HOW TO GET SERVICE
INCANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. If you
move or are travelling in Canada, warranty service may be requested from any
authorized DaimlerChrysler Retailer, but preferably one who sells the same
Chrysler or Dodge brand vehicle as yours.
IN THEUNITEDSTATES(INCLUDINGU.S. POSSESSIONS AND
TERRITORIES
)ANDMEXICO:
If you are travelling temporarily in the United States or Mexico, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, your DaimlerChrysler Canada
Warranty will still apply. Service may be requested at any authorized
Chrysler or Dodge Retailer.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OFNORTHAMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, you should take your vehicle to an
authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. If the authorized retailer charges
you for repairs which you feel should be covered under your warranty,
please get a detailed receipt for the work done. When your vehicle returns to Canada, contact the DaimlerChrysler Canada Customer Assistance
Centre (page 18) for reimbursement consideration. Reimbursement will not
be considered if the vehicle does not return to Canada.
IF YOU MOVE:
If you are moving to another country, be sure to contact the customs
department of the destination country before you move. Vehicle importation
rules vary considerably from country to country.
If you are moving to the United States,
be sure to also contact the
DaimlerChrysler Motors Customer Assistance office at 1-800-992-1997to
obtain the necessary documentation to register your vehicle and to
determine warranty eligibility in the U.S.

the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer be eligible for
warranty coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to Canadian Govern-
ment officials or military personnel on assignment outside of Canada will
continue to be covered by the Basic Warranty.)

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
DaimlerChrysler Canada has a service contract specially designed for most
new vehicles, to cover repair costs beyond your vehicle’s warranty.
Protection is available for almost every operating part of your vehicle, and
at reasonable cost.
DaimlerChrysler Canada stands fully behind its service contracts. Be sure
that the contract you buy is a genuine DaimlerChryslerService Contract.
We are notresponsible for other companies’ contracts. See page 24 for
details on available service contracts.
APPEARANCE ITEMS
Defects or damage to sheet metal, paint, trim and other appearance items
are normally found and corrected during new vehicle inspection. For your
protection, if you find any such defect or damage, you should tell your
selling retailer immediately, because if the problem worsens due to use and
exposure, repairs will not be covered by any warranty.
PRODUCTION CHANGES
DaimlerChrysler Canada and its retailers reserve the right to make changes
in vehicles built and/or sold at any time without incurring any obligations
to make the same or similar changes on vehicles which were built and/or
sold previously.
EXCHANGE PARTS
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, recondi-
tioned or repaired, but all meet DaimlerChrysler 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.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Page 15 of 72
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.
CASSETTE TAPES AND CDS
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. This can result in ejection failure, and repairs
required to remove a stuckCD or cassette are not covered by warranty.
In addition, some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats
may not be compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or
produce error messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player by
using a commercial CD which is known to be playable. A CD is not
compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve
the problem.

new 2008 vehicles which have a 3-year or 60,000-kilometreBasic
Warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometre Powertrain Warranty. Eligible
vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for years or 100,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s warranty start date.
Vehicles placed in police, taxi, limousine, postal or ambulance service and
all SRT vehicles, are covered for roadside assistance for 3 years or 60,000
kilometres only (whichever occurs first). Roadside Assistance service will

breakdown, it will be towed to the nearest authorized DaimlerChrysler
Canada Retailer which services your brand of vehicle (or to the
DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer of your choice, provided it is within a
35-kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
• STUCK? If your vehicle is stuck in a ditch or snow on or adjacent to a
public roadway and appears to be undamaged, and the tow facility has
access, it will be winched to the nearest road surface. If your vehicle is
unable to proceed under its own power and a tow is required once the
winch is performed, you will be responsible for paying the service facility
for the winch and the tow.
• DEAD BATTERY? If your battery is dead, jump-start assistance will be
dispatched to your location. In the event that your vehicle fails to start, your
vehicle will be towed to the nearest DaimlerChrysler Retailer (or to the
DaimlerChrysler Retailer of your choice provided it is within a 35-
kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
• LOCKED OUT? If your keys are locked in your vehicle or your locks
are frozen, help will be sent to your location. (Service is limited to
providing access to the seating area only and does not include the cost of
replacing keys.)

gasoline will be delivered to your location, where regulations permit. In all
other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will be towed to the

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The DaimlerChrysler 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 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 DaimlerChrysler 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 any
incidental or consequential damages
connected 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 commer-
cial property, loss of revenue, etc.
All service providers are independent contractors and are not employees or
agents of DaimlerChrysler Canada. Any loss or damage to your vehicle or
personal property resulting from providing roadside service is the respon-
sibility 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.
