The Cadillac Protection Plan is available in different levels of coverage, each offering a variety of time/kilometre options to suit your driving needs.

The Cadillac Protection Plan is the only optional service contract backed by the worldwide resources of General Motors. It can be the most valuable option you choose for your vehicle. See your GM dealer for prices, vehicle eligibility guidelines and more details.

No Charge
Warranty repairs, including Parts and Labour, will be made at no charge.

The Warranty Period for all coverages begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put in use and ends at the expiration of the applicable Coverage Period specified in this booklet. In certain circumstances, and if arranged before the vehicle is first purchased, General Motors of
Canada Company may authorize the warranty to start on a date after the vehicle delivery date.

Base Warranty Coverage

Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery Warranty

For vehicles sold in the Canada, in addition to the Base Warranty Coverage described previously, General Motors of Canada Company will warrant defects related to materials or workmanship to the propulsion battery pack and its internal components for 8 years or 160 000 kilometres, whichever comes first.

This warranty is for the electric vehicles sold, registered and normally operated in the Canada. In addition to the initial owner of the vehicle, the coverage described in this Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery Warrantyis transferable at no cost to any subsequent person(s) who assumes ownership of the vehicle within the 8 years or 160 000 kilometres term. No deductibles are associated with this warranty.

This warranty is in addition to the express conditions and warranties described previously. The coverage and benefits described under “New Vehicle Limited Warranty” are not extended or altered because of this Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery Warranty.

Battery Capacity Coverage
Like all batteries, the amount of energy that the propulsion battery can store will decrease with time and kilometres driven. The battery will be replaced/repaired if the capacity falls below 75% of its original value during the Warranty Period, as determined by a certified dealer, with a battery appropriate for the age and mileage of the vehicle.

Propulsion Battery Service
General Motors of Canada Company has a network of certified dealers who are trained to perform repairs on electric vehicle battery packs.

If the Propulsion Battery requires service due to a defect in materials or workmanship, General Motors of Canada Company will either repair or replace the Propulsion Battery with new or refurbished components at General Motors of Canada Company’s discretion.

Towing Coverage
During the 8 years or 160 000 kilometres Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery warranty period, towing is covered to the nearest GM dealer that handles your vehicle line if your vehicle cannot be driven because of a warranted defect. Contact the GM Roadside Assistance Centre for towing. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for details.

Restraint System Warranty Provides repair or replacement needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of any seatbelt or air bag system, supplied by General Motors.

Important: Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting from stone chips, dents or scratches in the paint, or failure to repair paint damaged by stone chips, dents or scratches in the paint) is not included in sheet metal coverage.

Tire Coverage
The tires supplied with your vehicle are covered by General Motors of Canada Company against defects in material or workmanship under the Base Warranty Coverage. Wear-out is not considered a defect, and it may occur before the vehicle warranty expires. In this case, the owner is responsible to purchase replacement tires, or seek coverage solely from the tire manufacturer. For vehicles within the Base Warranty Coverage, defective tires will be replaced on a prorated adjustment basis according to the following distance-based schedule:

Tire Pro-Rate Chart

This schedule applies to the price of the tires only. GM will cover 100% of the cost to mount and balance the tires replaced under warranty for the full Base Warranty Coverage period.

After your Base Warranty expires, you may still have prorated warranty coverage on your original equipment tires by the tire manufacturer. Contact your GM dealer or the tire manufacturer of the brand of tires on your vehicle for more information. The following is a list of current tire manufacturer’s websites and toll-free customer assistance numbers.

Tire Companies

When a tire is removed from service due to a covered warranty condition under a tire manufacturer’s limited warranty program, you may be eligible for a tire replacement or a comparable new tire on a prorated basis.

The tire manufacturer’s limited warranty program, which can be obtained by calling or visiting the tire manufacturer’s website or any authorized Cadillac dealer, is in lieu of all other remedies or warranties, expressed or implied, arising by law or otherwise, including fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability.

The tire manufacturer expressly disclaims liability for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, lost profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of reputation, punitive or any other damage, cost, or loss of any kind.

Aftermarket Vehicle Propulsion Enhancement Products and Modifications

Some aftermarket vehicle propulsion products and modifications promise a way to increase the horsepower and torque levels of your vehicle. You should be aware that these products may have detrimental effects on the performance and life of the propulsion system. The vehicle propulsion system has been designed and built to offer industry leading durability and performance. Vehicle propulsion enhancement products may enable the vehicle to operate at horsepower and torque levels that could damage, create failure, or reduce the life of the propulsion system. Damage, failure, or reduced life of the propulsion or other vehicle components caused by aftermarket vehicle propulsion enhancement products or modifications may not be covered under your vehicle warranty.

Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and adhere to painted surfaces of your vehicle. This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shape discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint surfaces.

Although no defect in the factory applied paint causes this, General Motors of Canada Company will repair, at no charge to the owner, the painted surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within 12 months or 20 000 kilometres of purchase, whichever comes first.

Accessory Coverages

Most GM approved accessories marketed and sold by General Motors of Canada Company that are permanently installed on a GM vehicle prior to delivery will be covered under the provisions of the Base Warranty Coverage of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In the event GM accessories are installed after vehicle delivery or are replaced under the Base Warranty, they will be covered (parts and labour) for the balance of the applicable portion of the Base Warranty, or for 12 months from the date of installation or replacement, whichever is later.

GM accessories sold over the counter, or those not requiring installation, will receive the standard GM Accessory Warranty for 12 months from the date of purchase, parts only.

GM Licensed and Integrated Business Partner (IBP) Accessories are covered under the accessory-specific manufacturer’s warranty and are not warranted by GM or its dealers.

Caution

GM is not responsible for the quality or accuracy of any information, or service accessed through or from any third party device or platform. Software distributed by GM inside or outside the vehicle (including, but not limited to system software or applications) is not covered by this warranty. GM does not warrant that connections to, from or through the vehicle will be uninterrupted or error-free. Also, the user should back-up their data and information frequently.

After-manufacture “Rustproofing”

Your vehicle was designed and built to resist corrosion. Application of additional rust-inhibiting materials is neither necessary nor required under the Sheet Metal Coverage. GM makes no recommendations concerning the usefulness or value of such products.

Application of after-manufacture rustproofing products may create an environment which reduces the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle. Repairs to correct damage caused by such applications are not covered under your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Original Equipment Alterations

This warranty does not cover any damage or failure resulting from modification or alteration to the vehicle’s original equipment as manufactured or assembled by General Motors. Examples of the types of alterations that would not be covered include, but are not limited to, any non-GM part or accessory, any non-GM theft alarm, remote starting device or remote locking system, or the cutting, welding or disconnecting of the vehicle’s original equipment parts and components.

Also, the warranty does not cover a rebuilt vehicle after it has suffered such extensive collision damage in an accident that it was written-off or deemed to be written-off, even if the rebuilt vehicle uses undamaged parts and components from the written-off vehicle.

Additionally, General Motors does not warranty non-GM parts, calibrations and/or software modifications. The use of parts, control module calibrations, software modifications, and/or any other alterations not issued through General Motors of Canada Company will void the warranty coverage for those components that are damaged or otherwise affected by the installation of the non-GM part, control module calibration, software modification, and/or other alteration.

The only exception is that non-GM parts labeled “Certified to EPA Standards” are covered by the Electric Vehicle Propulsion Coverage.

Recreation Vehicle and Special Body or Equipment Alterations

Installations or alterations to the Original Equipment (OE) vehicle or chassis as distributed by General Motors are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The special body company, assembler, equipment installer, or upfitter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems, or assemblies installed by GM. GM is not responsible for the safety or quality of design, features, materials, or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers. Examples include, but are not limited to, special body installation or conversion (such as recreational vehicles), the installation of a non-GM part, cutting, welding, or the disconnecting of original equipment vehicle or chassis parts and components, extension of wheelbase, suspension and driveline modifications, and axle additions.

Where to Go for Maintenance
Your new GM vehicle was designed and built to the highest quality standards and that quality means reliability, long-life and economical operation for years to come. The investment you made in your new GM vehicle can be best maintained at your GM dealer who offers quality service and Genuine GM Parts specifically designed for your GM vehicle.

GM recommends having maintenance performed by an authorized GM dealership. GM dealer technicians are specifically trained to maintain and repair GM vehicles. They stay current on the latest service information through GM technical bulletins, service publications and training courses. Many are also certified through the technical training process. In addition, your GM dealer has special tools, equipment, computer software and complete access to product updates, applicable to your vehicle to ensure fast and accurate diagnostics. Your dealer can also perform a thorough assessment with a multi-point vehicle health check to recommend when your vehicle may need attention. This level of service is only available at an authorized GM dealership.

Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Warranty Repairs — Component Exchanges

In the interest of customer satisfaction, General Motors of Canada Company 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 parts requirements and are made from previously used components in a process that involves disassembly, inspection, cleaning, update of software and replacement 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: transmission assemblies, instrument cluster assemblies, radios, compact disc players, and battery control modules.

Maintenance and Warranty Service Records

Retain receipts covering performance of regular maintenance. These receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of this vehicle. Receipts can be very important if a question arises as to whether a malfunction is caused by a lack of maintenance or is due to a defect in material or workmanship. Repairs required due to damage resulting from lack of maintenance are not covered under your warranty. General Motors of Canada Company may, in its sole discretion, deny a warranty claim if a failure to perform scheduled maintenance is suspected to have resulted in the failure of a warranty part. You should also be aware that General Motors of Canada Company may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or modifications not approved by GM.

A “Maintenance Record” is provided in the maintenance schedule section of the Owner’s Manual, for your convenience in recording services performed.

For your records, the servicing dealer should provide a copy of the warranty repair order listing all warranty repairs performed.

Warranty Repairs — Recycled Materials

Both Environment Canada guidelines and GM support the capture, purification, and reuse of automotive air conditioning refrigerant gases. As a result, any repairs GM may make to your vehicle may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant and coolant.

Tire Service
Any General Motors dealer handling your vehicle line or tire dealer for your brand of tires can assist you with tire service. If, after contacting one of these dealers, you need further assistance or you have questions, contact the Customer Care Centre. The toll-free telephone numbers are listed under Customer Assistance Offices 0 25.

Paint, Trim, and
Appearance Items
Defects in paint, trim, upholstery, or other appearance items are normally corrected during new vehicle preparation. If you find any paint or appearance concerns, advise your dealer as soon as possible. Your Owner’s Manual has instructions regarding the care of these items.

Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you have made in your new Cadillac, we know you will want to operate and maintain it properly. We urge you to follow the maintenance instructions in your Owner’s Manual.

If you have any questions on how to keep your Cadillac in good working condition, see your GM dealer, the place many Cadillac customers choose to have their maintenance work done. You can rely on your GM dealer to use proper parts and repair practices.

Warranty Distance Extensions
Prior to delivery, some kilometres are put on your vehicle during testing at the assembly plant, during shipping, and while at the dealership. The dealership records this odometer reading on the front page of this warranty booklet at delivery.

For eligible vehicles, this odometer reading is added to the distance limits specified in the Cadillac New Vehicle Limited Warranty ensuring that you receive full benefit of their coverage.

Warranty distance extensions eligibility:

• Applies only to new vehicles held exclusively in new vehicle inventory.
• Does not apply to used vehicles, GM owned vehicles, dealer owned vehicles, or dealer demonstrator vehicles.
• Does not apply to vehicles with more than 1 600 kilometres on the odometer even though the vehicle may not have been “registered” for license plates.

Warranty Service — Canada

The selling dealer has invested in the proper tools, training and parts inventory to ensure that any necessary warranty repairs can be made to your 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 0 25.

Touring Owner Service — Canada, the United States and Mexico

If you are touring, visit any GM dealer handling your vehicle line in Canada, the United States, or Mexico for warranty service. Warrantable repairs will be completed at no charge to you. You may be required to provide proof of current and former residency such as driver’s license, or vehicle ownership. For your records, the servicing dealer will provide a copy of the warranty repair order, listing all warranty repairs performed.

Some vehicle lines, which are sold only in Canada, may not be serviced by all GM dealers in the United States or Mexico.

If warranty service is necessary while you are in the United States or Mexico please contact the Canadian Customer Care Centre (CCC) for guidance. See Customer Assistance Offices 0 25 for CCC information. Customer Care Ambassadors will direct you to a dealership and assist the repairing dealer in obtaining the necessary parts and technical information. You may be charged for these repairs. For reimbursement consideration by General Motors of Canada upon your return home, provide your dealer with a statement of circumstances, the original repair order, proof of ownership and any “paid” receipts indicating the work performed and parts replaced.

Touring Owner Service — Countries Other Than Canada, the United States, and Mexico

If you are touring in a foreign country and repairs are needed, it is suggested you make your vehicle available to a GM dealership, preferably one that handles your vehicle line.

Important: Repairs made necessary by the use of improper or dirty fuels and lubricants are not covered under warranty. See your Owner’s Manual for additional information on fuel requirements when operating in foreign countries.

Warranty Service — Canadian Sold Vehicles Registered and Operated Outside Canada

This warranty applies to GM vehicles originally sold new in Canada, registered in Canada, and normally operated in Canada. If you have permanently relocated and established household residency in another country, GM may authorize the performance of repairs based on the warranty coverage for vehicles generally sold by GM in that country. Contact an authorized GM dealer in your country for assistance. GM warranty coverages may be void or subject to restrictions on GM vehicles that have been imported or exported.

Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in or damage to the mechanical, electrical, sheet metal, paint, trim, and other components of your vehicle may occur at the factory or while it is being transported to the dealership. Normally, any defect or damage occurring during assembly is detected and corrected at the factory during the inspection process.

In addition, dealerships are obligated to inspect each vehicle before delivery. They repair any uncorrected factory defects and any transit damage detected before the vehicle is delivered to you.

Any defects still present at the time the vehicle is delivered to you are covered by the warranty. If you find any such defects when you take delivery, please advise your GM dealer without delay.

For further details concerning any repairs which the dealership may have made prior to your taking delivery of your vehicle, please ask your GM dealership.

Production Changes
General Motors of Canada Company and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in vehicles built and/ or sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on vehicles previously built and/or sold by them.

Terms Applicable to All Warranties

Towing
During the Electric Vehicle Propulsion Warranty Coverage period, towing is covered to the nearest GM dealer that handles your vehicle line if your vehicle cannot be driven because of a warranted defect. See Roadside Assistance Program 0 27. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for details.

Emergency Repairs
In an emergency, where an authorized dealer is not reasonably available, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any replacement part. GM will consider reimbursement for the expense incurred, including diagnosis, not to exceed the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labour charges based on GM’s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate labour rate. Retain receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation for warranty repairs reimbursable due to an emergency.

Transferability
The coverage and benefits of the warranties described in this booklet are transferable at no cost to any subsequent person(s) who assumes ownership of the vehicle within the applicable Coverage Period, and is subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein.

General Terms
The express warranties in this booklet give you specific legal rights. You may have different rights which may vary from province to province according to applicable legislation.

TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAW: The foregoing express written warranties are the only and the entire warranties provided with your new vehicle (unless extended warranties are purchased separately) and are in lieu of and exclude all other representations, warranties or conditions, express or implied (including any implied warranty or condition of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose).

The performance of repairs and the provision of replacement parts, as described herein, is the exclusive remedy under these express written warranties or under any otherwise applicable implied warranty or condition. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty has no cash value.

NOTICE REGARDING LIMITATIONS: The terms contained in this limited warranty are not intended to limit or otherwise modify or exclude any warranty that by law cannot be limited, disclaimed or excluded. When and to the extent that any applicable Canadian law prohibits in a particular situation, any term contained in this warranty, such term will be considered severable and deemed deleted from this warranty in that situation.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure

Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealership and to General Motors. Normally, any questions or concerns regarding the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealership’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 ONE – Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level.

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

STEP TWO – If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved at the dealership without further help, contact the Canadian Cadillac Customer Care Centre in Oshawa by calling

1-888-446-2000, Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time; Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Closed on Sunday. (In the U.S. contact the listed Cadillac Customer Assistance Centre.)

For prompt assistance, please have the following information available to give to the Customer Care Advisor:

• Your name, address, home and business telephone number.
• Vehicle Identification Number (This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate above the left top of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.)
• Dealership name and location.
• Vehicle’s delivery date and present odometer reading.
• Nature of concern.

General Motors encourages customers to call its toll-free number for assistance.

However, if a customer wishes to write to General Motors, the letter should be addressed to General Motors Customer Care Centre in Oshawa. Refer to “Customer Assistance Offices” for the address or refer to “Owner Assistance Request Form” for a convenient form for your use.

When contacting General Motors, please remember your concern will likely be resolved at the dealership, using the dealer’s facilities, equipment and personnel. This is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have a concern.

General Motors of Canada Company Participation in the Mediation/Arbitration Program

STEP THREE: In the event that you do not feel your concerns have been addressed after following the procedure outlined in steps 1 and 2, General Motors of Canada Company wants you to be aware of its participation in a no- charge Mediation/ Arbitration program. General Motors of Canada Company 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 approximately 70 days. We believe our impartial program offers advantages over courts in most jurisdictions because it is informal, quick, and free of charge.

Special Coverage Adjustment Programs Beyond the Warranty Period

General Motors of Canada Company is proud of the protection afforded by its warranty coverages.
