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. 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.

Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty 23
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
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 the
Emission Control Systems Warranty
ensuring that you receive full benefit
of the coverage.
Warranty distance extensions
eligibility:
.Applies only to new vehicles
held exclusively in new vehicle
inventory.
.Does not apply to used vehicles,
GM owned vehicles, dealer
owned used vehicles, or dealer
demonstrator vehicles.

34 Things to Know About the Emission Control Systems Warranty
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.
Receipts and records covering
the performance of regular
maintenance or emergency repairs
should be retained in the event
questions arise concerning
maintenance. These receipts and
records should be transferred to
each subsequent owner of this
vehicle. GM will not deny warranty
coverage based 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 warranted part.You should also be aware that GM
may deny you warranty coverage if
your vehicle or a part has failed
due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, or modifications not
approved by GM.
Claims Procedure
Make your vehicle available to any
authorized GM dealer as soon as
possible after failing a provincial I/M
test or at any time you suspect a
defect in a part. Ifallthe above
conditions are met, GM warrants
that your dealer will replace, repair,
or adjust to GM specifications, at no
charge to you, any of the parts listed
under“Emission Control Systems
Warranty Parts List”which may be
necessary to cause your vehicle to
conform to the applicable emission
standards.
Repairs which do not qualify will be
charged to you.In the event a warranty matter is not
handled to your satisfaction, refer to
theCustomer Satisfaction
Procedure on page 35.
