### What Is Not Covered

#### Tire Damage and Wear

Normal tire wear or wear-out is not covered. Road hazard damage such as punctures, cuts, snags and breaks resulting from pothole impact, curb impact, or from other objects is not covered. Also, damage from improper inflation, high speed spinup (as when stuck in mud or snow), tire chains, racing, improper mounting or dismounting, misuse, negligence, alteration, vandalism or misapplication is not covered.

#### Damage Due to Accidents, Misuse, or Alteration

Damage caused as the result of any of the following is not covered:

• | Collision, fire, theft, freezing, vandalism, riot, explosion, earthquake, water or flood, windstorm, lightning, or objects striking the vehicle;

• | Misuse of the vehicle such as spinning the wheels; driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or other competition. Proper vehicle use is discussed in the Owner Manual;

• | Alterations or modifications to the vehicle including the body, chassis or components, after final assembly by Saturn Corporation (which includes rebuilding the vehicle after it has suffered such extensive collision damage in an accident that it was written-off or deemed to be written-off, even if the rebuilt vehicle uses undamaged parts and components from the written-off vehicle);

• | Coverages do not apply if the odometer has been disconnected, its reading has been altered, or kilometrage cannot be determined;

• | Chassis overloading or uneven weight distribution;

• | Cutting, welding, stretching, or shrinking of chassis frame rails or driveline;

• | Addition of aftermarket suspension equipment such as tag axles, springs, or spring helpers, spacer blocks, or air spring;

Important: This warranty is void on vehicles currently or previously registered as salvaged, scrapped (irreparable), rebuilt, junked or totaled (written-off) or stolen.

#### Damage or Corrosion Due to Environment Chemical Treatments or Aftermarket Products

Damage caused by airborne fallout, salt from sea air, salt or other materials used to control road conditions, chemicals, tree sap, insects, stones, hail, earthquake, water or flood, windstorm, lightning, the application of chemicals or sealants subsequent to manufacture, etc., is not covered. See "Chemical Paint Spotting" under Things You Should Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

#### Damage Due to Insufficient or Improper Maintenance

Damage caused by failure to follow the recommended Maintenance Schedule intervals and/or failure to use or maintain fluids, fuel, lubricants or refrigerants recommended in the Owner Manual is not covered.

Maintenance is the owner's responsibility. General Motors of Canada Limited recommends that you keep all receipts and make them available if questions arise about maintenance.

#### Damage Due to Contaminated or Poor Quality Fuel

Poor fuel quality or incorrect fuel may cause driveability problems such as hesitation, lack of power, stall or no start. It may also render gauges inoperable or degrade functionality for components such as spark plugs, oxygen sensors and the catalytic converter. Damage from poor fuel quality, water contamination, incorrect diesel fuel or gasoline may not be covered.

It is recommended that gasoline meet specifications which were developed by automobile manufacturers around the world and contained in the World-Wide Fuel Charter which is available from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers at www.autoalliance.org/fuel_charter.htm. Gasoline meeting these specifications could provide improved driveability and emission control system performance compared to other gasoline.

#### Maintenance

All vehicles require periodic maintenance. Maintenance services, such as those detailed in the Owner Manual and this warranty booklet are the owner's expense.

Vehicle lubrication, cleaning, or polishing are not covered. Failure of or damage to components requiring replacement or repair due to vehicle use, wear, exposure to the elements, or lack of maintenance is not covered.

Items such as, but not limited to:

• | Audio System Cleaning

• | Brake Pads/Linings

• | Clutch Linings

• | Coolants and Fluids

• | Filters

• | Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Batteries*

• | Tire Rotation

• | Wheel Alignment/Balance**

• | Wiper Inserts

are covered only when replacement or repair is the result of a defect in material or workmanship.

#### Other Terms

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have different rights which vary from province to province according to applicable legislation. This warranty does not exclude or limit those rights but runs concurrently with any such applicable provincial legislation.

Neither General Motors of Canada Limited nor Saturn Corporation authorizes any person to create for them any other condition or liability in connection with these vehicles. Any implied warranty of condition (including any implied warranty or condition of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose) applicable to this vehicle is limited in duration to the duration of this written warranty. The performance of repairs is the exclusive remedy under this written warranty or any implied warranty or condition. General Motors of Canada Limited and Saturn Corporation shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from breach of this written warranty or any implied warranty or condition.*

* Some provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty will last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
