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.
C o v e r e d s e r v i c e m u s t b e p r o v i d e d i n C a n a d a o r t h e
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, aut ocross and any other form of off-road
use is not covered.
T h e p r o g r a m d o e s n o t c o v e r w i n c h i n g o r t o w i n g f o r
vehicles that become stuck while ploughing 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.
