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 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.

under local, state, or federal law.

will replace, repair, or adjust to GM
specifications, at no charge to you,
any of the parts listed under the
