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 confolinity 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.
*
"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.
