Important Message to Owners...
GM's Commitment
GM is committed to ensuring
satisfaction with your new vehicle.
Your dealer also wants you to be
completely satisfied and invites you
to return for all your service needs,
both during and after the warranty
period.
Owner Assistance
The dealer is best equipped to
provide all your vehicle's service
needs. Should you ever encounter a
problem that is not resolved during
or after the limited warranty period,
talk to a member of dealer
management. Under certain
circumstances, GM and/or GM
dealers may provide assistance
after the limited warranty period has
expired when the problem results
from a defect in material or
workmanship. These instances will
be reviewed on a case-by-case
basis. If the issue has not been
resolved to your satisfaction, follow
the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure on page 29.
We thank you for choosing GM.
GM Participation in an
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Program
See Customer Satisfaction
Procedure on page 29 for
information on the voluntary,
non-binding Alternative Dispute
Resolution Program in which GM
participates.
Warranty Service– United
States, Canada and Mexico
The selling dealer has invested in
the proper tools, training, and parts
inventory to ensure that any
necessary warranty repairs can be
1
made to your GM vehicle. GM
requests that the vehicle be
returned to the selling dealer for all
warranty repairs. If a situation or
event occurs where you are
significantly inconvenienced, an
authorized GM dealer can make the
warranty repairs. However, in the
event the dealer is not able to
perform the repair due to the special
tool and training requirements,
contact the Customer Assistance
Offices on page 34. If you are
unable to return to the selling
dealer, contact a GM dealer in the
United States, Canada, or Mexico
for warranty service.

Warranty Repairs –
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, GM may offer
exchange service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are made from previously used
components in a process that
involves disassembly, inspection,
cleaning, update of software and
replacement of parts as appropriate,
testing and reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged.

All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the types
of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, batteries, and powertrain
control modules.

reimbursable due to these
situations.
In a situation where the vehicle
owner is significantly
inconvenienced, and an authorized
dealer is not reasonably available,
repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment or
by the owner, using any
replacement part. Cadillac will
consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail
price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Cadillac's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labor rate. A part not being available
within 10 days or a repair not being
completed within 30 days
constitutes a significant
inconvenience. Retain receipts and
failed parts in order to receive
If you are in a situation where you
are significantly inconvenienced and
it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than a Cadillac
dealer and you believe the repairs
are covered by emission warranties,
take the replaced parts and your
receipt to a Cadillac dealer for
reimbursement consideration.
This applies to both the Federal
Emission Defect Warranty and
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or other repairs (such as those
outlined earlier) should be retained
in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. These
receipts and records should be
transferred to each subsequent
owner. GM will not deny warranty
coverage solely on the absence of
maintenance records. However, GM
27
may deny a warranty claim if a
failure to perform scheduled
maintenance resulted in the failure
of a warranty part.
Claims Procedure
As with the other warranties
covered in this booklet, take your
vehicle to any authorized Cadillac
dealer facility to obtain service
under the emission warranty. This
should be done as soon as possible
after failing an EPA-approved I/M
test or a California smog check test,
or at any time you suspect a defect
in a part.
Those repairs qualifying under the
warranty will be performed by any
Cadillac dealer at no charge.
Repairs which do not qualify will be
charged to you. You will be notified
as to whether or not the repair
qualifies under the warranty within a
reasonable time, not to exceed
30 days after receipt of the vehicle
by the dealer, or within the time
period required by local or state law.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Cadillac. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of your vehicle will be
resolved by your 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 TWO: If after contacting a
member of dealer management, it
appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealer without
further help contact the Cadillac
ELR Customer Assistance Center
by calling 1-855-422-3357
(1-855-4-CAD-ELR). In Canada,
contact GM of Canada Customer
Care Centre by calling
1-888-446-2000: English,
or 1-800-263-7854: French.
STEP ONE: Discuss your
concern with a member of dealer
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 dealer facility or the
general manager.
For resolution of issues related to
the Cadillac Professional Vehicle,
contact 1-800-43-FLEET
(1-800-433-5338).
We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to give
your inquiry prompt attention.
Have the following information
available to give the Customer
Assistance Representative:
.
The Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). This is available
from the vehicle registration or
title, or the plate above the top of
29
the instrument panel on the
driver side, and visible through
the windshield.
.
The dealer name and location.
.
The vehicle delivery date and
present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac,
remember that your concern will
likely be resolved at a dealer's
facility. That is why we suggest you
follow Step One first if you have a
concern.
STEP THREE: Both GM and your
GM 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
can file with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to
enforce any additional rights you
may have.

State Warranty Enforcement Laws
Laws in many states permit owners
to obtain a replacement vehicle or a
refund of the purchase price under
certain circumstances. The
provisions of these laws vary from
state to state. To the extent allowed
by state law, GM requires that you
first provide us with written
notification of any service difficulty
you have experienced so that we
have an opportunity to make any
needed repairs before you are
eligible for the remedies provided by
these laws. The address for written
notification, is in Customer
Assistance Offices on page 34.
