YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
All of the warranties in this booklet are limited warranties and they
give you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which
vary from province to province. Some provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitation of how long 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 DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. applicable to this
vehicle. Any implied warranty or condition of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose applicable to this vehicle is limited i\
n
duration to the duration of these limited warranties.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. shall not be liable for commercial
loss, special or consequential damages resulting from breach of
these written warranties or of any implied warranty or condition.

operate and maintain your vehicle as recommended in the Owner’s

for all service, both during and after the warranty periods.

EMISSION WARRANTIES
EMISSION W
ARRANTIES
DaimlerChrysler 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 the “Scheduled Maintenance”
instructions in your Owner’s Manual and herein. Only
DaimlerChrysler 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. DaimlerChrysler 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
DaimlerChrysler 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 Dealer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized
dealer is not available, contact DaimlerChrysler Canada Customer
Assistance (page 18) and request emission warranty service help.
