If the matter has already been reviewed with the Sales, Service or Parts Manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the General Manager.

Roadside Service Availability Wherever you drive in the United States or Canada, an advisor is available to assist you over the phone. A dealer technician, if available, can travel to your location within a 30 mile (50 km) radius, of a participating Cadillac dealership. If beyond this radius, we will arrange to have your car towed to the nearest Cadillac dealership. Reaching Roadside Service Dial the toll-free Roadside Service number: 1-800-882- 1 11 2.

Gold Key Courtesy Transportation One of your Cadillac Owner Privileges is Gold Key Courtesy Transportation.

Gold Key Courtesy Transportation helps you get where you need to be when your Cadillac is in for warranty service.* In Canada, please consult your GM dealer for information on Courtesy Transportation.

Transportation Options* Warranty work can frequently be handled in one day, but there is often no reason for you to wait at the dealership. Cadillac helps minimize inconvenience to you by providing several transportation options. Depending on the circumstances, your dealership can offer you one of the following options: Shuttle Service* Your dealership can provide you with shuttle service to get you to your destination with minimal interruption of your daily schedule when your Cadillac is unavailable due to a warranty repair. Courtesy Vehicle* For repairs that require your vehicle to be unavailable to you for an extended period of time, your dealer may arrange to provide you with a courtesy vehicle from the dealership, or one obtained from a local rental agency.

ses

Miscellaneous Service* Should the situation necessitate making your own arrangements, Gold Key Courtesy Transportation provides for reimbursement of personally arranged transportation such as cab fare, reasonable fuel expen for a ride provided by another individual or a rental vehicle obtained from an independent source. *Some restrictions may apply. Please consult your Cadillac dealer concerning specific Gold Key Courtesy Transportation benefits ofered by the dealership. Plan Ahead When Possible Whenever possible, scheduling an appointment for your vehicle’s warranty service and advising your service consultant that you wish to take advantage of Gold Key Courtesy Transportation can help minimize your inconvenience by allowing your dealer to prepare arrangements to fulfill your transportation needs in advance of your visit.

Owner Responsibilities You are responsible for primary insurance coverage of the vehicle provided. In many cases, your own auto insurance policy may provide this coverage under provisions for rental car agreements. Please consult your insurance carrier to be certain of what’s covered. While your dealership will cover the rental expense of a vehicle provided under the provisions of Gold Key Courtesy Transportation, you are responsible for charges incurred for such items as fuel used, additional insurance coverage and any taxes or fees levied by state or local governmental agencies.

It is important that your vehicle be picked up from the dealership promptly following the completion of your repairs. If your vehicle is not picked up from the dealership within a reasonable amount of time following notification from the dealer, you may be responsible for any additional rental charges incurred as a result of this delay. For Canadian Vehicles In Canada, for warranty repairs during the Complete Vehicle Coverage period in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, interim transportation may be available under the Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult your dealer for details.

GM Participation in an Alternative Dispute Resolution Program This program is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Canadian owners refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet for information on the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or to discontinue its participation in this program. Both Cadillac and your Cadillac dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. Our experience has shown that, if a situation arises where you feel your concern has not been adequately addressed, the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described earlier in this section is very successful. There may be instances where an impartial third party can assist in arriving at a solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. To assist in resolving these disagreements, Cadillac voluntarily participates in BBB AUTO LINE.

BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better Business Bureau system to settle automotive disputes. This program is available free of charge to customers who currently own or lease a GM vehicle. If you are not satisfied after following the Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone number, or write them at the following address:

BBB AUTO LINE Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22203- 1804 Telephone: 1-800-955-5100

To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and a statement of the nature of your complaint. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other factors.

We prefer you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt to resolve the complaint serving as an intermediary. If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be scheduled where eligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator. The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you accept the decision, GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution procedure should ordinarily take about 40 days from the time you file a claim until a decision is made. Some state laws may require you to use this program before filing a claim with a state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further information, contact the BBB at 1-800-955-5 100 or the Cadillac Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-458-8006. Warranty Information Your vehicle comes with a separate warranty booklet that contains detailed warranty information.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying General Motors. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or General Motors. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to:

NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation Washington, D.C. 20590

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

In Canada, please call us at 1-800-263-3777 (English) or 1-800-263-7854 (French). Or, write: General Motors of Canada Limited Customer Communication Centre, 163-005 1908 Colonel Sam Drive Oshawa, Ontario LlH 8P7

Ordering Service and Owner Publications in Canada Service manuals, service bulletins, owner’s manuals and other service literature are available for purchase for all current and past model General Motors vehicles. The toll-free telephone number for ordering information in Canada is 1-800-668-5539.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS TO THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT If you live in Canada, and you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, you should immediately notify Transport Canada, in addition to notifying General Motors of Canada Limited. You may write to:
