OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
Chrysler 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.
Chrysler Canada stands fully behind its service contracts. Be sure that the
contract you buy is a genuineChryslerService Contract. We arenot
responsible 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
Chrysler 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,
Chrysler may offer exchange service on some parts. Mopar
tor AutoparŸ
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.

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler 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, private and seasonal roads). Cross-country, logging, auto
cross 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 Chrysler 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 any9incidental or consequential damages9
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 commer-
cial property, loss of revenue, etc.
All service providers are independent contractors and are not employees or
agents of Chrysler 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.
