12 New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Cadillac CT6 Hybrid Coverage
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. Gradual loss of battery
capacity is NOT covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Depending on use, the high-voltage
battery may experience as much as
40% capacity reduction over the
warranty period. See your owner
manual for important tips on how to
maximize the life and capacity of the
high-voltage battery. To avoid losing
warranty coverage for the battery,
follow the guidelines for proper
battery maintenance when the
vehicle is not driven, or when the
vehicle is stored for an extended
period of time.
Hybrid Battery
Battery and Internal Components,
Modules, and Fan Repair
If possible, components will be
repaired or replaced, and the
original battery will be returned to
the vehicle.
Replace (If Necessary)
Under warranty, the high voltage
battery will be replaced with either a
new or factory reconditioned high
voltage battery with an energy
capacity (kWh storage) level at or
above that of the original battery
prior to the failure.
Your CT6 Hybrid battery warranty
replacement may not return your
vehicle as an
“as new”condition,
but it will make your CT6 Hybrid
fully operational appropriate to its
age and mileage.
Electric Propulsion Components
High Voltage Wiring, Hybrid
Powertrain and Battery Control
Modules, E-Compressor, Traction
Power Inverter Module (TPIM),
Accessory Power Module (APM),

14 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
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.
Cadillac 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 anypaint 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 choose
to 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.

conform with those regulations
during the emission warranty
period.
Emission-related defects in the
genuine GM parts listed under the
Emission Warranty Parts List,
including related diagnostic costs,
parts, and labor are covered by this
warranty.
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty
Some states and/or local
jurisdictions have established
periodic vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) programs to
encourage proper maintenance of
your vehicle. If an EPA-approved I/
M program is enforced in your area,
you may also be eligible for
Emission Performance Warranty
coverage when all three of the
following conditions are met:
. The vehicle has been
maintained and operated in
accordance with the instructions
for proper maintenance and use
set forth in the owner manual
supplied with your vehicle. .
The vehicle fails an
EPA-approved I/M test during
the emission warranty period.
. The failure results, or will result,
in the owner of the vehicle
having to bear a penalty or other
sanctions, including the denial of
the right to use the vehicle,
under local, state, or federal law.
GM warrants that your Cadillac
dealer will replace, repair, or adjust
to Cadillac specifications, at no
charge to you, any of the parts listed
under Emission Warranty Parts List
0 22, which may be necessary to
conform to the applicable emission
standards. Non-Cadillac parts
labeled “Certified to EPA Standards”
are covered by the Federal
Emission Performance Warranty.
California Emission Control
System Warranty

warranty that Cadillac provides for
your vehicle in accordance with the
California Air Resources Board.
