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.

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.

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.

HOW TO GET SERVICE
HOW TO GET SERVICE
IN CANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized DaimlerChrysler
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 Dodge brand vehicle as yours.
IN THE UNITED STAT E S (INCLUDING U.S. POSSESSIONS AND TERRITORIES)
AND MEXICO:
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 Dodge Retailer.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, you should take your vehicle
to an authorized 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
1-800-992-1997 to obtain the necessary documentation to register
your vehicle and to determine warranty eligibility in the U.S.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle is registered outside of Canada, and you have not
followed the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer
be eligible for warranty coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to
Canadian Government officials or military personnel on assignment
outside of Canada will continue to be covered by the Basic Warranty.)

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
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
DaimlerChrysler Service Contract. We are not responsible 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 in cur ring
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, reconditioned 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.
