EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The Emission Performance Warranty only applies to cars and trucks with a GVW less than 3,855 kg
(8,500 lb).
For2 years or 40,000 kilometres,whichever occurs first, the Performance Warranty will cover the
cost of repairing or adjusting any components or parts of your vehicle that might be necessary to pass
an approved provincial Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program’s emissions test, but only if:
•your vehicle failed an approved provincial I/M emissions test; and
•your vehicle was properly maintained and operated until it failed the test; and
•warranty service is required in order for your vehicle to pass the provincial I/M test
Provincial test fees, if any, are not covered by this warranty.
If your province does not require emission testing, this 2/40 Emission Performance Warranty does not
apply.
HOW TO GET SERVICE UNDER THIS WARRANTY
If your vehicle fails an approved I/M emissions test within the Emission Performance Warranty
period, take it to an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer as soon as possible. Give the service
representative the printout that shows your vehicle failed the test. If possible, bring all service
receipts, maintenance logs and records to prove that your vehicle has been properly maintained.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to fire, accidents, abuse, negligence,
objects striking your vehicle, carrying corrosive materials (such as chemicals, acids and fertilizers),
misuse (such as driving over curbs, overloading, spinning wheels, etc.), racing or participating in a
racing event, improper disconnection of components, modifying the exhaust system, tampering or
making adjustments which do not comply with Chrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the odometer will void your warranties.
DAMAGE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover fading or deterioration caused by exposure to the elements,
or repairs required due to airborne fallout, acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect
droppings, salt, sand, gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms, lightning, floods or any other event of
nature.
Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion from sand and dirt can affect the
appearance of a vehicle’s wheels (steel, chrome and aluminum) and other undercarriage parts. Some
surface corrosion with use is normal; it is not a defect and is not covered by any warranty.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND WEAR
The warranties in this booklet do not cover normal maintenance services, such as oil and filter
changes, general lubrication, tire rotation, engine tune-ups and replacing spark plugs. Required
maintenance services are described in detail in your Owner’s Manual and herein. The warranties also
do not cover worn wiper blades, clutch discs, brake rotors, pads, linings or drums, windshield and rear
window, wheel alignment and wheel balancing (unless they are defective, see page 4).

EXCHANGE PARTS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due to repairs, Chrysler may offer
exchange service on some parts. Mopar
or Autopar™ brand exchange parts may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meet Chrysler 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.
RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations require the capture, purification and
reuse of automotive refrigerant gases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your air
conditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant.
DIGITAL VIDEO AND COMPACT DISCS(DVD/CD)
There are some things you should know about non-commercial DVDs and CDs. Labels applied to
home-recorded discs may curl, buckle or peel off. This can result in ejection failure, and repairs
required to remove a “stuck” disc are not covered by warranty. In addition, some home-recorded discs
may not be compatible with automotive players and may skip or produce error messages. If you
encounter this, check your player by using a commercial disc which is known to be playable. If a disc
is not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve the problem.

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:

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.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Scheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle performance and reliability.
The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs required due to improper
maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled maintenance and keep receipts or other
documents. Use only recommended Mopar® Lubricants and genuine Mopar® Parts. In the event that
a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your retailer.AVOID PRO-
LONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on
engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service
is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message
is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
5,600 kilometres since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800
kilometres.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OIL CHANGE INTERVALS EXCEED
16,000 KILOMETRES OR TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
ONCE A MONTH OR BEFORE A LONG TRIP:
•Check engine oil level.
•Check windshield washer fluid level.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder. Fill as needed.
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
AT EVERY OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AS INDICATED BY OIL CHANGE INDICATOR
SYSTEM:
•Change engine oil and filter. Oil changes prompted by the oil change indicator system can be
recorded in the oil change log section.
•Rotate the tires.Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear even if it occurs before the oil
indicator system turns on.
•Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
•Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
•Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
•Inspect exhaust system.
•Inspect engine air filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
WARNING!
•The performance of all scheduled service work is required to maintain your vehicle in good
operating condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if
the vehicle has not been properly maintained. While we do not insist that such work be
performed by factory authorized retailers, we strongly recommend that an authorized
Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge Retailer perform this work.
•You can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only service work for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you have any doubt about your
ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
•Failure to properly inspect and maintain your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling and performance. This could cause an accident.
