system, drivetrain or other vehicle
components caused by aftermarket
engine performance enhancement
products or modifications may not
be covered under your new vehicle
limited warranty.
After-Manufacture
“Rustproofing”
Your Low Cab Forward Truck was
designed and built to resist
corrosion. Application of additional
rust-inhibiting materials is neither
necessary nor required under the
Sheet Metal Coverage. Chevrolet
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 any
paint or appearance concerns,
advise your Chevrolet Low Cab
Forward 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 Low
Cab Forward dealer, the place many
customers choose to have their
maintenance work done. You can
rely on your Chevrolet Low Cab
Forward 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 Chevrolet Low Cab
Forward 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.

18 Emission Control Systems Warranty
Any authorized Chevrolet Low Cab
Forward Truck Dealer will, as
necessary under these warranties,
replace, repair, or adjust to GM
specifications any genuine GM parts
that affect emissions. The applicable
warranty period shall begin on the
date the Low Cab Forward Truck is
delivered to the first retail purchaser
or, if the Low Cab Forward truck 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 Low Cab Forward truck
owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the scheduled
maintenance listed in your owner
manual. Chevrolet recommends that
you retain all maintenance receipts
for the chassis, but Chevrolet
cannot deny warranty coverage
solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled
maintenance.You are responsible for presenting
your chassis to a Chevrolet Low
Cab Forward dealer servicing your
chassis line as soon as a problem
exists. The warranted repairs should
be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed
30 days.
As the Low Cab Forward truck
owner, you should also be aware
that Chevrolet may deny warranty
coverage if your chassis or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper or insufficient
maintenance, or modifications not
approved by GM.
If you have any questions regarding
your rights and responsibilities
under these warranties, you should

Emission Defect Warranty
Parts specified in your maintenance
schedule that require scheduled
replacement are covered up to their
first replacement interval or the
applicable emission warranty
coverage period, whichever comes
first. If failure of one of these partsresults in failure of another part,
both will be covered under the
Emission Control System Warranty.
For detailed information concerning
specific parts covered by these
emission control systems
warranties, ask your dealer.
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of
your vehicle were designed, built,
and tested using genuine GM parts*
and the vehicle is certified as being
in conformity with applicable federal
and California emission
requirements.
Accordingly, it is
recommended that any
replacement parts used for
maintenance or for the repair of
emission control systems be new,
genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement
parts. The owner can elect to use
non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of emission control
systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts
are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
parts affecting emission control, the
owner should assure himself/herself
that such parts are warranted by
their manufacturer to be equivalent
to genuine GM parts in performance
and durability.
*
“Genuine GM parts,” when used in
connection with GM vehicles means
parts manufactured by or for 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
Chevrolet Low Cab Forward Truck
dealer except in a situation where
the vehicle owner is significantly
inconvenienced and when a
Chevrolet Low Cab Forward Limited Warranty and Owner Assistance

Emission Warranty Parts List 21
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
Chevrolet Low Cab Forward Truck
dealer is not reasonably available,
repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment or
by the owner, using any
replacement part. Chevrolet will
consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail
price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Chevrolet'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 Chevrolet
Low Cab Forward Truck dealer and
you believe the repairs are covered
by emission warranties, take the
replaced parts and your receipt to a
Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 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. Chevrolet will not deny
warranty coverage solely on the
absence of maintenance records.
However, Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet
Low Cab Forward 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.
Those repairs qualifying under the
warranty will be performed by any
Chevrolet Low Cab Forward dealer
at no charge. Repairs which do not
qualify will be charged to you. You
will be notified as to whether or not
the repair qualifies under the
warranty within a reasonable time,
not to exceed 30 days after receipt
of the vehicle by the dealer,
or within the time period required by
local or state law.
The only exceptions would be if you
request or agree to an extension,
or if a delay results from events
beyond the control of your dealer or
