5-103 Washing Your Vehicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s ﬁnish is to keep it clean by washing it often. Notice: Certain cleaners contain chemicals that can damage the emblems or nameplates on your vehicle. Check the cleaning product label. If it states that it should not be used on plastic parts, do not use it on your vehicle or damage may occur and it would not be covered by the warranty. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Use a car washing soap. Do not use cleaning agents that are petroleum based or that contain acid or abrasives, as they can damage the paint, metal or plastic on your vehicle. Approved cleaning products can be obtained from your dealer/retailer. See Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-108. Follow all manufacturers’ directions regarding correct product usage, necessary safety precautions and appropriate disposal of any vehicle care product. Rinse the vehicle well, before washing and after to remove all cleaning agents completely. If they are allowed to dry on the surface, they could stain. Dry the ﬁnish with a soft, clean chamois or an all-cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting High pressure car washes may cause water to enter the vehicle. Avoid using high pressure washes closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to the surface of the vehicle. Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals. Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car washing soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses. Follow instructions under Washing Your Vehicle on page 5-104. Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by hand may be necessary to remove residue from the paint ﬁnish. You can get approved cleaning products from your dealer/retailer. See Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-108. If your vehicle has a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish, the clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish. 5-104 Notice: Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish may damage it. Use only non-abrasive waxes and polishes that are made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish on your vehicle. Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can damage your vehicle’s ﬁnish if they remain on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter. Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period of years. You can help to keep the paint ﬁnish looking new by keeping your vehicle garaged or covered whenever possible. Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their luster. Washing with water is all that is usually needed. However, you may use chrome polish on chrome or stainless steel trim, if necessary. Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging protective trim, never use auto or chrome polish, steam or caustic soap to clean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed to high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts. Windshield, Backglass, and Wiper Blades Clean the outside of the windshield and backglass with glass cleaner. Clean the rubber blades using a lint free cloth or paper towel soaked with windshield washer ﬂuid or a mild detergent. Wash the windshield thoroughly when you clean the blades. Bugs, road grime, sap and a buildup of vehicle wash/wax treatments may cause wiper streaking. Replace the wiper blades if they are worn or damaged. Wipers can be damaged by: (cid:127) Extreme dusty conditions (cid:127) Sand and salt (cid:127) Heat and sun (cid:127) Snow and ice, without proper removal 5-105 Aluminum Wheels Notice: If you use strong soaps, chemicals, abrasive polishes, cleaners, brushes, or cleaners that contain acid on aluminum or chrome-plated wheels, you could damage the surface of the wheel(s). The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Use only approved cleaners on aluminum or chrome-plated wheels. Keep the wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel. A wax may then be applied. Notice: Using chrome polish on aluminum wheels could damage the wheels. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Use chrome polish on chrome wheels only. The surface of these wheels is similar to the painted surface of the vehicle. Do not use strong soaps, chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners, cleaners with acid, or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because the surface could be damaged. Do not use chrome polish on aluminum wheels. If you drive your vehicle through an Notice: automatic car wash that has silicone carbide tire cleaning brushes, you could damage the aluminum or chrome-plated wheels. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Never drive a vehicle equipped with aluminum or chrome-plated wheels through an automatic car wash that uses silicone carbide tire cleaning brushes. Tires To clean the tires, use a stiff brush with tire cleaner. Notice: Using petroleum-based tire dressing products on your vehicle may damage the paint ﬁnish and/or tires. When applying a tire dressing, always wipe off any overspray from all painted surfaces on your vehicle. Sheet Metal Damage If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide the corrosion protection while maintaining the warranty. 5-106 Chemical Paint Spotting Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on the vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations, and small, irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface. Although no defect in the paint job causes this, we will repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase, whichever occurs ﬁrst. Finish Damage Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the ﬁnish should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop into major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your dealer/retailer. Larger areas of ﬁnish damage can be corrected in your dealer’s/retailer’s body and paint shop. Underbody Maintenance Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody. If these are not removed, corrosion and rust can develop on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, ﬂoor pan, and exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection. At least every spring, ﬂush these materials from the underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud and debris can collect. Dirt packed in close areas of the frame should be loosened before being ﬂushed. Your dealer/retailer or an underbody car washing system can do this for you. 5-107 Vehicle Care/Appearance Materials Description Usage Description Usage Swirl Remover Polish Polishing Cloth Tar and Road Oil Remover Chrome Cleaner and Polish White Sidewall Tire Cleaner Vinyl Cleaner Glass Cleaner Chrome Wheel Cleaner Finish Enhancer Interior and exterior polishing cloth.

It appears on a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the driver side. It can be seen through the windshield from outside the vehicle. The VIN also appears on the Certiﬁcation/Tire and Service Parts labels and the certiﬁcates of title and registration. Engine Identiﬁcation The eighth character in the VIN is the engine code. This code helps identify the vehicle’s engine, speciﬁcations, and replacement parts. See Capacities and Speciﬁcations on page 5-121 for your vehicle’s engine code. Service Parts Identiﬁcation Label This label is on the inside of the glove box. It is very helpful if you ever need to order parts. The label has the following information: (cid:127) Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN) (cid:127) Model designation (cid:127) Paint information (cid:127) Production options and special equipment Do not remove this label from the vehicle. Electrical System Add-On Electrical Equipment Notice: Do not add anything electrical to your vehicle unless you check with your dealer/retailer ﬁrst. Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle and the damage would not be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other components from working as they should. Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery, even if your vehicle is not operating. Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to add anything electrical to your vehicle, see Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-64. 5-109 Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of ﬁres caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without — like the radio or cigarette lighter — and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can. Headlamps The headlamp wiring is protected by four fuses. An electrical overload will cause a lamp to go on and off. If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right away. Windshield Wiper Fuses The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem, have it ﬁxed. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the power windows and other power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is ﬁxed or goes away. 5-110 Engine Compartment Fuse Block The fuse block is located under the hood in the engine compartment on the driver side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more information on location. Remove the primary cover by pressing the two locking tabs. Remove the secondary cover by snapping off while lifting. To reinstall the fuse panel cover, reverse the sequence. Notice: Spilling liquid on any electrical components on your vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component. 5-111 L6 Engine Fuses Usage Electrically-Controlled Air Suspension Passenger Side High-Beam Headlamp Fuses Usage Passenger Side Low-Beam Headlamp Back-Up Trailer Lamps Driver Side High-Beam Headlamp 5-112 Fuses Usage Fuses 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Driver Side Low-Beam Headlamp Windshield Wiper Automatic Transfer Case Windshield Washer Powertrain Control Module B Fog Lamps Stoplamp Cigarette Lighter Not Used Electric Adjustable Pedal Truck Body Controller, Ignition 1 Crank Airbag 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Usage Trailer Electric Brake Cooling Fan Horn Ignition E Electronic Throttle Control Instrument Panel Cluster, Driver Information Center Automatic Shift Lock Control System Transmission Control Module (TCM) Canister Backup Powertrain Control Module 1 Oxygen Sensor Air Conditioning 5-113 Fuses Usage Relays Usage 31 32 33 34 35 36 50 51 52 53 54 56 58 59 Truck Body Controller 1 Trailer Antilock Brakes (ABS) Ignition A Blower Motor Ignition B Passenger Side Trailer Turn Driver Side Trailer Turn Hazard Flashers Headlamp Driver Module Air Injection Reactor (AIR) Solenoid Air Injection Reactor (AIR) Pump Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (StabiliTrak®) Regulated Voltage Control 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 49 55 57 Headlamp Washer Rear Window Wiper/Washer Fog Lamps Horn Fuel Pump Windshield Washer High-Beam Headlamp Air Conditioning Cooling Fan Headlamp Driver Module Starter Electric Adjustable Pedal Air Injection Reactor (AIR) Solenoid Powertrain Miscellaneous Usage 48 Instrument Panel Battery 5-114 V8 Engine Fuses Usage Electrically-Controlled Air Suspension Passenger Side High-Beam Headlamp Fuses Usage Passenger Side Low-Beam Headlamp Back-Up-Trailer Lamps Driver Side High-Beam Headlamp 5-115 Fuses Usage Fuses Usage 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Driver Side Low-Beam Headlamp Windshield Wiper Automatic Transfer Case Windshield Washer Powertrain Control Module B Fog Lamps Stoplamp Cigarette Lighter Ignition Coils Transmission Control Module Canister Vent Truck Body Controller, Ignition 1 Crank Airbag Trailer Electric Brake 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Cooling Fan Horn Ignition E Electronic Throttle Control Instrument Panel Cluster, Driver Information Center Automatic Shift Lock Control System Engine 1 Backup Powertrain Control Module 1 Powertrain Control Module Air Conditioning Injector Bank A Trailer 5-116 Fuses Usage Relays Usage 33 34 35 36 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 61 62 Antilock Brakes (ABS) Ignition A Blower Motor Ignition B Passenger Side Trailer Turn Driver Side Trailer Turn Hazard Flashers Transmission Oxygen Sensor Bank B Oxygen Sensor Bank A Injector Bank B Headlamp Driver Module Body Controller 1 Electric Adjustable Pedal Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (StabiliTrak®) Regulated Voltage Control 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 49 60 Headlamp Washer Rear Window Wiper Fog Lamps Horn Fuel Pump Windshield Washer High-Beam Headlamp Air Conditioning Cooling Fan Headlamp Driver Module Starter Electric Adjustable Pedal Powertrain Miscellaneous Usage 48 Instrument Panel Battery 5-117 Rear Underseat Fuse Block 5-118 Fuses Usage Fuses Usage 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 Passenger Door Control Module Driver Door Control Module Liftgate Module 2 Truck Body Controller 3 Rear Fog Lamps Blank Truck Body Controller 2 Power Seats Rear Wiper Driver Door Module Ampliﬁer Passenger Door Module Rear Climate Controls Driver Side Rear Parking Lamps Blank 16 17 18 19 20 21 23 24 25 26 27 28 Vehicle Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) Passenger Side Rear Parking Lamps Locks Liftgate Module/Driver Seat Module Blank Lock Blank Unlock Blank Blank OnStar® Overhead Battery, OnStar® System Sunroof 5-119 Fuses Usage Fuses Usage 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 Not Used Parking Lamps Truck Body Controller Accessory Truck Body Controller 5 Front Wipers Vehicle Stop Transmission Control Module Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning B Front Parking Lamps Driver Side Turn Signal Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning 1 Truck Body Controller 4 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 Radio Trailer Park Passenger Side Turn Signal Heat Ventilation Air Conditioning Rear Fog Lamps Auxiliary Power 1 Ignition 0 Four-Wheel Drive Blank Truck Body Controller Ignition Brakes Truck Body Controller Run 5-120 Capacities and Speciﬁcations The following approximate capacities are given in English and metric conversions.

Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan supplements your new vehicle warranties. See your Warranty and Owner Assistance booklet or your dealer/retailer for details. Maintenance Requirements Notice: Maintenance intervals, checks, inspections, replacement parts, and recommended ﬂuids and lubricants as prescribed in this manual are necessary to keep your vehicle in good working condition. Any damage caused by failure to follow scheduled maintenance might not be covered by warranty. 6-2 Your Vehicle and the Environment Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance is important. Improper vehicle maintenance can even affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper ﬂuid levels or the wrong tire inﬂation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our environment, and to keep your vehicle in good condition, be sure to maintain your vehicle properly. Using the Maintenance Schedule We want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we do not know exactly how you will drive it. You might drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you might drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You might use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or you might drive it to work, to do errands, or in many other ways. Because of all the different ways people use their vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You might need more frequent checks and replacements. So please read the following and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your dealer/retailer. This schedule is for vehicles that: (cid:127) carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will ﬁnd these limits on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-35. (cid:127) are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits. (cid:127) are driven off-road in the recommended manner. See Off-Road Driving (Except SS) on page 4-14. (cid:127) use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. The services in Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 should be performed when indicated. See Additional Required Services on page 6-6 and Maintenance Footnotes on page 6-7 for further information. {CAUTION: Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work only if you have the required know-how and the proper tools and equipment for the job. If you have any doubt, see your dealer/retailer to have a qualiﬁed technician do the work. See Doing Your Own Service Work on page 5-4. Some maintenance services can be complex. So, unless you are technically qualiﬁed and have the necessary equipment, you should have your dealer/retailer do these jobs. When you go to your dealer/retailer for your service needs, you will know that trained and supported service technicians will perform the work using genuine parts. If you want to purchase service information, see Service Publications Ordering Information on page 7-15. 6-3 Owner Checks and Services on page 6-9 tells you what should be checked, when to check it, and what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition. The proper replacement parts, ﬂuids, and lubricants to use are listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12 and Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 6-15. When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these are used. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of genuine parts from your dealer/retailer. Scheduled Maintenance When the change engine oil light or CHANGE ENGINE OIL DIC message comes on, it means that service is required for your vehicle. See Change Engine Oil Light on page 3-45 or DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the engine oil life system may not indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and ﬁlter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. Your dealer/ retailer has trained service technicians who will perform this work using genuine parts and reset the system. 6-4 If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally, you must service your vehicle within 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See Engine Oil Life System on page 5-22 for information on the Engine Oil Life System and resetting the system. When the change engine oil light or CHANGE ENGINE OIL DIC message appears, certain services, checks, and inspections are required. Required services are described in the following for “Maintenance I” and “Maintenance II.” Generally, it is recommended that your ﬁrst service be Maintenance I, your second service be Maintenance II, and that you alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter. However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be required more often. Maintenance I — Use Maintenance I if the light or message comes on within 10 months since the vehicle was purchased or Maintenance II was performed. Maintenance II — Use Maintenance II if the previous service performed was Maintenance I. Always use Maintenance II whenever the light or message comes on 10 months or more since the last service or if the light or message has not come on at all for one year.

Your dealer/retailer can assist you with these checks and services. Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at once. Whenever any ﬂuids or lubricants are added to your vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones, as shown in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12. At Each Fuel Fill It is important to perform these underhood checks at each fuel ﬁll. Engine Oil Level Check Notice: regularly and keep it at the proper level. Failure to keep the engine oil at the proper level can cause damage to the engine not covered by your warranty. Check the engine oil level and add the proper oil if necessary. See Engine Oil on page 5-17. It is important to check the engine oil Engine Coolant Level Check Check the engine coolant level and add DEX-COOL® coolant mixture if necessary. See Engine Coolant on page 5-28. Windshield Washer Fluid Level Check Check the windshield washer ﬂuid level in the windshield washer ﬂuid reservoir and add the proper ﬂuid if necessary. At Least Once a Month Tire Inﬂation Check Inspect your vehicle’s tires and make sure they are inﬂated to the correct pressures. Do not forget to check the spare tire. See Inﬂation - Tire Pressure on page 5-65. Check to make sure the spare tire is stored securely. See Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-85. Tire Wear Inspection Tire rotation may be required for high mileage highway drivers prior to the Engine Oil Life System service notiﬁcation. Check the tires for wear and, if necessary, rotate the tires. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-72. 6-9 At Least Once a Year Starter Switch Check {CAUTION: When you are doing this inspection, the vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle moves, you or others could be injured. 1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room around the vehicle. 2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the regular brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-32. Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready to turn off the engine immediately if it starts. 3. Try to start the engine in each gear. The vehicle should start only in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the vehicle starts in any other position, contact your dealer/retailer for service. Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System Check {CAUTION: When you are doing this inspection, the vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle moves, you or others could be injured. 1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room around the vehicle. It should be parked on a level surface. 2. Firmly apply the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-32. Be ready to apply the regular brake immediately if the vehicle begins to move. 3. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON/RUN, but do not start the engine. Without applying the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of PARK (P) with normal effort. If the shift lever moves out of PARK (P), contact your dealer/retailer for service. 6-10 Ignition Transmission Lock Check While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF in each shift lever position. (cid:127) The ignition should turn to LOCK/OFF only when the shift lever is in PARK (P). (cid:127) The ignition key should come out only in LOCK/OFF. Contact your dealer/retailer if service is required. Parking Brake and Automatic Transmission Park (P) Mechanism Check {CAUTION: When you are doing this check, your vehicle could begin to move. You or others could be injured and property could be damaged. Make sure there is room in front of your vehicle in case it begins to roll. Be ready to apply the regular brake at once should the vehicle begin to move. Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing downhill.

Have the following information available to give the Customer Assistance Representative: (cid:127) Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate at the top left of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield. (cid:127) Dealership name and location. (cid:127) Vehicle delivery date and present mileage. When contacting Chevrolet, remember that your concern will likely be resolved at a dealer’s facility. That is why we suggest following Step One ﬁrst. STEP THREE — U.S. Owners: Both General Motors and your dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisﬁed with your new vehicle. However, if you continue to remain unsatisﬁed after following the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you should ﬁle with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to enforce your rights. Customer Assistance and Information Customer Satisfaction Procedure Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and to Chevrolet. Normally, any concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of the vehicle will be resolved by the dealer’s sales or service departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken: STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already been reviewed with the sales, service, or parts manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the general manager. STEP TWO: If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealership without further help, in the U.S., call the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1020. In Canada, call General Motors of Canada Customer Communication Centre at 1-800-263-3777 (English), or 1-800-263-7854 (French). 7-2 The BBB Auto Line Program is an out of court program administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus to settle automotive disputes regarding vehicle repairs or the interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Although you may be required to resort to this informal dispute resolution program prior to ﬁling a court action, use of the program is free of charge and your case will generally be heard within 40 days. If you do not agree with the decision given in your case, you may reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief available to you. You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address: BBB Auto Line Program Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22203-1838 Telephone: 1-800-955-5100 This program is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age, mileage, and other factors. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or discontinue its participation in this program. STEP THREE — Canadian Owners: In the event that you do not feel your concerns have been addressed after following the procedure outlined in Steps 1 and 2, General Motors of Canada Limited wants you to be aware of its participation in a no-charge Mediation/Arbitration Program. General Motors of Canada Limited has committed to binding arbitration of owner disputes involving factory-related vehicle service claims. The program provides for the review of the facts involved by an impartial third party arbiter, and may include an informal hearing before the arbiter. The program is designed so that the entire dispute settlement process, from the time you ﬁle your complaint to the ﬁnal decision, should be completed in about 70 days. We believe our impartial program offers advantages over courts in most jurisdictions because it is informal, quick, and free of charge. For further information concerning eligibility in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP), call toll-free 1-800-207-0685, or call the General Motors Customer Communication Centre, 1-800-263-3777 (English), 1-800-263-7854 (French), or write to: The Mediation/Arbitration Program c/o Customer Communication Centre General Motors of Canada Limited Mail Code: CA1-163-005 1908 Colonel Sam Drive Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7 Your inquiry should be accompanied by the Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN). 7-3 Online Owner Center (United States only) The Owner Center is a resource for your GM ownership needs.

Winch-out assistance is provided when the vehicle is mired in sand, mud, or snow.

This beneﬁt is to assist you with some of the unplanned expense you may incur while waiting for your vehicle to be repaired. Pre-authorization, original detailed receipts and a copy of the repair order are required. Once authorization has been given, your advisor will help you make any necessary arrangements and explain how to claim for trip interruption expense assistance. (cid:127) Alternative Service (Canada only): There may be times, when Roadside Assistance cannot provide timely assistance. Your advisor may authorize you to secure local emergency road service, and you will be reimbursed up to $100 upon submission of the original receipt to Roadside Assistance. In many instances, mechanical failures may be covered. However, any cost for parts and labor for non-warranty repairs are the responsibility of the driver.

Chevrolet and General Motors of Canada Limited reserve the right to make any changes or discontinue the Roadside Assistance program at any time without notiﬁcation. Scheduling Service Appointments When your vehicle requires warranty service, contact your dealer/retailer and request an appointment. By scheduling a service appointment and advising your service consultant of your transportation needs, your dealer/retailer can help minimize your inconvenience. If your vehicle cannot be scheduled into the service department immediately, keep driving it until it can be scheduled for service, unless, of course, the problem is safety-related. If it is, please call your dealership/retailer, let them know this, and ask for instructions. If the dealer/retailer requests that you simply drop the vehicle off for service, you are urged to do so as early in the work day as possible to allow for the same day repair. 7-9 Courtesy Transportation To enhance your ownership experience, we and our participating dealers are proud to offer Courtesy Transportation, a customer support program for vehicles with the Bumper to Bumper (Base Warranty Coverage period in Canada) and extended powertrain warranty in both the U.S. and Canada. Several courtesy transportation options are available to assist in reducing your inconvenience when warranty repairs are required. Courtesy Transportation is not a part of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. A separate booklet entitled “Warranty and Owner Assistance Information” furnished with each new vehicle provides detailed warranty coverage information. 7-10 Transportation Options Warranty service can generally be completed while you wait. However, if you are unable to wait, GM helps to minimize your inconvenience by providing several transportation options. Depending on the circumstances, your dealer can offer you one of the following: Shuttle Service Shuttle service is the preferred means of offering Courtesy Transportation. Dealers may provide you with shuttle service to get you to your destination with minimal interruption of your daily schedule. This includes one-way or round trip shuttle service within reasonable time and distance parameters of the dealer’s area. Public Transportation or Fuel Reimbursement If your vehicle requires overnight warranty repairs, and public transportation is used instead of the dealer’s shuttle service, the expense must be supported by original receipts and can only be up to the maximum
