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, recreationalareas, construction sites, open fields and private roads). Cross-country, logging, autocross and any other form of off-road use isnot 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 dealership to another, or service if thedriver 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 dealer.
