PTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
DaimlerChrysler Canada has a service contract specially designed for most new vehicles, to cover repair costs beyond your vehicleÕswarranty. Protection is available for almost every operating part ofyour vehicle, and at reasonable cost.
DaimlerChrysler Canada stands fully behind its service
contracts. Be sure that the contract you buy is a genuineDaimlerChrysler Service Contract. We are notresponsible for
other companiesÕ contracts. See page 24 for details on available service contracts. A PPEARANCE ITEMS
Defects or damage to sheet metal, paint, trim and other appearance items are normally found and corrected during new-vehicleinspection. For your protection, if you find any such defect ordamage, you should tell your selling dealer immediately, because ifthe problem worsens due to use and exposure, repairs will not becovered by any warranty. P
RODUCTION CHANGES
DaimlerChrysler Canada and its dealers reserve the right to make changes in vehicles built and/or sold at any time without incurringany obligations to make the same or similar changes on vehicleswhich were built and/or sold previously. E XCHANGE PAR TS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due to repairs, DaimlerChrysler may offer exchange service on some parts. Mopar or Autopar ¨brand exchange parts may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meetDaimlerChrysler standards and are warranted the same as newparts. Examples of parts that may be serviced by exchange includeengines, transmissions, instrument clusters, radios, tape and CDplayers, speedometers and various electronic modules.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
R
ECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations require the capture, purification and reuse of automotive refrigerantgases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your airconditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation ofpurified reclaimed refrigerant. C ASSETTE TAPES ANDCDS
There are some things you should know about cassette tapes and non-commercial CDs. Labels applied to tape cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off. Thiscan result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove aÒstuckÓ CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may notbe compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or produceerror messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player byusing a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If a CD isnot compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the playerwill not solve the problem.
