Warranty

Paint, Trim, and Appearance Items
Defects in paint, trim, upholstery, or other appearance
items are normally corrected during new vehicle
inspection or during pre-delivery inspection. If you find
any paint or appearance concerns, advise your
retailer as soon as possible. Deterioration due to use
and exposure is not covered by the warranty. Your
owner manual has instructions regarding the care of
these items.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you have made in your
Saturn, we know you will want to operate and maintain
it properly. We urge you to follow the maintenance
instructions in your owner manual.
If you have questions on how to keep your vehicle in
good working condition, see your Saturn retailer,
the place many customers choose to have their
maintenance work done. You can rely on your Saturn
retailer to use the proper parts and repair practices.
Maintenance and Warranty Service
Records
Retain receipts covering performance of regular
maintenance. Repairs required due to damage resulting
from lack of maintenance are not covered by your
warranty. 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.
A “Maintenance Record” is provided in the maintenance
schedule section of the owner manual for recording
services performed.
The servicing retailer can provide a copy of any warranty
repairs for your records.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create
a chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon
and adhere to painted surfaces on your vehicle.
This damage can take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and/or small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the factory applied paint causes
this, Saturn 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.
