This program expires two years from the date of the invoice for the vehicle, regardless of vehicle mileage and changes in vehicle ownership.

Services Provided
- Flat Tire Change: If unable to change a flat tire, Roadside Assistance will provide towing service to the nearest authorized Cadillac dealership. It is the owner's responsibility for the repair or replacement of the tire. This service is limited to the transfer of the vehicle to the repair facility.
- Emergency Fuel Delivery: Delivery of enough fuel for the vehicle to get to the nearest service station.
- Lock-Out Service: Service to unlock the vehicle if you are locked out.

- *Emergency Calls: Call for emergency services.
- *Dealership Location Assistance: Information regarding addresses and telephone numbers for Cadillac dealers.
- Emergency Towing: Tow to the nearest dealer for warranty service if the vehicle cannot be driven.
If the vehicle is involved in an accident during the commission of a crime, administrative violation, or breach of traffic regulations, Roadside Assistance will not provide service. When the vehicle is not accessible to be towed, all maneuvers required to access it will be at the owner's expense.
If the vehicle is in another city outside of your residence, Roadside Assistance is limited to moving the vehicle to the nearest dealer. If you would like the vehicle moved to a different dealer, you will be asked to cover the difference in cost at the time of the move.
If the vehicle cannot be received by the nearest Cadillac dealer due to scheduling conflicts, the vehicle will be taken to a safe place where it will remain for up to 48 hours until it can be taken to the dealer. If the storage costs exceed the amount authorized, the owner is responsible to pay the difference at the time of service. Contact Roadside Assistance for more information on authorized amounts.
. *Trip Interruption: This service is provided if you are prevented from further usage of your vehicle while traveling and it is not possible for the nearest Cadillac dealership to repair the vehicle the same day, requiring the vehicle to stay at the dealership for a night or more. If this happens, in addition to the previously listed services and prior to confirmation by the dealership, you are entitled to choose one of the following alternatives, within the limits of existing Roadside Assistance program guidelines. If the costs exceed the amount authorized for these services, you must pay the difference at the time of service.
Roadside Assistance will coordinate hotel accommodations for all vehicle travelers for up to two nights. A rental car will be provided for up to two days and the vehicle must be returned to its original destination, excluding vehicles with a carrying capacity greater than 3.5 tons.
Complimentary Transportation: If you prefer to continue your trip to the intended destination or return to your place of residence, and the trip requires more than eight hours driving on the road, transportation for the driver and passengers by first class bus or coach commercial airline will be provided to a location chosen by Roadside Assistance, depending on availability at the chosen destination. Restrictions apply based on vehicle specifications.
If you are on the road, taxi service to the nearest bus station or airport will be provided.
. *Complimentary Transportation for Vehicle Pick Up: Transportation to pick up your vehicle after repairs are complete. Once the dealer has reported that the vehicle has been repaired, Roadside Assistance will provide bus or commercial airline one-way service (subject to availability) for the person designated by you to collect your vehicle at the dealership's location if you or the designated person are not in the same town or city as the dealership.
*These services are not provided for U.S. or Canada residents. All services provided in the U.S. and Canada are at the owner's expense and will be reimbursed by Roadside Assistance.
