Important Message to Owners

Cadillac’s Commitment

Cadillac is committed to ensuring satisfaction with your new vehicle. Your 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.

Owner Assistance
The dealer is best equipped to provide all your vehicle’s service needs. Should you ever encounter a problem that is not resolved during or after the limited warranty period, talk to a member of dealer management. Under certain circumstances, Cadillac and/or Cadillac 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. We thank you for choosing Cadillac.

Cadillac Participation in an Alternative Dispute Resolution Program

Warranty Service – United States, Canada, and Mexico
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 Cadillac vehicle. Cadillac 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 Cadillac 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 23. If you are unable to return to the selling dealer, contact a Cadillac dealer in the United States, Canada, or Mexico for warranty service.

Warranty Coverage at a Glance
The warranty coverages are summarized below.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty InformationImportant Message to Owners1

Noise Emissions
Noise Emissions Coverage is for applicable vehicles weighing over 10,000 lbs based on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) only, for the entire life of the vehicle.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty
GM will provide for repairs to the vehicle during the warranty period in accordance with the following terms, conditions, and limitations.

What Is Covered

Warranty Applies
This warranty is for GM vehicles registered in the United States and normally operated in the United States or Canada, and is provided to the original and any subsequent owners of the vehicle during the warranty period.

Repairs Covered
The warranty covers repairs to correct any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship occurring during the warranty period, excluding slight noise, vibrations, or other normal characteristics of the vehicle.

No Charge
Warranty repairs, including towing, parts, and labor, will be made at no charge.

Obtaining Repairs
To obtain warranty repairs, take the vehicle to a Cadillac dealer facility within the warranty period and request the needed repairs. Reasonable time must be allowed for the dealer to perform necessary repairs.

Warranty Period
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 coverage period.

Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage
The complete vehicle is covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, except for other coverages listed here under “What Is Covered” and those items listed under “What Is Not Covered” later in this section.

Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery Warranty
For vehicles sold in the United States, in addition to the Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage described previously, Cadillac will warrant defects related to materials or workmanship to the propulsion battery pack and its internal components for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, from the original in-service date of the vehicle. This warranty is for electric vehicles registered and normally operated in the United States. In addition to the initial owner of the vehicle, the coverage described in this Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery Warranty is transferable at no cost to any subsequent person(s) who assumes ownership of the vehicle within the 8-year or 100,000 miles 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 high-voltage propulsion battery can store will decrease with time and miles 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
Cadillac 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, Cadillac will either repair or replace the Propulsion Battery with new or refurbished components at Cadillac’s discretion.

Towing Coverage
During the 8 years or 100,000 miles  (160,000 kilometers) Electric Vehicle Propulsion Battery warranty period, towing is covered to the nearest EV Certified Cadillac dealer if your vehicle cannot be driven because of a warranted defect. Contact the GM Roadside Assistance Center 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 airbag system, supplied by General Motors. Coverage is for 6 years or 72,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty is subject to the exceptions indicated in the “What Is Not Covered” section or cosmetic appearance defects such as color fade.

Sheet Metal Coverage
Body sheet metal panels are covered against corrosion and rust-through as follows:

Surface Corrosion: Body sheet metal panels are covered against rust for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Important: Surface rust resulting from accidents, stone chips or scratches in the paint is not included in sheet metal coverage

Rust-Through Corrosion: Any body sheet metal panel that rusts through — that develops an actual hole in the sheet metal — is covered for up to 6 years, unlimited miles.

Important: 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-manufacturing rust-proofing products may create an environment that 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.

Tire Coverage
The tires supplied with your vehicle are covered by General Motors against defects in material or workmanship under the Bumper-to-Bumper 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 for purchasing replacement tires, or seeking coverage solely from the tire manufacturer. For vehicles within the Bumper-to-Bumper warranty coverage, defective tires will be replaced on a prorated adjustment basis according to the following mileage-based schedule:

Tire Pro-Rate Chart

Mileage (mi) Percent Covered by Cadillac (Tire Cost) Percent Covered by Cadillac (Labor

— Mount/Balance)

0-12,000 100% 100%
12,001-15,000 60% 100%
15,001-20,000 50% 100%
20,001-25,000 40% 100%
25,001-30,000 30% 100%
30,001-50,000 20% 100%
50,000 + 0% 0%

This schedule applies to the price of the tires only. Cadillac will cover 100% of the cost to mount and balance the tires replaced under warranty for the full Bumper-to-Bumper warranty period.
After your New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires, you may still have prorated warranty coverage on your original equipment tires by the tire manufacturer.

The tire manufacturer’s limited warranty program, which can be obtained by calling or visiting the tire manufacturer’s website or any authorized 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 manufacturers expressly disclaim 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.*
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not apply to you.

Accessory Coverages
Most Cadillac parts and accessories sold and permanently installed on a Cadillac vehicle by a Cadillac Dealer or GM-approved Accessory Distributor/Installer (ADI) prior to delivery will be covered under the applicable portion of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In the event Cadillac accessories are installed after vehicle delivery or are replaced under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, they will be covered, parts and labor, for the balance of the applicable portion of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, but in no event less than 12 months/unlimited miles. GM accessories sold over the counter, or those not requiring installation, will receive the standard Cadillac Dealer Accessories Warranty of 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
This warranty excludes:
Any communications device that becomes unusable or unable to function as intended due to the unavailability of compatible wireless service or GPS satellite signals.

Towing
Towing is covered to the nearest Cadillac dealer if your vehicle cannot be driven because of a warranted defect.
