Emission Control Systems Warranty
The emission warranty on your vehicle is issued 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.

The parts covered under the emission warranty are listed under "Emission Warranty Parts List" later in this section.
<A href="http://service.gm.com/servlets/BlobShtml?ShtmlFile=1409367&evc=sm&pubid=972&cellId=120821&mspsdsubkey=4095#ss2-1409367">How to Determine the Applicable Emissions Control System Warranty (Light Duty Trucks Only)
State and Federal agencies may require different emission control system warranty for light duty trucks depending on:
• Whether the truck is certified with a light duty or heavy duty emission control system.
• Whether the truck is certified for California emissions in addition to Federal emissions.
To determine emissions eligibility: locate the emission control label in the engine compartment 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 Control System 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 Control System Warranty Coverage.

Federal Warranty Coverage
• Car and Light Duty Truck equipped with Car and Light Duty Gasoline Engines
- 2 years or 24,000 miles and 8 years or 80,000 miles for the catalytic converter or 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 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Federal Emission Defect Warranty
GM warrants to the owner the following:
• The vehicle was designed, equipped, and built so as to conform at the time of sale with the applicable regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
• The vehicle is free from defects in material 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 the Emission Warranty Parts List, including related diagnostic costs, parts, and labor are covered by this warranty.
Federal 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 owner 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.
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 conform to the applicable emission standards. Non-GM parts labeled "Certified to EPA Standards" are covered by the Federal Emission Performance Warranty.

This section outlines the emission warranty that GM 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*.
• Your vehicle is certified for sale in California as indicated on the vehicle's emission control information label.
Important: Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont have California Emissions Warranty coverage. (New York adopted California emission standards, but not the California emissions warranty. The Federal Emissions Control Warranty applies to all vehicles in New York.)
Your Rights and Obligations (For Vehicles Subject to California Exhaust Emission Standards)
The Emission Control System Warranty on your vehicle is issued in accordance with the California Air Resources Board and GM. In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, equipped, and built to meet the state's 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.
California Emission Defect and Emission Performance Warranty Coverage
For cars and trucks with light duty or medium duty emissions:
• For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first:
- 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 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 this 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 System Warranty.
• For heavy duty gasoline engine vehicles, the emission warranty period is 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
• For heavy duty diesel engine vehicles, the emission warranty period is 5 years, 100,000 miles, or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first.
Any authorized Chevrolet dealer will, as necessary under these warranties, replace, repair, or adjust to GM 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.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the scheduled maintenance listed in your owner manual. GM recommends that you retain all maintenance receipts for your vehicle, but GM cannot deny warranty coverage 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.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that GM may deny warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper or insufficient maintenance, or modifications not approved by GM.
If you have any questions regarding your rights and responsibilities under these warranties, you should contact the Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1020 or, in California, write to:
