WARRANTY

In the interest of customer satisfaction, General Motors 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 which may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, depending
involved.

All exchange components used meet
as new components. Examples of the types of components that might be serviced
in this fashion include: transaxle assemblies, instrument cluster assemblies,
radios, compact disc players, cassette tape players, engine control modules,
batteries and electronic control modules.
