Frequently Asked Questions - Regal (2011) Buick

How do I reset the engine oil life system?

Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off. Press the DIC menu button on the turn signal lever to enter Vehicle Information Menu. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to REMAINING OIL LIFE. Press SET/CLR to reset to 100%. Turn ignition to LOCK/OFF.

How do I pair my phone via Bluetooth?

Press the CONFIG button, select Phone, then Pair Device. Follow the prompts on the infotainment screen. Ensure your phone is discoverable. The vehicle will search and display a PIN; confirm on both devices.

How do I use cruise control?

Press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to turn it on. Accelerate to desired speed, then move the thumbwheel down to SET/-. Use RES/+ to resume or increase speed, and move thumbwheel up to accelerate. Press the button again to cancel.

How do I adjust the driver seat?

For manual seats: pull the handle under the front of the seat cushion to slide; use the height adjustment switch for height; use the lever on the outboard side to recline. For power seats: use the control on the side of the seat to move forward/rearward, raise/lower front or rear, and tilt the seatback.

How does the sunroof work?

The sunroof operates only when the ignition is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. Press the open/close switch to the first detent for manual operation, or to the second detent for express open/close. The tilt switch operates the vent position. Anti-pinch feature will stop and reverse the sunroof if an obstruction is detected.

How do I check tire pressure?

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) provides a warning light on the instrument cluster if tire pressure is low. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver door for recommended pressure. Use a tire gauge to manually check and inflate as needed.

How do I lock/unlock the doors with the remote?

Press the lock button to lock all doors; press the unlock button to unlock the driver door or all doors (depending on personalization). The transmitter works up to 20 m (65 ft). The fuel door locks with the doors.

How do I fold the rear seats?

Ensure the vehicle is parked. Unbuckle the rear safety belts and ensure they are not twisted. Pull the lever on top of the seatback to unlock it, then fold the seatback down. To raise, lift the seatback and push it rearward until it locks; check that the safety belt is not caught.

How do I use the Ultrasonic Parking Assist?

The system operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). Sensors on the rear bumper detect objects and provide audio beeps. Press the parking assist button located next to the radio to disable or enable the system. Keep the sensors clean for proper operation.

How do I use OnStar?

QuestionsandAnswersAbout SafetyBelts

Q: Willlbetrappedinthevehicle afteracrashiflamwearinga safetybelt?

A: You could be—whether you are wearing as safety belt not. 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: Airbagsaresupplemental systemsonly; sotheyworkwith safetybelts—notinsteadof them. Whetherornotanairbag isprovided, allooccupantsstill havetobuckleuptogetthe mostprotection. Thatistruenot onlyinfrontalcollisions, but especiallyinsideandother collisions.

Q: Iflamagooddriver, and I neverdrivefarfromhome, whyshouldlwearsafety belts?

A: You may bean excellent driver, but if you are in acrash—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.

WhenShouldanAirbag Inflate?

Frontalairbagsaredesignedto inflateinmoderatetoseverefrontal ornearfrontalcrashestohelp reducethepotentialforsevere injuriesmainlytothedriver'sorright frontpassenger'sheadandchest. However,theyareonlydesignedto inflateiftheimpactexceedsa predetermineddeployment threshold.Deploymentthresholds areusedtopredicthowseverea crashislikelytobeintimeforthe airbagstoinflateandhelprestrain theoccupants.

Whether the 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.

Frontalairbagsmayinflateat differentcrashspeeds. For example:

• If the vehicle hits stationary object, the air bags could inflate at different crash speed than if the vehicle hits moving object.
• Ifthevehiclehitsanobjectthat deforms,theairbagscould inflateatadifferentcrashspeed thanifthevehiclehitsanobject thatdoesnotdeform.
• Ifthevehiclehitsanarrowobject (likeapole), theairbags could inflate at different crash speed than if the vehicle hits a wide object (likeawall).
• Ifthevehiclegoesintoanobject atanangle, theairbags could inflate at different crash speed than if the vehiclegoes straight into the object.

Thresholdscanalsovarywith specificvehicledesign.

Frontalairbagsarenotintendedto inflateduringvehiclerollovers, rear impacts, orinmanysideimpacts.

Inaddition, the vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity. The vehicle has electronic frontal sensors, which help the sensing system distinguish between a moderate frontal impact and more severe frontal impact. Form moderate frontal impacts, dual-stage airbags inflate at level less than full deployment. Form more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

The vehicle has seat-mounted side impact and roof-rail airbags. See Airbag System on page 3-27. Seat-mounted side impact and roof-rail air bags are intended to inflate in moderate to severe crashes. In addition, the seroof-rail air bags are intended to inflate during a rollover or inasevere frontal impact. Seat-mounted side impact and roof-rail air bags will

inflateifthecrashseverityisabove thesystem'sdesignedthreshold level. Thethresholdlevelcanvary withspecificvehicledesign.

Forfrontalairbags, inflationis determinedbywhatthevehiclehits, theangleoftheimpact,andhow quicklythevehicleslowsdown. Forseat-mountedsideimpactand roof-railairbags, deploymentis determinedbythelocationand severityofthesideimpact.

Q: Whatarethedifferenttypes of add-onchildrestraints?

A: Add-onchildrestraints, which are purchased by the vehicle owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint 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. Formost basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure its designed to be used in amotor vehicle. Ifitis, the restraint will have alabels saying that it meets federal motor vehicles safety standards.

WARNING

Toreducetheriskofneck and head injury during acrash, infants need completes support. This is because an infant's neck is not fully developed and its head weighssomuch compared with therestofits body. In acrash, an infant in a rear-facing child restraint settles into the restraint, so the crash forces can be distributed across the strongest part of an infant's body, the back and shoulders. Infant should always be secured in rear-facing child restraints.

EmissionsInspection and MaintenancePrograms

Somestate/provincialandlocal governmentsmayhaveprograms toinspecttheon-vehicleemission controlequipment. Forthe inspection, theemissionsystem testequipmentisconnected tothevehicle'sDataLink Connector(DLC).

Technical line drawing of a connector housing (no text or symbols)

The DLC is under the instrument panel near the steering wheel. See your dealer if assistance is needed.

The vehicle may not pass inspection if:

• Themalfunctionindicatorlampis onwiththeengine running, orif the light does not come on when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN while the engine is off.
• The critical emission control system shavenot been completely diagnosed by the system. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced if the battery has run down. The diagnostics system evaluates critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several day so fronted driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection, your dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection.

ControlofaVehicle

The following three systems helpto control the vehicle while driving—brakes, steering, and accelerator. Attimes, as when driving on snow orice, it is easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires and road can provide. Meaning, you can lose control of the vehicle. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 9-34.

Adding non-dealer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 10-3.

Braking

SeeBrakeSystemWarningLighton page5-16.

Brakingactioninvolvesperception timeandreactiontime.Deciding topushthebrakepedalis perceptiontime.Actuallydoing itsreactiontime.

Averagereactiontimeisabout three-fourthsofasecond. Butthatis onlyanaverage. It might be less with one driver and as longast two or three seconds more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesightall play apart. Sodo alcohol, drugs, and frustration. Butevenin three-fourth sofa second, a vehicle moving at 100km/h (60mph) travels 20m (66ft). That could be a lot of distance in an emergency, so keeping enough space between the vehicle and others is important.

And, of course, actual stopping distances vary greatly with the surface of the road, whether itis pavement or gravel; the condition of the road, whether itis wet, dry, or icy; tiretread; the condition of the brakes; the weight of the vehicle; and the amount of brake force applied.

Avoidneedlessheavy braking.Somepeopledrivein spurts—heavyacceleration followedbyheavybraking—rather thankeepingpacewithtraffic.This isamistake.Thebrakesmightnot havetimetocoolbetweenhard stops.Thebrakeswillwearout muchfasterwithalotofheavy braking.Keepingpacewiththe trafficandallowingrealisticfollowing distanceseliminatesalotof unnecessarybraking.Thatmeans betterbrakingandlongerbrakelife.

Adding non-dealer accessories can affect vehicle performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 10-3.

Steering

PowerSteering

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

SpeedVariableAssistSteering

Some vehicles have aesteering system that variesthe amount of effort required to steer the vehicle in relation to the speed of the vehicle.

The amount of steering effort required less at slowers speeds to make the vehicle more maneuverable and asiertopark. At fasters speeds, the steering effort increases to provide asport-like feeling to the steering. This provides maximum control and stability.

The vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply the brakes. See Braking on page 9-3. 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.

TireandLoadingInformation Label

LabelExample

Avehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the vehicle's centerpillar(B-pillar). With the driver door open, you will find the label attached below the door lock post.

The Tire and Loading Information label shows the number of occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the tiresize of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). Formore information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 10-42 and Tire Pressure on page 10-49.

Thereisalsoimportantloading informationontheCertification label.IttellsyoutheGross VehicleWeightRating(GVWR) andtheGrossAxleWeight Rating(GAWR)forthefrontand rearaxle.See“Certification Label”laterinthissection.

StepsforDeterminingCorrect LoadLimit

1. Locatethestatement "Thecombinedweight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXXkgor XXXlbs" on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determinethecombined weightofthedriverand passengersthatwillberiding inyourvehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgor XXXlbs.

BrakeAssist

This vehicle has a brake assist feature designed to assist the driver instopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brakesystem under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedalinan attempt to quickly stoporslowdown the vehicle.

Thebrakeassistfeaturewill automaticallydisengagewhen thebrakepedalisreleasedor brakepedalpressureisquickly decreased.

HillStartAssist(HSA)

Some vehicles have a Hill Start Assist (HSA) feature, which maybe useful when the vehicle is stopped on a grade. This feature is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling, either forward or rearward, during vehicle drive off. After the driver completely stops and holds the vehicle in a complete stand still on a grade, HSA will be automatically activated. During the transition period between whent hdriver releases the brake pedaland starts to accelerate to drive off on a grade, HSA hold the braking pressure to ensure that there is nor rolling. The brakes will automatically release when the accelerator pedal is applied within the two-second window. It will not activate if the vehicle is in a drive gear and facing downhill or if the vehicle is facing uphill and in R (Reverse).

• Alwaysuseengineoilapproved totheproperspecificationandof theproperviscositygrade.See "SelectingtheRightEngineOil" inthissection.
• Checktheengineoillevel regularlyandmaintainthe properoillevel.See"Checking EngineOil"and"WhentoAdd EngineOil"inthissection.
• Changetheengineoilatthe appropriatetime.SeeEngineOil LifeSystemonpage10-13.

- Always dispose of engine oil properly. See "What to Dow with Used Oil" in this section.

Obtaininganaccurateoillevel readingisessential:

1. If the engine has been running recently, turn off the engine and allow several minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. Checking the oil level too soon after engines hutoff will not provide an accurate oil level reading.

2. Pulloutthedipstickandcleanit withapapertowelorcloth,then pushitbackinalltheway. Removeitagain,keepingthetip down,andcheckthelevel.

WhentoAddEngineOil

If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick, add 1L(1qt) of there recommended oil and then recheck the level. See "Selecting the Right Engine Oil" in this section for an explanation of what kind of oil to use Forengine oil crank case capacity, see Capacities and Specifications on page 12-2.

Notice: Donotaddtoomuchoil. Oil levels above or below the acceptable operating range shown on the dipstick are harmful to the engine. If you find that you have an oil level above the operating range, i.e., the engine hassomuchoil that the oil level gets above the cross-hatched are that show the proper operating range, the engine could be damaged. You should drain out the excess oil limit driving of the vehicle and seek as service professional to remove the excess amount of oil.

Specification(Except2.0LTurbo Engine)

Use and ask forengine oil with the dexos ^™ certification mark. Oils meeting therequirements of the vehicles should havethed dexos certification mark on the container. This certification mark indicates that the oil has been approved to the dexos specification.

This vehicle was filled at the factory with dexos-approved engine oil.

Notice: Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification or an equivalent engine oil of the appropriate viscosity grade. Engine oils approved to the dexos specification will show the dexos symbol on the container. Failure tousetherecommended engine oil equivalent can result in engined damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. If you are unsure whether the oil is approved to the dexos specification, ask your service provider.

ColdTemperatureOperation:Inan areaofextremecold,wherethe temperaturefallsbelow-29°C

(-20°F), an SAE0W-30 oil should be used. Anoil of this viscosity gradewill provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. Whenselecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, besure to always select an oil that meet there required specification, dexos. See "Specification" earlier in this section form more information.

EngineOilLifeSystem

WhentoChangeEngineOil

This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on a combination of factors which include engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil ifesystemtowork properly, the system must be set every time the oil is changed.

Whenthesystemhascalculated thatoillifehasbeendiminished, it indicates thatanoilchangeis necessary. ACHANGEENGINE OILSOONmessagecomeson.See EngineOilMessagesonpage5-28. Changetheoilassoonaspossible withinthenext1000km(600mi). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might indicate that a noil change is not necessary for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must

bechangedatleastonceayear and,atthistime,thesystemmust bereset. Yourdealerhastrained servicepeoplewhowillperformthis workandresetthesystem.Itisalso importanttochecktheoilregularly overthecourseofanoildrain intervalandkeepitattheproper level.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5000 km (3,000 mi) sincethelast oil change. Remembertoreset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed.

ElectricalSystem Overload

The vehicle has fuses and circuit breaker stop protect against electrical system overload.

Whenthecurrentelectricalloadis tooheavy, the circuitbreakeropens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load return to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems.

Fusesandcircuitbreakersprotect powerdevicesinthevehicle.

TirePressure

Tiresneedthecorrectamountof airpressuretooperate effectively.

Notice: Neithertire underinflationnor overinflationisgood. Underinflatedtires, ortires thatdonothaveenoughair, canresultin:

• Tireoverloading and overheating which could lead to ablowout.
  • Prematureor irregularwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Reducedfueleconomy.

Overinflatedtires, ortiresthat havetoomuchair, can resultin:

• Unusualwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Roughride.
• Needlessdamagefrom roadhazards.

The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicates the originale equipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum loadcarrying capacity.

For additional information regarding how much weight the vehicle can carry, and an example of the Tire and Loading Information label, see Vehicle Load Limit on page 9-12. How the vehicle is loaded affects

vehiclehandlingandride comfort. Neverloadthevehicle withmoreweightthanitwas designedtocarry.

WhentoCheck

Checkthetiresonceamonthor more. Donotforgetthecompact sparetire, if the vehicle has one. The compact spa should be beat 420kPa (60psi). For additional information regarding the compact sparetire, see Compact Spare Tire on page 10-69.

HowtoCheck

Useagoodqualitypocket-type gaugetochecktirepressure. Propertireinflationcannotbe determinedbylookingatthetire. Checkthetireinflationpressure whenthetiresarecold,meaning thevehiclehasnotbeendriven foratleastthreehoursorno morethan1.6km(1mi).

TirePressureMonitor System

The TirePressureMonitorSystem (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and transmit tire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

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 has tires of different sizing thanthesize indicated on the vehicle placardor tire inflation pressure label, you should determinethe propertire inflation pressure forthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates alowtire

pressuretelltalewhenoneor moreofyourtiresissignificantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, whenthelowtire pressuretelltaleilluminates, you shouldstopandcheckyourtiresas soonaspossible, andinflatethem totheproperpressure. Drivingon asignificantlyunder-inflatedtire causesthetiretooverheatandcan leadtotirefailure. Under-inflation alsoreducesfuelefficiencyandtire treadlife, andmayaffectthe vehicle'shandlingandstopping ability.

PleasenotethattheTPMSis notasubstituteforpropertire maintenance, anditisthedriver's responsibility to maintain incorrect tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMSlow tire pressure telltale.

Yourvehiclehasalsobeen equippedwithaTPMSmalfunction indicatortoindicatewhenthe systemisnotoperatingproperly.

The TPMSmalfunctionindicatoris combined with the low tire pressure telltale. Whenthesystemdetectsa malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long asthemalfunction exists.

Whenthemalfunctionindicatoris illuminated, thesystemmaynotbe abletodetectorsignallowtire pressureasintended.TPMS malfunctionsmayoccurforvariety ofreasons, includingtheinstallation ofreplacementoralternatetiresor wheelsonthevehiclethatprevent theTPMSfromfunctioningproperly.

TirePressureMonitor Operation

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when alow tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted on to each tire and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmit the tire pressurereading to are receiver located in the vehicle.

Whenalowtirepressurecondition isdetected,theTPMSilluminates thelowtirepressurewarninglight locatedontheinstrumentcluster. Ifthewarninglightcomeson,stop as soonaspossibleandinflatethe tirestotherecommendedpressure shownontheTireandLoading Informationlabel.SeeVehicleLoad Limitsonpage9-12.

TPMSMalfunctionLightand Message

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 pressure warning light flashes for about one minute and then stay on for their remainder of the ignition cycle. ADIC warning message alsodisplays. The malfunction light and DIC warning message come on at each ignition cycle until the problem is corrected.

Someoftheconditionsthatcan causethesetocomeonare:

• Oneoftheroadtireshasbeen replacedwiththesparetire. Thesparetiredoesnothavea TPMSsensor. Themalfunction lightandtheDICmessage shouldgooffaftertheroadtire isreplacedandthesensor matchingprocessisperformed successfully. See "TPMSSensor MatchingProcess" laterinthis section.

GM's exclusive TPCSpec system considers over a dozen critical specification that impact the overall performance of the vehicle, including brakesystem performance, ride and handling, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring performance. GM's TPCSpec number is molded onto the tire's sidewall near the tiresize. If the tires have an all-season tread design, the TPCSpec number will be followed by MS form mud and snow.

UniformTireQuality Grading

Qualitygradescanbefound whereapplicableonthetire sidewallbetweentreadshoulder andmaximumsectionwidth. For example:

Treadwear200TractionAA TemperatureA

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA), which gradestires bytreadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle less sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger cartires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to deep tread, winter - types now tires, space-saver, or temporary usespareties, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosomelimited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passengers cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

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

Treadwear

Thetreadweargradeisa comparativeratingbasedon the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled condition as specified government test course. Forexample, atiregraded 150 would wear one and half (1½) times as well on the government course as atire graded 100. Thereative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm duetovariations in driving 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 condition on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. At remarked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to histire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Temperature—A,B,C

Thetemperaturegrades areA(thehighest),B,andC, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when

testedundercontrolled conditionsonaspecifiedindoor laboratorytestwheel.Sustained hightemperaturecancausethe materialofthetiretodegenerate andreducetirelife,and excessivetemperaturecan leadtosuddentirefailure.The gradeCcorrespondstoalevel ofperformancewhichall passengercartiresmustmeet undertheFederalMotorSafety StandardNo.109.GradesBand Arepresenthigherlevelsof performanceonthelaboratory testwheelthanthemminimum requiredbylaw.Warning:The temperaturegradeforthistireis establishedforatirethatis properlyinflatedandnot overloaded.Excessivespeed, underinflation,orexcessive loading,eitherseparatelyorin combination,cancauseheat buildupandpossibletirefailure.

CollisionDamageRepair

If the vehicle is involved a collision and it is damaged, have the damage repaired by a qualified technician using the proper equipment and quality replacement parts. Poorly performed collision repairs diminish the vehicular resale value, and safety performance can be compromised in subsequent collisions.

CollisionParts

Asaresult, thesepartsmayfit poorly, exhibitprematuredurability/corrosionproblems, and may not performproperlyin subsequent collisions. Aftermarketpartsarenot covered by the GMNew Vehicle Limited Warranty, and any vehicle failurerelatedtosuchpartsis not covered by that warranty.

Yourdealer mayhaveacollisionrepaircenter withGM-trainedtechniciansand state-of-the-artequipment,orbe abletorecommendacollisionrepair centerthathasGM-trained techniciansandcomparable equipment.

InsuringtheVehicle

Protect your investment in the 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 provide reduced protection to the GM vehicle by limiting compensation for damagerepairs by using aftermarket collision parts. Some insurance companies will not specify aftermarket collision parts.

When purchasing insurance, we recommend that you ensure that the vehicle will berepaired with GM originalequipment collision parts. If such insurance coverage is not available from your current insurance carrier, considers switching to another insurance carrier.

Ifthevehicleisleased,theleasing companymayrequireyoutohave insurancethatensuresrepairswith GenuineGMOriginalEquipment Manufacturer(OEM)partsor GenuineManufacturerreplacement parts.Readtheleasecarefully,as youmaybechargedattheendof theleaseforpoorqualityrepairs.
