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 DaimlerChrysler 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 limited warranties.
DaimlerChrysler 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.

retailer for all service, both during and after the warranty periods.

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 2008 Chrysler Sebring
Convertible 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
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 16).
TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty
failed, towing to the nearest DaimlerChrysler Retailer will be covered
by the Roadside Assistance Program (for details, see page 20).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements.
See your Owner’s Manual for towing instructions.

CORROSION WARRANTY
CORROSION WARRANTY
For 3 years, regardless of distance driven, your Cor rosion 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 collision damage is obviously neglected and allowed to worsen
until a hole develops, this warranty will not cover the repair.
COLLISION DAMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and needs sheet metal
repair or replacement, be sure the body shop uses only genuine
DaimlerChrysler parts and applies anti-corrosion materials to
the parts repaired or replaced. Your Corrosion Warranty does
not cover replacement parts not supplied by DaimlerChrysler, or
any damage which is caused by the use of non-DaimlerChrysler
replacement parts.
See also What Is Not Covered on page 12.

EMISSION WARRANTIES
EMISSION WARRANTIES
DaimlerChrysler 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 Main tenance”
instructions in your Owner’s Manual and herein. Only
DaimlerChry sler 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. DaimlerChrysler 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
DaimlerChrysler parts were used; however, denial will not be based
on the lack of maintenance records alone.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
DaimlerChrysler Retailer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized
retailer is not available, contact DaimlerChrysler Canada Customer
Assistance (page 18) and request emission warranty service help.
