An Important Message to Chevrolet Owners . . .
Chevrolet’s Commitment to You
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
Owners 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 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.
Receipts should be retained in the glove box literature
portfolio. Also, a “Maintenance Record” form is provided in
the Maintenance Schedule section of the owners manual
for your convenience in recording services 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, General Motors 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 procedures as outlined
on page 25 of this booklet.
We thank you for choosing a Chevrolet.

GM Participation in an Alternative Dispute
Resolution Program

connection with these vehicles. Any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a

but not limited to, lost wages or vehicle rental

11
Things You Should Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Warranty Repairs — Component Exchanges
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 on the component involved.
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: engine and transmission assemblies,
instrument cluster assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, tape players, batteries, and powertrain
control modules.
Warranty Repairs — Recycled Materials
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines
and GM support the capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air conditioning refrigerant gases and
engine coolant. As a result, any repairs GM may make
to your vehicle may involve the installation of purified
reclaimed refrigerant and coolant.
Tire Service
Any authorized Chevrolet 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, please contact
Chevrolet’s Customer Assistance Center. The toll-free
telephone numbers are listed on page 27.
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 recommendation 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 GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
yellowblue
12
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 owners
manual has instructions regarding the care of paint, trim,
upholstery, glass, and other appearance items.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create
a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon
and attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This
damage can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the factory applied paint causes
this, Chevrolet will repair, at no charge to the owner, the
painted surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or 12,000 miles of purchase,
whichever comes first.
Warranty Coverage — Extensions
Time Extensions: The New Vehicle Limited Warranty
will be extended one day for each day beyond the first
24 hour period in which your vehicle is at an authorized
dealer facility for warranty service. You may be asked to
show the repair orders to verify the period of time the
warranty is to be extended. Your extension rights may
vary depending on state law.
Mileage Extensions: Prior to delivery, some mileage is
put on your vehicle during testing at the assembly plant,
during shipping and while at the dealer facility. The
dealer records this mileage on the first page of this
warranty booklet at delivery. For eligible vehicles, this
mileage will be added to the mileage limits of the
warranty ensuring that you receive full benefit of the
coverage. Mileage extension eligibility:
Applies only to new vehicles held exclusively
in new vehicle inventory.
Does not apply to used vehicles, GM owned
vehicles, dealer owned used vehicles, or dealer
demonstrator vehicles.
Does not apply to vehicles with more than
1,000 miles on the odometer even though the
vehicle may not have been “registered” for
license plates.
13
Warranty Service — United States
and Canada
For your records, the servicing dealer should provide a
copy of the Warranty Repair Order listing all warranty
repairs performed. Your selling dealership has made a
large investment to ensure that they have the proper tools,
training, and parts inventory to make any necessary
warranty repairs should they be required during the
warranty period. We ask that you return to your selling
dealer for warranty repairs. In the event of an emergency
repair, you may take your vehicle to any authorized
General Motors dealer for warranty repairs. However,
certain warranty repairs require special tools or training
that only a dealer selling your brand may have. Therefore,
not all dealers are able to perform every repair. If a
particular dealership cannot assist you, then contact the
Customer Assistance Center. If you have changed your
residence, visit any Chevrolet dealer in the United States
or Canada for warranty service.
Touring Owner Service — Foreign Countries
If you are touring in a foreign country and repairs are
needed, it is suggested you take your vehicle to a
General Motors dealer facility, preferably one which
sells and services Chevrolets. Once you return to the
United States, for reimbursement consideration, you
should provide your dealer with a statement of
circumstances, the original repair order, proof of
ownership, and any “paid” receipt indicating the work
performed and parts replaced. Please note that repairs
made necessary by the use of improper or dirty fuels
and lubricants are not covered under the warranty. See
your owners manual for additional information on fuel
requirements when operating in foreign countries.
Warranty Service — Foreign Countries
This warranty applies to GM vehicles registered in the
United States and normally operated in the United States
or Canada. If you have permanently relocated and
established household residency in another country,
GM may authorize the performance of repairs under
the warranty authorized 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 on GM vehicles that have been
imported / exported for resale.
yellowblue
14
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, installation or use of
any non-GM part, accessory, materials, or the cutting,
welding, or disconnecting of the vehicle’s original
equipment parts and components.
Recreation Vehicle and Special
Body or Equipment Alterations
Installations, or alterations to the original equipment
vehicle (or chassis) as manufactured and assembled
by General Motors, are not covered by this warranty.
The special body company (assembler) or equipment
installer is solely responsible for warranties on the
body or equipment and any alterations to any of the
parts, components, systems or assemblies installed
by GM. Examples include, but are not limited to,
special body installation (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.
Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in 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 dealer
facility. Normally, any defects occurring during
assembly are detected and corrected at the factory
during the inspection process. In addition, dealers 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 dealer without delay. For further details
concerning any repairs which the dealer may have made
prior to your taking delivery of your vehicle, please
ask your dealer.
Production Changes
General Motors Corporation and GM 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.
15
2002 Emission Control Systems Warranties
This section outlines the emission warranties that
General Motors provides for your vehicle in
accordance with the U.S. Federal Clean Air Act.
Defects in material or workmanship in GM
emission parts may also be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty Bumper-to-Bumper
coverage. There may be additional coverage on
GM diesel engine vehicles. In any case, the
warranty with the broadest coverage applies.
What Is Covered
The parts covered under the emission warranty are
listed under Emission Warranty Parts List on
pages 18 through 21.
1. Federal Emission Control Systems
Both the Emission Defect Warranty and the Emission
Performance Warranty described below begin on the
date the vehicle is first delivered or put into use and
continues for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles,
whichever comes first.
If a catalytic converter or vehicle (powertrain) control
module is found to be defective under either of these
warranties, those parts are warranted for 8 years or
80,000 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.
yellowblue
16
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 enforced
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 owners manual
or maintenance schedule 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 on page 18
through 21 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.
2. California Emission Control Warranty
This section outlines the emission warranties that
General Motors provides for your vehicle in
accordance with the California Air Resources
Board. Defects in material or workmanship in GM
emission parts may also be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty Bumper-to-Bumper
coverage. There may be additional coverage on
GM diesel engine vehicles. In any case, the
warranty with the broadest coverage applies.
This warranty applies if your vehicle meets both of the
following requirements:
Your vehicle is registered in California or other
states adopting California emission and
warranty regulations *;
is certified for sale in California as indicated on the
vehicle’s emission control information label.
* Currently MA and VT only. Note: NY and ME

Your Rights and Obligations (For Vehicles Subject to
California Exhaust Emission Standards)
The California Air Resources Board and General Motors
are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 2002 vehicle. In California, new
motor vehicles must be designed, equipped, and built
to meet the states’ stringent anti-smog standards. GM
must warrant your vehicle’s emission control system
for the periods of time and mileage listed provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of
your vehicle. Your vehicle’s emission control system
may include parts such as the fuel injection system,
ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine
computer. Also included are hoses, belts, connectors,
and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, GM will repair
your vehicle at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
General Motors Warranty Coverage:

If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection,
GM will make all necessary repairs and adjustments
to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection.
This is your vehicle emission control system
Performance Warranty.
If any emission related part on your vehicle is
defective, GM will repair or replace it. This is your
short-term emission Defects Warranty.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first:
If an emission related part listed in your vehicle
warranty booklet specially noted with coverage for
7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, GM will repair
or replace it. This is your long-term emission control
system Defects Warranty.
For 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first:
If the catalytic converter or vehicle (powertrain)
control module is found to be defective, GM will
repair or replace it under the Federal Emission
Control Warranty.
Any authorized Chevrolet dealer will, as necessary
under these warranties, replace, repair, or adjust to
General Motors specifications any genuine GM parts
that affect emissions.
The applicable warranty period shall begin on the date
the vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser or, if
the vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstrator or
company vehicle prior to sale at retail, on the date the
vehicle is placed in such service.

performance of the scheduled maintenance listed in your
Owners Manual/Maintenance Schedule. GM recommends
that you retain all maintenance receipts for your vehicle,
but GM cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a GM
dealer selling your vehicle line as soon as a problem
exists. The warranted repairs should be completed in a
reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper or insufficient
maintenance, or modifications not approved by GM.

Parts specified in your maintenance schedule as
requiring scheduled replacement are covered up to their
first replacement interval or the applicable emission
warranty coverage period, whichever comes first. If
failure of one of these parts results in failure of another
part, both will be covered under the Emission Control
System warranties.
If equipped, items marked with an asterisk are covered
by the California long-term emission control system
Defects Warranty for 7 years/ 70,000 miles. (For
example, if one of these parts causes a Smog Check
failure after the 3-year/50,000-mile performance
warranty has expired, the part is still covered for
7 years/70,000 miles.)
For detailed information concerning specific parts
covered by these emission control systems warranties,
ask your dealer.
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.
23
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 manufacturers 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.

24
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 Inspection/Maintenance 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”
on page 25.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your
dealer and to Chevrolet. Normally, any concerns with
the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will
be resolved by your dealers 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 dealer management. Normally, concerns can be
quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already
been reviewed with the sales, service, or parts manager,
contact the owner of the dealer facility or
the General Manager.
STEP TWO If after contacting a member of
dealer management, it appears your concern cannot be
resolved by the dealer without further help contact
the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center by calling
1-800-222-1020. (In Canada, contact GM of Canada
Central Office in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777:
English, or 1-800-263-7854: French).
We encourage you to call the toll-free number in
order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Please
have the following information available to give the
Customer Assistance Representative:
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.)
Dealer name and location
Vehicle’s delivery date and present mileage
When contacting Chevrolet, please remember that your
concern will likely be resolved at a dealers facility. That
is why we suggest you follow Step One first if you have
a concern.

STEP THREE — Both General Motors and your GM
dealer are committed to making sure you are completely
satisfied with your new vehicle. However, if you
continue to remain unsatisfied after following the
procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you should
file with the GM/BBB Auto Line Program to enforce
any additional rights you may have.
The BBB Auto Line program is an out of court program
administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus to
settle automotive disputes regarding vehicle repairs or the
interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Although you may be required to resort to this informal
dispute resolution program prior to filing a court action,
use of the program is free of charge and your case will
generally be heard within 40 days. If you do not agree
with the decision given in your case, you may reject it and
proceed with any other venue for relief available to you.
You may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone
number or write them at the following address:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203-1804
Telephone: 1-800-955-5100
This program is available in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age,
mileage and other factors. General Motors reserves the
right to change eligibility limitations and/or to
discontinue its participation in this program.

State Warranty Enforcement Laws
Laws in many states permit owners to obtain a
replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price
under certain circumstances. The provisions of these
laws vary from state to state. To the extent allowed by
state law, General Motors requires that you first provide
us with written notification of any service difficulty you
have experienced so that we have an opportunity to
make any needed repairs before you are eligible for the
remedies provided by these laws. Your written
notification should be sent to the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center.

Warranty Information for California Only
California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if
General Motors or its representatives are unable to
repair a new motor vehicle to conform to the vehicle’s
applicable express warranties after a reasonable number
of attempts, General Motors shall either replace the new
motor vehicle or reimburse the buyer the amount paid or
payable by the buyer. California Civil Code Section
1793.22(b) creates a presumption that General Motors
has had a reasonable number of attempts to conform
the vehicle to its applicable express warranties if, within
18 months from delivery to the buyer or 18,000 miles
on the vehicle’s odometer, whichever occurs first, one or
more of the following occurs:
The same nonconformity results in a condition that is
likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the
vehicle is driven AND the nonconformity has been
subject to repair two or more times by General
Motors or its agents AND the buyer or lessee has
directly notified General Motors of the need for the
repair of the nonconformity: OR
The same nonconformity has been subject to repair
4 or more times by General Motors or its agents
AND the buyer has notified General Motors of the
need for the repair of the nonconformity;
The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair
nonconformities by General Motors or its agents
for a cumulative total of more than 30 calendar days
after delivery of the vehicle to the buyer.

Special Policy Adjustment Programs
Beyond the Warranty Period
Chevrolet is proud of the protection afforded by its
warranty coverages. In order to achieve maximum
customer satisfaction, there may be times when
Chevrolet will establish a special policy adjustment
program to pay all or part of the cost of certain repairs
not covered by the warranty or to reimburse certain
repair expenses you may have incurred. Check with
your Chevrolet dealer or call the Chevrolet Customer
Assistance Center to determine whether any special
policy adjustment program is applicable to your vehicle.
When you make an inquiry, you will need to give the
year, model and mileage of your vehicle and your
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
