vehicles 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
DaimlerChrysler parts and equipment (that is, DaimlerChrysler parts
or equipment installed by DaimlerChrysler 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 remanu -
factured DaimlerChrysler parts (see page 17).

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
• FLAT TIRE ? If you have a flat tire, the service facility will remove
it and install your spare tire. The spare tire must be inflated and in
sound operating condition. Tire repairs are not covered.
• OUT OF FUEL ? If your vehicle runs out of fuel, a small amount
of gasoline will be delivered to your location, where regulations
permit. In all other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will
be towed to the nearest re-fuelling centre. In these instances, the
cost of fuel purchased will be your responsibility.
Please read “About Roadside Assistance” (page 23) because there
are some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
abOut rOadside assistance
The DaimlerChrysler Canada Roadside Assistance Program is not
a warranty, but the coverage is concurrent with the Basic and
Powertrain Warranties.
C o v e r e d s e r v i c e m u s t b e p r o v i d e d i n C a n a d a o r t h e
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, aut ocross and any other form of off-road
use is not covered.
T h e p r o g r a m d o e s n o t c o v e r w i n c h i n g o r t o w i n g f o r
vehicles that become stuck while ploughing 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 commercial 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 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.

DaimlerChrysler 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.
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 DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer,
we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-DaimlerChrysler 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
$00 per incident.

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 Roa dside Assistance
