AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ALTERATIONS AND
WARRANTIES.
Installations or alterations to the original
equipment vehicle (or chassis) as distributed by General
Motors are not covered by the General Motors New-
Vehicle Limited Warranty. The special body company,
assembler, equipment installer or upfitter is solely
responsible for warranties on the body or equipment
and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to
any of the parts, components, systems or assemblies
installed by GM. General Motors is not responsible
for the safety or quality of design features, materials
or workmanship of any alterations by such suppliers.
ASSEMBLY. Buick vehicles and their components are
assembled or produced by different operating units
of General Motors, its subsidiaries or suppliers to
GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to
produce Buick vehicles with different or differently
sourced components than originally scheduled.
Since some options may be unavailable when your
vehicle is assembled, we suggest that you verify that
your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered or,
if there are changes, that they are acceptable to you.
ENGINES. Buick products are equipped with engines
produced by GM Powertrain or other suppliers to GM
worldwide. The engines in Buick products may also
be used in other GM makes and models.
TRAILERING AND OFF-ROAD DRIVING INFORMATION.
Please go to buick.com and carefully review the vehi-
cle Owner’s Manual for important safety information
about trailering or off-road driving in your vehicle.
A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety
belts and the correct child restraint for your child’s
age and size, even with air bags. Even in vehicles
equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children
are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the
appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place
a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any
vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. See
your vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat
instructions for more safety information.
FLEET ORDERS. Some standard content may be
deleted with fleet orders. See dealer for details.
