ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler 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 the 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 Chrysler 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 anyincidental or consequential damagesconnected 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 Chrysler
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.
Chrysler 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
Chrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-Chrysler 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 $300 per incident.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY
If you have to pay for a service that is normally covered by the 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 Roadside Assistance contractor rates, to a maximum of
$100 per incident, unless otherwise noted
•Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you will be accepted for
consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be returned upon request
•Mail your claims to:
Chrysler Canada Roadside Assistance
248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845
London, Ontario N6A 4T4
Chrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented for payment later than 30 days from
the date the service was performed, or if service was provided by an unlicensed garage or individual.
