If your vehicle is leased, the leasing company may
require you to have insurance that assures repairs
with Genuine GM Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) parts or Genuine Manufacturer replacement
parts. Read your lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of your lease for poor quality
repairs.
If an Accident Occurs
Here is what to do if you are involved in an
accident.
•
Try to relax and then check to make sure you
are all right. If you are uninjured, make sure
that no one else in your vehicle, or the
other vehicle, is injured.
•
If there has been an injury, call 911 for help.
Do not leave the scene of an accident until
all matters have been taken care of. Move
your vehicle only if its position puts you
in danger or you are instructed to move it
by a police officer.
•
Give only the necessary and requested
information to police and other parties involved
in the accident. Do not discuss your personal
condition, mental frame of mind, or anything
unrelated to the accident. This will help guard
against post-accident legal action.
•
If you need roadside assistance, call
GM Roadside Assistance. See
Roadside
Assistance Program on page 544 for more
information.
•
If your vehicle cannot be driven, know where
the towing service will be taking it. Get a
card from the tow truck operator or write down
the driver’s name, the service’s name, and
the phone number.
•
Remove any valuables from your vehicle
before it is towed away. Make sure this
includes your insurance information and
registration if you keep these items in your
vehicle.
•
Gather the important information you will
need from the other driver. Things like
name, address, phone number, driver’s
license number, vehicle license plate, vehicle
make, model and model year, Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), insurance
company and policy number, and a
general description of the damage to
the other vehicle.
