For detailed information concerning specific partscovered by these emission control system warranties,ask your dealer.

Replacement PartsThe emission control systems of your vehicle weredesigned, built, and tested using genuine GM parts*and the vehicle is certified as being in conformity withapplicable federal and California emission requirements.Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacementparts used for maintenance or for the repair ofemission control systems be new, genuine GM parts.

The warranty obligations are not dependent uponthe use of any particular brand of replacement parts.The owner may elect to use non-genuine GM partsfor replacement purposes. Use of replacement partswhich are not of equivalent quality may impair theeffectiveness of emission control systems.

If other than new, genuine GM parts are used formaintenance replacements or for the repair of partsaffecting emission control, the owner should assurehimself/herself that such parts are warranted by theirmanufacturer to be equivalent to genuine GM partsin performance and durability.

* “Genuine GM parts” when used in connection withGM vehicles means parts manufactured by or for GM,designed for use on GM vehicles, and distributed byany division or subsidiary of GM.

Maintenance and RepairsMaintenance and repairs can be performed by anyqualified service outlet; however, warranty repairsmust be performed by an authorized dealer exceptin an emergency situation when a warranted part ora warranty station is not reasonably available tothe vehicle owner.

In an emergency, where an authorized dealer is notreasonably available, repairs may be performed atany available service establishment or by the owner,using any replacement part. Cadillac will considerreimbursement for the expense incurred, includingdiagnosis, not to exceed the manufacturer’s suggestedretail price for all warranted parts replaced and laborcharges based on Cadillac’s recommended timeallowance for the warranty repair and the geographicallyappropriate labor rate.

If, in an emergency situation, it is necessary to haverepairs performed by other than a Cadillac dealerand you believe the repairs are covered by emissionwarranties, take the replaced parts and your receiptto a Cadillac dealer for reimbursement consideration.This applies to both the Federal Emission DefectWarranty and Federal Emission Performance Warranty.

Receipts and records covering the performance ofregular maintenance or emergency repairs shouldbe retained in the event questions arise concerningmaintenance. These receipts and records should betransferred to each subsequent owner. GM will notdeny warranty coverage solely on the absence ofmaintenance records. However, GM may deny awarranty claim if a failure to perform scheduledmaintenance resulted in the failure of a warranty part.

Thisshould be done as soon as possible after failing anEPA-approved I/M test or a California smog check test,or at any time you suspect a defect in a part.
