438 CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Additional Program Information
All program options, such as shuttle
service, may not be available at every
dealer. Contact your dealer for specific
availability.
General Motors reserves the right to
unilaterally modify, change,
or discontinue Courtesy
Transportation at any time and to
resolve all questions of claim
eligibility pursuant to the terms and
conditions described herein at its sole
discretion.
Collision Damage Repair
If the vehicle is involved in a collision
and it is damaged, have the damage
repaired by a qualified technician
using the proper equipment and
quality replacement parts. Poorly
performed collision repairs diminish
the vehicle resale value, and safety
performance can be compromised in
subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts are new
parts made with the same materials
and construction methods as the partswith which the vehicle was originally
built. Genuine GM Collision parts are
the best choice to ensure that the
vehicle's designed appearance,
durability, and safety are preserved.
The use of Genuine GM parts can help
maintain the GM New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Recycled original equipment parts
may also be used for repair. These
parts are typically removed from
vehicles that were total losses in prior
crashes. In most cases, the parts being
recycled are from undamaged sections
of the vehicle. A recycled original
equipment GM part may be an
acceptable choice to maintain the
vehicle's originally designed
appearance and safety performance;
however, the history of these parts is
not known. Such parts are not covered
by the GM New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, and any related failures are
not covered by that warranty.
Aftermarket collision parts are also
available. These are made by
companies other than GM and may
not have been tested for the vehicle.
As a result, these parts may fit poorly,
exhibit premature durability/corrosion
problems, and may not perform
properly in subsequent collisions.
Aftermarket parts are not covered by
the GM New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, and any vehicle failure
related to such parts is not covered by
that warranty.
Repair Facility
GM also recommends that you choose
a collision repair facility that meets
your needs before you ever need
collision repairs. Your dealer may have
a collision repair center with
GM-trained technicians and
state-of-the-art equipment, or be able
to recommend a collision repair center
that has GM-trained technicians and
comparable equipment.
Insuring the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the GM
vehicle with comprehensive and
collision insurance coverage. There are
significant differences in the quality of
coverage afforded by various
insurance policy terms. Many
insurance policies provide reduced
protection to the GM vehicle by

440 CUSTOMER INFORMATION
If another party's insurance company
is paying for the repairs, you are not
obligated to accept a repair valuation
based on that insurance company's
collision policy repair limits, as you
have no contractual limits with that
company. In such cases, you can have
control of the repair and parts choices
as long as the cost stays within
reasonable limits.

where OnStar has an agreement with
a wireless service provider for service
in that area. The wireless service
provider must also have coverage,
network capacity, reception, and
technology compatible with OnStar or
connected services. Service involving
location information about the vehicle
cannot work unless GPS signals are
available, unobstructed, and
compatible with the OnStar hardware.
OnStar or connected services may not
work if the OnStar equipment is not
properly installed or it has not been
properly maintained. If equipment or
software is added, connected,
or modified, OnStar or connected
services may not work. Other
problems beyond the control of
OnStar
—such as hills, tall buildings,
tunnels, weather, electrical system
design and architecture of the vehicle,
damage to the vehicle in a crash,
or wireless phone network congestion
or jamming —may prevent service.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0440.

system should still operate to call
OnStar. However, OnStar could have
difficulty identifying the exact

Turn-by-Turn Navigation route. The
Advisor may give a verbal route or
may ask for a call back after the
vehicle is driven into an open area.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
Cellular reception is required for

not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.
Add-on Electrical Equipment
The OnStar system is integrated into
the electrical architecture of the
vehicle. Do not add any electrical
equipment. See

Equipment 0326. Added electrical
equipment may interfere with the
operation of the OnStar system and

OnStar or GM may remotely deliver
software updates or changes to the
vehicle without further notice or
consent. These updates or changes
may enhance or maintain safety,
security, or the operation of the
vehicle or the vehicle systems.
Software updates or changes may
affect or erase data or settings that
are stored in the vehicle, such as
saved navigation destinations or
pre-set radio stations. Neither OnStar
nor GM is responsible for any affected
or erased data or settings. These
updates or changes may also collect personal information. Such collection
is described in the OnStar privacy
statement or separately disclosed at
the time of installation. These updates
or changes may also cause a system to
automatically communicate with GM
servers to collect information about
vehicle system status, identify
whether updates or changes are
available, or deliver updates or
changes. An active OnStar agreement
constitutes consent to these software
updates or changes and agreement
that either OnStar or GM may
remotely deliver them to the vehicle.Privacy

Statement may be found at
www.onstar.com (U.S.),
