Insuring Your VehicleProtect your investment in your GM vehicle withcomprehensive and collision insurance coverage.There are significant differences in the quality ofcoverage afforded by various insurance policy terms.Many insurance policies provide reduced protection toyour GM vehicle by limiting compensation for damagerepairs by using aftermarket collision parts. Someinsurance companies will not specify aftermarket collisionparts. When purchasing insurance, we recommend thatyou assure your vehicle will be repaired with GM originalequipment collision parts. If such insurance coverageis not available from your current insurance carrier,consider switching to another insurance carrier.If your vehicle is leased, the leasing company mayrequire you to have insurance that assures repairs withGenuine GM Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)parts or Genuine Manufacturer replacement parts.Read your lease carefully, as you may be chargedat the end of your lease for poor quality repairs.If a Crash OccursHere is what to do if you are involved in a crash.• Try to relax and then check to make sure you areall right.
