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 Maintenanceinstructions 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 PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The Emission Performance Warranty only applies to cars and trucks with a GVW less than 3,855 kg
(8,500 lb).
For2 years or 40,000 kilometres,whichever occurs first, the Performance Warranty will cover the
cost of repairing or adjusting any components or parts of your vehicle that might be necessary to pass
an approved provincial Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program’s emissions test, but only if:
•your vehicle failed an approved provincial I/M emissions test; and
•your vehicle was properly maintained and operated until it failed the test; and
•warranty service is required in order for your vehicle to pass the provincial I/M test
Provincial test fees, if any, are not covered by this warranty.
HOW TO GET SERVICE UNDER THIS WARRANTY
If your vehicle fails an approved I/M emissions test within the Emission Performance Warranty
period, take it to an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer as soon as possible. Give the service
representative the printout that shows your vehicle failed the test. If possible, bring all service
receipts, maintenance logs and records to prove that your vehicle has been properly maintained.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to fire, accidents, abuse, negligence,
objects striking your vehicle, carrying corrosive materials (such as chemicals, acids and fertilizers),
misuse (such as driving over curbs, overloading, spinning wheels, etc.), racing or participating in a
racing event, improper disconnection of components, modifying the exhaust system, tampering or
making adjustments which do not comply with Chrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the odometer will void your warranties.
DAMAGE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover fading or deterioration caused by exposure to the elements,
or repairs required due to airborne fallout, acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect
droppings, salt, sand, gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms, lightning, floods or any other event of
nature.
Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion from sand and dirt can affect the
appearance of a vehicle’s wheels (steel, chrome and aluminum) and other undercarriage parts. Some
surface corrosion with use is normal; it is not a defect and is not covered by any warranty.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND WEAR
The warranties in this booklet do not cover normal maintenance services, such as oil and filter
changes, general lubrication, tire rotation, engine tune-ups and replacing spark plugs. Required
maintenance services are described in detail in your Owner’s Manual and herein. The warranties also
do not cover worn wiper blades, clutch discs, brake rotors, pads, linings or drums, windshield and rear
window, wheel alignment and wheel balancing (unless they are defective, see page 4).

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.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE
INTERVAL THAT OCCURS FIRST.
