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 notresponsible 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 incurring
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.

a public roadway and appears to be undamaged, and the tow facility

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.
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 and private roads). Cross-
country, logging, autocross 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 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.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
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
$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:
DaimlerChrysler Canada Roadside Assistance
248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845
London, Ontario N6A 4T4
DaimlerChrysler 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 unlicenced garage
or individual.

2006 Chrysler 300C/300 • Dodge Magnum/Charger24As complete as our new warranty is, it may not give you total
protection for your ownership period, nor does it provide the
regular maintenance which is required to keep your new vehicle
at its optimal operating condition. If you lease a vehicle, you
should be aware of your obligation to maintain and repair
the vehicle.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Service Contracts can enhance your
new vehicle’s factory warranty from the day of delivery and provide
mechanical coverage on most major components
††when your
factory warranty expires. There are three types of plans available for
purchase to suit most needs and the average length of ownership.
Vehicles placed in police, taxi, limousine, postal or ambulance
service and all SRT vehicles may qualify for a service contract.
Please see your selling retailer for “Special Use” Service Contract
availability.
