WARRANTY INFORMATION
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
All of the warranties in this booklet are limited warranties and they give you specific legal rights. You
may also have other rights which vary from province to province. Some provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of how long an implied
warranty lasts or who is eligible for coverage, so the stated limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you.
The limited warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties made by Chrysler Canada Inc.
applicable to this vehicle. Any implied warranty or condition of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose applicable to this vehicle is limited in duration to the duration of these limitedwarranties.
Chrysler Canada Inc. shall not be liable for commercial loss, special or consequential damages
resulting from breach of these written warranties or of any implied warranty or condition.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is your responsibility under the terms of these warranties to operate and maintain your vehicle as
recommended in the Owner’s Manual. Regular scheduled maintenance, described in your Owner’s
Manual and herein, is essential to trouble-free operation.
Westrongly recommend that you return to your selling retailer for all service, both during and after
the warranty periods. Chrysler Canada Retailers are best equipped and trained to provide all levels of
service and maintenance for your vehicle.
High-tech diagnostic equipment is sometimes needed to service a vehicle efficiently and accurately.
Chrysler Canada Retailers have unique diagnostic computers and electronic and mechanical tools,
specially designed to service our cars and trucks, and we provide special technical training so their
technicians can render the skilled care your vehicle needs.
WARRANTY SERVICE
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. We recommend that you
return to your selling retailer for this service; however, you may request warranty service for your
vehicle from any Chrysler Retailer. See “How to get service”on page 8.
NAME AND ADDRESS CHANGES
The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires vehicle manufacturers to notify owners if the
correction of a safety-related defect becomes necessary. If you change your name or address, or if you
are a subsequent owner of this vehicle, please call the Chrysler Canada Customer Records Department
at 1-800-373-1474. You can also request to have these changes completed by any authorized Chrysler
Canada retailer.
ABOUT YOUR WARRANTIES
WARRANTY START DATE
Time and distance limitations for all warranty coverage are measured from the vehicle’s warranty
start date, which is the date when the vehicle was originally delivered or first used, whichever
occurred first.
VEHICLES COVERED
The warranties in this booklet cover new vehicles only which are built for sale in Canada and are
registered and normally operated in Canada. The warranties apply to all owners of the vehicle.
COVERED REPAIRS
The warranties in this booklet cover repairs to factory-installed Chrysler parts and equipment (that is,
Chrysler parts or equipment installed by Chrysler or by the selling retailer before the vehicle was
delivered to the first owner), if the repairs were necessary because of a defect in material or
workmanship. Covered repairs will be done without charge, using new or remanufactured Chrysler
parts (see page 9).

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) (If equipped)- Power transfer unit and all internal parts; driveshaft and
axle shaft assemblies; constant velocity joints and boots; axle housing and all internal parts;
differential carrier assembly and all internal parts; output ball bearing; output flange; end cover;
viscous converter clutch; overrunning clutch; vacuum motor; torque tube; pinion spacer and shim;
seals and gaskets for these parts only.
CORROSION WARRANTY
For 3 years, regardless of distance driven, your Corrosion Warranty covers any body sheet metal
panel which develops a hole caused by corrosion.
In addition, outer body panels are covered against holes caused by corrosion up to 5 years or 160,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first. An outer body panel is a sheet metal panel which can be seen
while walking around the vehicle, and which is painted body colour.
This warranty applies only to holes caused by corrosion. Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting
from stone chips or scratches in the paint, for example) will not be repaired under this warranty.
If corrosion damage is obviously neglected and allowed to worsen until a hole develops, this warranty
will not cover the repair.
EMISSION WARRANTIES
Chrysler Canada warrants that your new vehicle was designed, built and equipped to conform at the
time of sale with applicable federal and provincial emissions standards, and that the vehicle is, at the
time of sale, free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause it to fail to conform
to the applicable emission standards within the warranty periods specified. A covered defect is one
which causes your vehicle to fail to meet applicable emission control regulations.
To keep your vehicle operating properly and in conformance with emission regulations, see the Scheduled Maintenance instructions in your Owner’s Manual and herein. Only Chrysler parts
should be used for maintenance and repair of your vehicle’s emission control systems.
You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass them on to the next owner of your
vehicle, in case questions arise concerning maintenance. Chrysler Canada has the right to deny
warranty coverage if your vehicle has not been properly maintained, or if repairs are needed because
parts other than Chrysler parts were used; however, denial will not be based on the lack of
maintenance records alone.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized retailer is not available, contact Chrysler
Canada Customer Assistance (page 9) and request emission warranty service help.
EMISSION DEFECT WARRANTY
The 3/60 Basic Warranty covers all emission control components for 3 years or 60,000 kilometres,
whichever occurs first. The Emission Defect Warranty provides longer coverage for specified components.
The Defect Warranty covers the following major emission control parts, if so equipped, for 8 years
or 130,000-kilometres, whichever occurs first:
 catalytic converter
 powertrain control module
To receive this coverage the vehicles onboard diagnostic system must indicate a failed emission component.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Scheduled 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 Mopar® Lubricants and genuine Mopar® Parts. In the event that
a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your retailer.AVOID PRO-
LONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on
engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service
is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message
is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
5,600 kilometres since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800kilometres.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OIL CHANGE INTERVALS EXCEED 16,000 KILOMETRES OR TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
ONCE A MONTH OR BEFORE A LONG TRIP:  Check engine oil level.
 Check windshield washer fluid level.
 Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
 Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
 Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and
transmission as needed.
 Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
AT EVERY OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AS INDICATED BY OIL CHANGE INDICATOR SYSTEM: Change engine oil and filter. Oil changes prompted by the oil change indicator system can be
recorded in the oil change log section.
 Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear even if it occurs before the oil
indicator system turns on.
 Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
 Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick.
 Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
 Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
 Inspect exhaust system.
 Inspect engine air filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
WARNING! 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, Jeep® or Dodge Retailer perform this work.
 You can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only service work for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you have any doubt about your
ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
 Failure to properly inspect and maintain your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling and performance. This could cause an accident.
