Caution (Continued)
with drive axle tires on the
ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with an electric parking
brake and/or an electronic
shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the
electric parking brake
cannot be released, and the
vehicle cannot be shifted to
N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent damage while
loading/unloading the
vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with a tow eye. Improper use
of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. If equipped, use
the tow eye to load the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck from a flat road
surface, or to move the
vehicle a very short distance
at a walking pace. The tow
eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle
must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow
truck to transport a disabled
vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles,
if necessary. If equipped, a tow eye may be
located near the spare tire or
emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle
from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may
have right or left-hand
threads. Use caution when
installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) and the electric
parking brake must be
released when loading the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.
.If the vehicle is equipped
with car wash mode and has
12-volt battery power, refer
to
“Car Wash Mode” under
Electric Drive Unit 0211 to
place the vehicle in
N (Neutral).
.If the 12-volt battery is dead
and/or the vehicle will not
start, the vehicle will not
move. Try to jump start the

Managing the Vehicle
Damage Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle
requires damage repairs, GM
recommends that you take an
active role in its repair. If you
have a pre-determined repair
facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed
there. Specify to the facility
that any required replacement
collision parts be original
equipment parts, either new
Genuine GM parts or recycled
original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be
covered by the GM vehicle
warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the
repair, but you must live with
the repair. Depending on your
policy limits, your insurance
company may initially value the
repair using aftermarket parts.
Discuss this with the repair
professional, and insist on
Genuine GM parts. Remember,
if the vehicle is leased, you
may be obligated to have the vehicle repaired with Genuine
GM parts, even if your
insurance coverage does not
pay the full cost.
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.
