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.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is your responsibility under the terms of these warranties to
operate and main tain your vehicle as recommended in the Owner’s
Manual. Regular scheduled maintenance, described in your Owner’s
Manual and herein, is essential to trouble-free operation.
We strongly recommend that you return to your selling

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
Chrysler or Dodge 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.

As 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.
††Subject to limitations. Details available at your selling retailer.

There are two maintenance schedules contained in
your Owner’s Manual. Schedule “B” best describes
operating cond itions in Canada and is the recom­
mended service schedule. For your convenience,
the scheduled maintenance intervals outlined in
this booklet follow the Severe Service Schedule
as described in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule
“B” is for vehicles that are operated under one
or more of the following conditions: day or night
temper atures are below 0°C (32°F); stop ­and ­
go driving; extensive engine idling; driving in
dusty conditions; short trips of less than 16.2
km (10 mi.); more than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above

is required to maintain your vehicle in good
operating condition. DaimlerChrysler Canada
Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty coverage
if the vehicle has not been properly maintained.

performed by factory ­authorized retailers,
we strongly recommend that an authorized
