillac dealer,
the place many customers chooseto have their maintenance work
done. You can rely on your Cadillac
dealer to use the proper parts and
repair practices.
Maintenance and Warranty
Service Records
Retain receipts covering
performance of regular
maintenance. 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
recording services performed.
The servicing dealer can provide a
copy of any warranty repairs for
your records.
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
damage can take two forms:
blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,
and/or small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the factory
applied paint causes this, Cadillac
will repair, at no charge to the
owner, the painted surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or
12,000 miles of purchase, whichever
comes first.

Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in the mechanical,
electrical, sheet metal, paint, trim,
and other components of your
vehicle may occur at the factory or
while it is being transported to the
dealer facility. Normally, any defects
occurring during assembly are
identified and corrected at the
factory during the inspection
process. In addition, dealers inspect
each vehicle before delivery. They
repair any uncorrected factory
defects and any transit damage
detected before the vehicle is
delivered to you.
Any defects still present at the time
the vehicle is delivered to you are
covered by the warranty. If you find
any defects, advise your dealer
without delay. For further details
concerning any repairs which the
dealer may have made prior to you
taking delivery of your vehicle, ask
your dealer.
Production Changes
GM and GM dealers reserve the
right to make changes in vehicles
built and/or sold by them at any time
without incurring any obligation to
make the same or similar changes
on vehicles previously built and/or
sold by them.

begin on the date the vehicle is
delivered to the first retail purchaser
or, if the vehicle is first placed in
service as a demonstrator or
company vehicle prior to sale at
retail, on the date the vehicle is
placed in such service.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the vehicle owner, you are
responsible for the performance of
the scheduled maintenance listed in
your owner manual. GM
recommends that you retain all
maintenance receipts for your
vehicle, but GM cannot deny
warranty coverage solely for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to
ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.

GM, designed for use on GM
vehicles, and distributed by any
division or subsidiary of GM.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can be
performed by any qualified service
outlet; however, 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.
In a situation where the vehicle
owner is significantly
inconvenienced, and an authorized
dealer is not reasonably available,
repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment or
by the owner, using any
replacement part. Cadillac will
consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retailprice for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Cadillac's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labor rate. A part not being available
within 10 days or a repair not being
completed within 30 days
constitutes a significant
inconvenience. Retain receipts and
failed parts in order to receive
compensation for warranty repairs
reimbursable due to these
situations.
If you are in a situation where you
are significantly inconvenienced and
it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than a Cadillac
dealer and you believe the repairs
are covered by emission warranties,
take the replaced parts and your
receipt to a Cadillac dealer for
reimbursement consideration. This
applies to both the Federal
Emission Defect Warranty and
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or other repairs (such as those
outlined earlier) should be retained
in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. These
receipts and records should be
transferred to each subsequent
owner. GM will not deny warranty
coverage solely on the absence of
maintenance records. However, GM
may deny a warranty claim if a
failure to perform scheduled
maintenance resulted in the failure
of a warranty part.
Claims Procedure
As with the other warranties
covered in this booklet, take your
vehicle to any authorized Cadillac
dealer facility to obtain service
under the emission warranty. This
should be done as soon as possible
after failing an EPA-approved I/M
test or a California smog check test,
or at any time you suspect a defect
in a part.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure 31
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Cadillac. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of your vehicle will be
resolved by your dealer's sales or
service departments. Sometimes,
however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has not
been resolved to your satisfaction,
the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your
concern with a member of dealer
management.Normally, concerns
can be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales, service,
or parts manager, contact the
owner of the dealer facility or the
general manager.
STEP TWO: If after contacting a
member of dealer management, it
appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealer without
further help contact the Cadillac
Customer Assistance Center bycalling 1-800-458-8006. For the
Cadillac ELR Customer Assistance
Center call 1-855-422-3357

Care Centre by calling
1-888-446-2000: English,

For resolution of issues related to
the Cadillac Professional Vehicle,
contact 1-800-43-FLEET
(1-800-433-5338).
We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to give
your inquiry prompt attention.
Have the following information
available to give the Customer
Assistance Representative:
.The Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). This is available
from the vehicle registration or
title, or the plate above the top of
the instrument panel on the
driver side, and visible through
the windshield.
.The dealer name and location.
.The vehicle delivery date and
present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac,
remember that your concern will
likely be resolved at a dealer's
facility. That is why we suggest you
follow Step One first if you have a
concern.
STEP THREE: Both GM and your
GM dealer are committed to making
sure you are completely satisfied
with your new vehicle. However,
if you continue to remain unsatisfied
after following the procedure
outlined in Steps One and Two, you
can file with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to
enforce any additional rights you
may have.
The BBB Auto Line Program is an
out of court program administered
by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus to settle automotive
disputes regarding vehicle repairs or
the interpretation of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. Although you may
be required to resort to this informal
