OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD kNOW
OTh ER T hi NgS YOU S h OUL d 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 26 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 i ncu rring
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.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD kNOW
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.
cassette tapes and cds

cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off.
This can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove
a “stuck” CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,
some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may not
be compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or produce
error messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player by
using a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If a CD is
not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player
will not solve the problem.

it and install your spare tire. The spare tire must be inflated and in
sound operating condition. Tire repairs are not covered.
• OUT OF FUEL ? If your vehicle runs out of fuel, a small amount
of gasoline will be delivered to your location, where regulations
permit. In all other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will
be towed to the nearest re-fuelling centre. In these instances, the
cost of fuel purchased will be your responsibility.
Please read “About Roadside Assistance” (page 23) because there
are some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

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.

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
$00 per incident.

OPTIONAL DAImLERCHRYSLER CANADA SERVICE CONTRACTS
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.
