requiring scheduled replacement are covered up to their
first replacement interval or the applicable emission
warranty coverage period, whichever comes fiist. If
failure of one of these parts results in failure
of another
part, both will be covered under the Emission Control
System warranties.

by the California long-term emission control system

example, if one of these parts causes a Smog Check

4. Things You Should Know About the
Replacement Parts
Emission Control Systems Warranties
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
himselfherself that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine
GM parts
in
performance and durability.
