How to Determine the Applicable Emissions Control System Warranty
State and Federal agencies may require different emissions control systems warranties for light duty trucks depending on:
| • | Whether the truck is certified with a light or heavy duty emission control system. |
| and/or |
| • | Whether the truck is certified for California emissions in addition to Federal emissions. |
Do the following to determine emissions eligibility:
- Locate the underhood emission control label located inside the engine compartment on the underside of the hood, on the air cleaner assembly, or on the engine.
- The language on the bottom left side of the label will describe if equipped with a light, medium, or heavy duty emission control system.
- All Light Duty Trucks are eligible for Federal Emissions Warranty Coverage. If the emissions control label contains language stating the vehicle is certified to California emissions standards, the vehicle is also eligible for California Emissions Warranty Coverage.
1. Federal Emission Control Warranty
Both the Emission Defect Warranty and the Emission Performance Warranty described next begin on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put into use and continues as follows:
Light Duty Truck Equipped With Light Duty Gasoline Engine
| • | 2 years or 24,000 miles, and 8 years or 80,000 miles on the catalytic converter and vehicle (powertrain) control module, whichever comes first. |
Light Duty Truck Equipped With Heavy Duty Gasoline Engine
| • | 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
Light Duty Truck Equipped With Heavy Duty Diesel Engine
| • | 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
Emission Defect Warranty
General Motors Corporation warrants to the owner that the vehicle:
| • | was designed, equipped, and built so as to conform at the time of sale with applicable regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and |
| • | is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with those regulations during the emission warranty period. |
Emission related defects in the genuine GM parts listed under Emission Parts Covered, including related diagnostic costs, parts and labor are covered by this warranty.
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and/or local jurisdictions have established periodic vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper maintenance of your vehicle. If an EPA-approved I/M program is required in your area you may also be eligible for Emission Performance Warranty coverage when all of the following three conditions are met:
| • | The vehicle has been maintained and operated in accordance with the instructions for proper maintenance and use set forth in the owner's manual supplied with your vehicle. |
| • | The vehicle fails an EPA-approved I/M test during the emission warranty period. |
| • | The failure results, or will result, in the owner of the vehicle having to bear a penalty or other sanctions (including the denial of the right to use the vehicle) under local, state, or federal law. |
If all these conditions are met, GM warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or adjust to GM specifications, at no charge to you, any of the parts listed under the "Emission Warranty Parts List" later in this section which may be necessary to cause your vehicle to conform to the applicable emission standards. Non-GM parts labeled "Certified to EPA Standards" are covered by the Emission Performance Warranty.

4. Things You Should Know About the Emission Control Systems Warranties
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of your vehicle were designed, built, and tested using genuine GM parts* and the vehicle is certified as being in conformity with applicable federal and California emission requirements. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of emission control systems be new, genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may elect to use non-genuine GM parts for replacement purposes. Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of parts affecting emission control, the owner should assure himself/herself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine GM parts in performance and durability.
* "genuine GM parts," when used in connection with GM vehicles means parts manufactured by or for GM, designed for use on GM vehicles and distributed by any division or subsidiary of General Motors Corporation.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can be performed by any qualified service outlet; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized dealer except in an emergency situation when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available to the vehicle owner.
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. Chevrolet will consider reimbursement for the expense incurred (including diagnosis), not to exceed the manufacturer's suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on Chevrolet's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate labor rate. A part not being available within 10 days or a repair not being completed within 30 days constitutes an emergency. Retain receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation for warranty repairs reimbursable due to an emergency.
If, in an emergency situation, it is necessary to have repairs performed by other than a Chevrolet dealer and you believe the repairs are covered by emission warranties, take the replaced parts and your receipt to a Chevrolet dealer for reimbursement consideration. This applies to both the Emission Defect Warranty and Emission Performance Warranty.
Receipts and records covering the performance of regular maintenance or emergency repairs should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. These receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner. GM will not deny warranty coverage solely on the absence of maintenance records. However, GM may deny a warranty claim if a failure to perform scheduled maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranty part.
Claims Procedure
As with the other warranties covered in this booklet, take your vehicle to any authorized Chevrolet dealer facility to obtain service under the emission warranties. This should be done as soon as possible after failing an EPA-approved I/M test or a California smog check test, or at any time you suspect a defect in a part.
Those repairs qualifying under the warranty will be performed by any Chevrolet dealer at no charge. Repairs which do not qualify will be charged to you. You will be notified as to whether or not the repair qualifies under the warranty within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days after receipt of the vehicle by the dealer, or within the time period required by local or state law).
The only exceptions would be if you request or agree to an extension, or if a delay results from events beyond the control of your dealer or GM. If you are not so notified, GM will provide any required repairs at no charge. In the event a warranty matter is not handled to your satisfaction, refer to the "Customer Satisfaction Procedure" in this booklet under Owner Assistance .

You will be notified as to whether or not the repair qualifies under the warranty within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days after receipt of the chassis by the dealer, or within the time period required by local or state law).
The only exceptions would be if you request or agree to an extension, or if a delay results from events beyond the control of your dealer or GM. If you are not so notified, GM will provide any required repairs at no charge.
In the event a warranty matter is not handled to your satisfaction, refer to the "Customer Satisfaction Procedure" in this booklet under Owner Assistance .
