QuestionsandAnswersAboutSafety Belts

Q: WillIbetrappedinthevehicleafteracrashifl amwearingasafetybelt?

A: You could be — whether you are wearing a safety beltornot. But your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. And you can unbuckle as safety belt, even if you are upsidedown.

Q: If my vehicle has air bags, why should have to wear safety belts?

A: Airbagsaresupplementalsystemsonly; sothey workwithsafetybelts—notinsteadofthem. Whetherornotanairbagisprovided, allooccupants stillhavetobuckleuptogetthemostprotection. Thatistruenotonlyinfrontalcollisions, but especiallyinsideandothercollisions.

Q: Iflamagooddriver, and lneverdrivefar from home, why shouldl wears safety belts?

A: You maybe an excellent driver, but if you are a crash—even on that is not your fault—you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as baddrivers.

HowtoWearSafetyBeltsProperly

Thissectionisonlyforpeopleofadultsize.

Beaware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and infants. If child will be residing in the vehicle, see Older Children on page 2-32 or Infants and Young Children on page 2-35. Follow those rules for everyone's protection.

It is very important for all occupantstobuckleup. Statistics show that unbelted people are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.

Occupantswhoarenotbuckledupcanbethrownoutof thevehicleinacrash.Andtheycanstrikeothersinthe vehiclewhoarewearingsafetybelts.

First, before you or your passenger(s) wear as safety belt, there is important information you should know.

Situpstraightandalwayskeepyourfeetonthefloor infrontofyou. Thelappartofthebeltshouldbeworn lowandsnugonthehips, justtouchingthethighs.

Inacrash, this applies for cetofestrongpelvicbones and you would be less likely to slide under the lapbelt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These part of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.

Lap-ShoulderBelt

Allseatingpositionsinthevehiclehavea lap-shoulderbelt.

If you are using a rearseating position with a detachable safety belt and the safety belt is not attached, see Rear Seat Operation (Sedan) on page 2-8 or Rear Seat Operation (Hatchback) on page 2-10 for instruction on reconnecting the safety belt to themini-buckle.

The following instructionsexplainhowtoweara lap-shoulderbeltproperly.

1. Adjusttheseat, if theseatisadjustable, so you cansitupstraight. Toseehow, see "Seats" in the Index.

2. Pickup the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Donotletit gettwisted.

SafetyBeltPretensioners

This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the safety belt assembly. They can help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal or near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When as safety belt is worn properly, it is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belt effective is wearing them properly.

Q:Whatistheproperwaytowearsafetybelts?

A: Anolderchildshouldwearalap-shoulderbelt and gettheadditionalrestraintashoulderbelt can provide. Theshoulderbelt should not cross the face or neck. Thelap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies belt for ceto the child's pelvic bones in acrash. It should never beworn over the abdomen, which could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in acrash.

According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in therearseating position than in the front seating positions.

Inacrash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older children need to use safety belts properly.

Q: Whatarethedifferenttypesofadd-onchild restraints?

A: Add-onchildrestraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of particular restraints should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used.

Formostbasictypesofchildrestraints,thereare manydifferentmodelsavailable.Whenpurchasinga childrestraint,besureitisdesignedtobeusedina motorvehicle.Ifitis,therestraintwillhavealabel sayingthatitmeetsfederalmotorvehiclesafety standards.

Therestraint manufacturer's instruction that comewith therestraint state the weight and height limitations for particular child restraint. In addition, there are many kind so frestraints available for children with special needs.

WARNING:

Toreducetheriskofneckandheadinjuryduring acrash,infantsneedcompletesupport. This is because an infant's neck is not fully developed and its head weighssomuch compared with therestofitsbody. In acrash, an infantina rear-facing child restraint settles into the restraint, sothecrash forces can be distributed across the strongest part of an infant's body, the back and shoulders.

If your vehicle has seat-mounted side impact air bags for the driver and right front passenger, they are in the side of these seat backs closest to the door.

WARNING:

If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury overvendeath. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear. Donot put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and donot attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on near any other airbag covering.

However, they areonlydesignedtoinflateiftheimpactexceedsa predetermineddeploymentthreshold. Deployment thresholdsareusedtopredicthowsevereacrashis likelytobeintimefortheairbagstoinflateandhelp restraintheoccupants.

Whether your frontal air bags will or should deploy is not based on how fast your vehicle is traveling. It depends largely on what you hit, the direction of the impact, and how quickly your vehicles slows down.

Frontalairbagsmayinflateatdifferentcrashspeeds. Forexample:

• Ifthevehiclehitsastationaryobject, theairbags could inflate at adifferentcrash speed than if the vehiclehitsamoving object.

• Ifthevehiclegoesintoanobjectatanangle,the airbagscouldinflateatadifferentcrashspeed thanifthevehiclegoesstraightintotheobject.

Thresholdscanalsovarywithspecificvehicledesign.

Inaddition, your vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust therestraint according to crash severity. Your vehicle has electronic frontal sensors, which help the sensingsystemdistinguish between amoderate frontal impact and amoresevere frontal impact. Formoderate frontal impacts, dual-stage airbags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

Frontalairbagsarenotintendedtoinflateduringvehicle rollovers, rearimpacts, orinmanysideimpacts.

The vehicle may inform any to have an impact air bags. See Airbag System on page 2-58. Seat-mounted side impact air bags are intended to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes. Seat-mounted side impact air bags will inflate if the crash severity is above the system's designed threshold level. The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle design.

Seat-mountedsideimpactairbagsarenotintendedto inflateinfrontalimpacts, near-frontalimpacts, rollovers, orrearimpacts. Aseat-mountedsideimpactairbagis intendedtodeployonthesideofthevehiclethatis struck.

AddingEquipmenttoYour Airbag-EquippedVehicle

Q: Isthereanythinglmightaddtoorchangeabout thevehiclethatcouldkeeptheairbagsfrom workingproperly?

A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle's frame, bumpersystem, height, front orderside sheet metal, they may keep the air bags system from working properly. Changingormoving any parts of the front seats, safety belts, the air bags sensing and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel, frontsensors, or air bag wiring can affect the operation of the air bags system. In addition, the vehicle has a passengers sensing system for the right front passenger position, which includes sensor that are part of the passenger seat. The passengersingsystem may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced with non-GM covers, upholstery ortrim, or with GM covers, upholstery ortrim designed for different vehicle. Any object, such as an after market seat heater or comforten Enhancing pador device, installed under or on top of these at fabric, could also interfere with the operation of the passenger

sensingsystem. This could either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag(s) or prevent the passengers sensing system from properly turning off the passenger airbag(s). See Passenger Sensing System page 2-65.

If you have any questions about this, you should contact Customer Assistance before you modify your vehicle. The phonenumbers and addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure in this manual. See Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 8-2.

Q: Because I have adisability, I have to get my vehicle modified. How can find out whether this will affect my air bags system?

A: If you have questions, call Customer Assistance. The phonenumbers and addresses for Customer Assistance are in Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction Procedure in this manual. See Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 8-2.

Inaddition, your dealer/retailer and the servicemanual have information about the location of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module and airbag wiring.

Enginecrankingcanbestoppedbyturningthe ignitionkeytoACC/ACCESSORYorLOCK/OFF.

Notice: Holding the key in START for longer than 15 seconds at at timewill causethe battery to be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage the starter motor. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining the battery or damaging the starter.

1. If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds and try again. Wait about 15 seconds between each try.

Whentheenginehasrunabout10secondsto warmup,thevehicleisreadytobedriven.Donot runtheengineathighspeedwhenitiscold.

If the weather is below freezing (0°C or 32°F), let the engineer unforafew minutestowarmup.

1. If the engine still will not start, or starts but then stops, it could be flooded with to much gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or six seconds. This clear the extragaline from the engine.

Notice: The engine is designed to work with the electronics in the vehicle. If electrical parts or accessories are added, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer/retailer. If you do not, the engine might not perform properly. Any resulting damage would not be recovered by the vehicle warranty.

AutomaticTransmissionOperation

PR ND₄ 2 1

If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, the shift lever is located on the console between these seats.

Movementbetween certain positions requires pushing therelease button on the front of the shifter.

P(Park): This position lock the front wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because the vehicle cannot move easily.

WARNING:

It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll.

Donotleavethevehiclewhentheengineis runningunlessyouhaveto.Ifyouhaveleftthe engineerunning,thevehiclecanmovesuddenly. Youorotherscouldbeinjured.Tobesurethe vehiclewillnotmove,evenwhenyouareonfairly levelground,alwayssettheparkingbrakeand movetheshiftlevertoP(Park).SeeShiftingInto Park(AutomaticTransmission)onpage3-28.

Ensure that the shift lever is fully in P (Park) before starting the engine. The vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock control system. You have to apply the brake pedal before you can shift from P (Park) when the key is on ON/RUN. If you cannot shift out of P (Park) while holding the brake pedal down, see Shifting Out of Park on page 3-30.

R(Reverse): Usethisgeartobackup.

Notice: Shifting out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engineer running at high speed may damage the transmission. There pairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Besure the engine is not running at high speed when shifting the vehicle.

D4(AutomaticOverdrive): Thispositionisfornormal driving.

When operating the vehicle in severe cold conditions, the transmission may be prevented from shifting into D4 gear until the transmission fluid has warmed up to its operational temperature.

Notice: If the vehicle seem to start up rather slowly or not shift gears when you go faster, and you continue to drivethe vehicle that way, you could damage the transmission. Have the vehicle serviced right away. You can drive in 2 (Second) when you are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and D4 (Automatic Overdrive) for higher speeds until then.

2(Second): This position gives you more power but lower fueleconomy. You can use 2 (Second) on hills. It can help control vehicles speed a young godown steep mountain roads, while using the brakes off and on.

Notice: Donotdrivein2(Second)atspeeds over65mph(105km/h), oryoucandamagethe transmission. UseD4(AutomaticOverdrive) as muchas possible. Donotshiftinto2(Second) unless you are goingslowerthan65mph(105km/h) oryoucandamagetheengine.

AntilockBrakeSystem(ABS)

The vehicle might have the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent abrakingskid.

If the vehicle has ABS, this warning light comes on briefly when the vehicle is started.

Thewheelscanstoprolling.Oncetheydo,thevehicle cannotrespondtothedriver'ssteering.Momentumwill carryitinwhateverdirectionitwasheadedwhenthe wheelsstoppedrolling.Thatcouldbeofftheroad,into theverythingthedriverwastryingtoavoid,orinto traffic.

If the vehicle does not have ABS, use a "squeeze" braking technique. This gives maximum braking while maintaining steering control. Do this bypassing on the brake pedal with steadily increasing pressure.

Inanemergency, you will probably want to queue the brakes hard without locking the wheels. If you hear or feel the wheel sliding, ease off the brake pedal. This helps retain steering control. With ABS, it is different. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) on page 5-4.

In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the every best braking.

Steering

PowerSteering

If power steering assistis lost because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort.

These problemscanbeavoidedbybraking—ifyoucanstop intime.Butsometimesyoucannotstopintimebecause thereisnoroom.Thatisthetimeforevasive action—steeringaroundtheproblem.

The vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply the brakes—but, unless the vehicle has antilock brakes, not enough to lock the wheels. See Braking on page 5-3 . It is better to remove as much speed as possible from a collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available.

Line drawing of a person driving a car with steering wheel and dashboard (no text or symbols)

Anemergencylikethisrequirescloseattentionanda quickdecision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 30' clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you haveto act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straight the wheel once you have avoided the object.

The fact that such a chemergency situations are always possible, is good because to practice defensive driving at all times and wears safety belts properly.

WhattoUse

WARNING:

Addingonlyplainwatertothecoolingsystem canbedangerous. Plainwater, or some other liquids such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant mixture will. The vehicle's coolant warning system is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain water or the wrong mixture, the engine could get too hot but you would not get the overheat warning. The engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL ^ coolant.

BrakeAdjustment

Everymoderatebrakestop, the disc brakes adjust for wear. If rarely making moderate or heavier brake stops, the brakes might not adjust correctly. Very carefully making a few moderate brake stops about every 1600 km (1,000 miles) will adjust the brakes properly.

If the vehicle has reardrum brakes and the brake pedal goes down farther than normal, there are drum brakes might need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times.

If you donot follow these step exactly, some or allof the things can hurt you.

Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to the vehicle that would not be recovered by the warranty.

Trying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it will not work, and it could damage the vehicle.

1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with an negative ground system.

Notice: If the other vehicle's system is not a 12-volt system with an negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-voltsystems with negative ground to jump start your vehicle.

1. Getthevehiclescloseenoughsothejumper cablescanreach, but besurethevehiclesarenot touchingeachother. If they are, it could cause a groundconnection you donot want. You would not be able to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical systems.

To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in the jump start procedure. Put an automatic transmission in P (Park) or a manual transmission in N (Neutral) before setting the parking brake.

Notice: If you leave a radio or other accessories on during the jump starting procedure, they could be damaged. There pairs would not be covered by the warranty. Always turn off the radio and other accessories when jump starting the vehicle.

TirePressureMonitorSystem

The TirePressureMonitorSystem(TPMS)usesradio andsensortechnologytochecktirepressurelevels. The TPMSsensorsmonitortheairpressureinyour vehicle'stiresandtransmittirepressurereadingstoa receiverlocatedinthevehicle.

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placardortire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle hastires of different sizes than the size indicated on the vehicle placardortire inflation pressure label, you should determin the property inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with atire pressure monitorings system (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, whenthelowtirepressuretelltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and in flat the them to the proper pressure. Driving on significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflationalsoreduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

TirePressureMonitorOperation

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when allow tire pressure condition exists. If your vehicle has this feature, the TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's tires and transmittire pressurereading to are receiver located in the vehicle.

Notice: Liquidtiresealants could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors. Sensor damage caused by using atiresealant is not covered by your warranty. Donotus liquid tire sealants.

TPMSMalfunctionLight

The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the system detects a malfunction, the low tire warning light flashes for about ten minutes and then stay on for the remainder of the ignition cycle. The low tire warning light comes on at each ignition cycle until the problem is corrected. Some of the condition that can cause the malfunction light to come on are:

• Oneoftheroadtireshasbeenreplacedwiththe spare tire. Thespare tiredoesnothaveaTPMS sensor. The TPMSmalfunctionlightshouldgooff onceyoure-installtheroadtirecontaining the TPMSsensor.

• OneormoreTPMSsensorsaremissingor damaged. The TPMSmalfunctionlight should gooffwhentheTPMSsensorsareinstalled andthesensormatchingprocessisperformed successfully. Seeyourdealer/retailerforservice.

WhenItlsTimeforNewTires

Various factors, such as maintenance, temperatures, drivingspeeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions influence when you need new tires.

Therubberintiresdegradesovertime, even if they are not being used. This is also true for the spare tire, if your vehicle has one. Multiple conditions affect how fast this aging takes place, including temperatures, loading conditions, and inflation pressure maintenance. With proper care and maintenance tires will typically wear out before they degraded due to age. If you are unsure about the need to replace your tires as they get older, consult the tire manufacturer form more information.

BuyingNewTires

GMhasdevelopedandmatchedspecifictiresforyour vehicle. If you need replacement tires, GM strongly recommend that you get tired that are the same size, brand, load range, speed rating, and construction type (radial and bias-belted tires) as your vehicle's original tires. This way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are designed to give the same performance and vehicles safety, during normal use, asthe original tires. See Tire Sidewall Labeling on page 6-52 for additional information.

Treadwear200TractionAATemperatureA

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which gradestires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to depth bread, winter-type snowtires, space-saver, or temporary uses spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosome limited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passenger cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements.

All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements In Addition To These Grades.

Treadwear

Thetreadweargradeisacomparativerating basedonthewearrateofthetirewhentested undercontrolledconditionsonaspecified governmenttestcourse. Forexample, atire graded 150 would wearone and a half (1½) times as well on the government course as atire graded 100. Thereative performance of tires depends upon the actual condition so their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm duetovariations indriving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction—AA,A,B,C

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions specified government tests surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Atiremarked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: Thetraction grade assigned to histidine is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature—A,B,C

ThetemperaturegradesareA(thehighest),B, andC,representingthetire'sresistancetothe generationofheatanditsabilitytodissipateheat whentestedundercontrolledconditionsa specifiedindoorlaboratorytestwheel.Sustained hightemperaturecancausethematerialofthe tiretodegenerateandreducetirelife,and excessive temperature can lead to suddentire failure.Thegrade C correspondstoalevel of performance which all passenger cartires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109.Grades Band Are present higher level sof performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: Thetemperature grade for histire is established for atire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessivespeed, under inflation, orexcessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat build up and possible tirefailure.

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, or Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors, replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, and TPMS sensors for your vehicle.

⚠ WARNING:

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nut on your vehicle can be dangerous. It could affect the braking and handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you lose control. You could have a collision in which you or others could be injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement.

Notice: The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or odometer calibration, headlampaim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.

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 your rights.

STEPTHREE—CanadianOwners: Intheevent that you donot feelyourconcernshavebeen addressed after following the procedure outlined in Steps 1 and 2, General Motors of Canada Limited wants youtobe aware of its participation in nano-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.

CollisionDamageRepair

If your vehicle is involved in a collision and it is damaged, havethedamagerepaired by a qualified technician using the properequipment and quality replacement parts. Poorly performed collision repairs diminish your vehicle's resale value, and safety performance can be compromised in subsequent collisions.

CollisionParts

GenuineGMCollisionpartsareyourbestchoiceto ensurethatyourvehicle'sdesignedappearance, durability,andsafetyarepreserved. Theuseof GenuineGMpartscanhelpmaintainyourGMNew VehicleWarranty.

Such partsarenotcoveredbyyourGMNewVehicleLimited Warranty, andanyrelatedfailuresarenotcoveredby thatwarranty.

Aftermarketcollisionpartsarealsoavailable. These are made by companies other than GM and may not have been tested for your vehicle. As a result, these parts may fit poorly, exhibit premature durability/corrosion problems, and may not perform properly in subsequent collisions. After market parts are not covered by your GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any vehicle failure related to such parts are not covered by that warranty.

InsuringYourVehicle

Protect your investment in your 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 provided reduced protection to your GM vehicle by limiting compensation for damage repairs by using aftermarket collision parts. Some insurance companies will not specify aftermarket collision parts. When purchasing insurance, we recommend that you assure your vehicle will be repaired with GM original equipment collision parts. If such insurance coverage is not available from your current insurance carrier, considers switching to another insurance carrier.

If your vehicle is leased, the leasing company may require you to have insurance that assures repairs with Genuine GM Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or Genuine Manufacturer replacement parts. Ready your lease carefully, as you maybe charged at the end of your lease for poor quality repairs.
