INTRODUCTION
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance. Based on engine operation condi-
tion the oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate, this means that service is required for your
vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 800 km. The oil change
indicator message will not monitor the time since
the last oil change. Change your vehicles oil if it
has been 6 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is NOT illu-
minated. Change your engine oil more often if
you drive your vehicle off-road for an extendedperiod of time.Under no circumstances should
oil change intervals exceed 10,000 km or
6 months, whichever comes first.Your dealer
will reset the oil change indicator message after
completing the scheduled oil change. If this
scheduled oil change is performed by someone
other than your dealer the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described in the Owner's
Manual.
The performance of all scheduled service work is
required to maintain your vehicle in good operat-
ing 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, Jeeptor Dodge Retailer
perform this work.AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
²Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Check-
ing the oil level while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level reading. Add oil only when the level is at
or below the ADD or MIN mark.
²Check the windshield washer solvent and add
if required.
ONCE A MONTH
²Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
²Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
²Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder, power steering and
transmission and add as needed.
²Check all lights and other electrical items for
correct operation.
²Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if
required.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE

you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from

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 Chrysler Canada Inc. applicable to this vehicle. Any implied warranty
or condition of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose appli-
cable to this vehicle is limited in duration to the duration of these limited
warranties.

consequential damages resulting from breach of these written warranties or
of any implied warranty or condition.

EMISSION WARRANTIES
Chrysler 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 the9Scheduled Maintenance9instructions in your Owner's
Manual and herein. Only Chrysler 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. Chrysler 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 Chrysler 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 Chrysler Canada Customer Assistance (page 18) and
request emission warranty service help.
