Have you purchased the Genuine GM Protection Plan?
The GM Protection Plan may be purchased within
specific time/mileage limitations. See the information
request form in the back of this booklet. Remember,
if the service contract you are considering for purchase
does not have the GM Protection Plan emblem shown
above on it, then it is not the Genuine GM Protection
Plan from GM.
We are committed to assure your satisfaction with your
new Chevrolet.
Your Chevrolet dealer also wants you to be completely
satisfied and invites you to return for all your service
needs both during and after the warranty period.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you have made in your
Chevrolet, we know you will want to operate and maintain
it properly. We urge you to follow the maintenance
instructions contained in your owner’s manual.
If you have questions on how to keep your Chevrolet
in good working condition, see your Chevrolet dealer,
the place many Chevrolet customers choose to
have their maintenance work done. You can rely on
your Chevrolet dealer to use the proper parts and
repair practices.
Maintenance and Warranty Service
Records
Retain receipts covering performance of regular
maintenance. Receipts can be very important if a
question arises as to whether a malfunction is caused
by lack of maintenance or a defect in material or
workmanship.
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.

Owner Assistance
Your Chevrolet dealer is best equipped to provide all
your service needs. Should you ever encounter a
problem during or after the limited warranty period that
is not resolved, talk to a member of dealer management.
Under certain circumstances, GM and/or GM dealers
may provide assistance after the limited warranty period
has expired when the problem results from a defect
in material or workmanship. These instances will
be reviewed on a case by case basis. If your problem
has not been resolved to your satisfaction, follow
the “Customer Satisfaction Procedure” as outlined under
Owner Assistance on page 22
We thank you for choosing a Chevrolet.
