CHRYSLER 200 2012 1.G Warranty Booklet

EXCHANGE PARTS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due to repairs, Chrysler may offer
exchange service on some parts. Mopar
or Autopar™ brand exchange parts may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meet Chrysler standards and are warranted the
same as new parts. Examples of parts that may be serviced by exchange include engines,
transmissions, instrument clusters, radios, tape and CD players, speedometers and various electronic
modules.
RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations require the capture, purification and
reuse of automotive refrigerant gases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your air
conditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant.
DIGITAL VIDEO AND COMPACT DISCS(DVD/CD)
There are some things you should know about non-commercial DVDs and CDs. Labels applied to
home-recorded discs may curl, buckle or peel off. This can result in ejection failure, and repairs
required to remove a “stuck” disc are not covered by warranty. In addition, some home-recorded discs
may not be compatible with automotive players and may skip or produce error messages. If you
encounter this, check your player by using a commercial disc which is known to be playable. If a disc
is not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve the problem.

ARBITRATION
If you are still not satisfied after following the three steps on the previous page, you have yet another
option.
Chrysler Canada participates in an arbitration program administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP will advise you about how your complaint may be reviewed
and resolved by an independent third party through binding arbitration.
Our goal and that of our retailers is your complete satisfaction. Chrysler Canada’s participation in
CAMVAP makes a valuable contribution to our achievement of that goal. There is no charge for using
CAMVAP. CAMVAP results are fast, fair and final, as the award is binding on both you and Chrysler
Canada.
CAMVAP has been implemented in all provinces and territories. For more information, you can call
CAMVAP directly or call our Customer Assistance Centre. Please provide your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN).

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler Canada Roadside Assistance Program is not a warranty, but the coverage is concurrent
with the Basic and Powertrain Warranties.
Covered service must be provided in Canada or the Continental United States and is limited to plated
and insured vehicles that use public roadways.
Service will not be provided free if you have driven into an area that is inaccessible to the service
vehicle or is not a regularly travelled and maintained public road (such as beaches, recreational areas,
construction sites, open fields, private and seasonal roads). Cross-country, logging, auto cross and any
other form of off-road use is not covered.
The program does not cover winching or towing for vehicles that become stuck while plowing snow.
The program does not cover repeat calls for the same problem (if avoidance of the problem is within
the control of the driver or owner), or towing from one retailer to another, or service if the driver
appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The program does not pay for parts, tires, repairs, labour or vehicle storage. Parts, repairs, or labour
covered under a vehicle warranty will be provided by your Chrysler Canada Retailer.
The program does not pay for towing required because of an accident.For example, if a vehicle is
winched from a ditch or snowbank and is then determined to need a tow because of damage suffered
when it left the road, the tow will not be covered.
The program does not cover anyincidental or consequential damagesconnected with the failure of
your vehicle or providing services to you. Such damages include lost time, inconvenience, loss of use
of your vehicle, rental cars, fuel, telephone, travel or lodging, loss of personal or commercial property,
loss of revenue, etc.
All service providers are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of Chrysler
Canada. Any loss or damage to your vehicle or personal property resulting from providing roadside
service is the responsibility of the roadside service provider (the towing company, for example).
Report any damage or loss to the manager of the service provider and to your own insurance company
within 24 hours and before any repairs are performed.
Chrysler Canada reserves the right to limit services or reimbursement claims for any vehicle, if in our
opinion there is abuse of the services or requests for service become unreasonable or too frequent.
11

The program may be amended or cancelled at any time without refund.
IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown at a considerable distance from a
Chrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-Chrysler service facility to
repair your vehicle, to minimize inconvenience to you.
In very remote areas, if your vehicle cannot be taken by road to the servicing retailer, transportation
by rail or water may be necessary. The program will cover a tow to the dock or rail terminal and also
to the retailer at the end of the trip, but special transportation by rail or water must be arranged for
and paid by you. We will reimburse you for special transportation costs, up to $300 per incident.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY
If you have to pay for a service that is normally covered by the program, you may claim
reimbursement under the following conditions:
•You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
•Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill and towing invoice
•Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance contractor rates, to a maximum of
$100 per incident, unless otherwise noted
•Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you will be accepted for
consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be returned upon request
•Mail your claims to:

Chrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented for payment later than 30 days from
the date the service was performed, or if service was provided by an unlicensed garage or individual.

INTRODUCTIONThe oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance. Based on engine operation condition the oil change indicator message will illuminate, this
means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 800 km. The oil change indicator message will not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been 6 months since your last oil change even if the oil change indicator message
is NOT illuminated. Change your engine oil more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time.Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 13,000 km or 6 months,
whichever comes first.Your dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your dealer the
message can be reset by referring to the steps described in the Owner’s Manual.
The performance of all scheduled service work is required to maintain your vehicle in good operating
condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has not
been properly maintained. While we do not insist that such work be performed by factory authorized
retailers, we strongly recommend that an authorized Chrysler, Jeepor Dodge Retailer perform this
work.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
•Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the
oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add
oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
ONCE A MONTH
•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and transmission
and add as needed.
•Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
•Change the engine oil filter.
•Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS —
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
MAINTENANCEScheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER
repairs required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled
maintenance and keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended MoparLubricants
and genuine MoparParts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals,
please contact your retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
