Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, GM 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

and are made from previously used
components in a process that
involves disassembly, inspection,
cleaning, update of software and
replacement of 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.

18 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
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 Chevrolet, 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 Chevrolet
dealer, the place many customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
Chevrolet 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 towhether 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, Chevrolet
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.
