HOW TO GET SERVICE
HOW TO GET SERVICE
IN CANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge
Retailer. If you move or are travelling in Canada, warranty service
may be requested from any authorized DaimlerChrysler Retailer, but
preferably one who sells the same Chrysler or Dodge brand vehicle as
yours.
IN THE UNITED STAT E S (INCLUDING U.S. POSSESSIONS AND
TERRITORIES) AND MEXICO:
If you are travelling temporarily in the United States or Mexico, and
your vehicle remains registered in Canada, your DaimlerChrysler
Canada Warranty will still apply. Service may be requested at any
authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, you should take your vehicle
to an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. If the authorized retailer
charges you for repairs which you feel should be covered under your warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the work done.
When your vehicle returns to Canada, contact the DaimlerChrysler
Canada Customer Assistance Centre (page 18) for reimbursement
consideration. Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle
does not return to Canada.
IF YOU MOVE:
If you are moving to another country, be sure to contact the customs
department of the destination country before you move. Vehicle
importation rules vary considerably from country to country.
If you are moving to the United States, be sure to also contact
the DaimlerChrysler Motors Customer Assistance office at
1-800-992-1997 to obtain the necessary documentation to register
your vehicle and to determine warranty eligibility in the U.S.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle is registered outside of Canada, and you have not
followed the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer
be eligible for warranty coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to
Canadian Government officials or military personnel on assignment
outside of Canada will continue to be covered by the Basic Warranty.)

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
DaimlerChrysler 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.
DaimlerChrysler Canada stands fully behind its service
contracts. Be sure that the contract you buy is a genuine
DaimlerChrysler Service Contract. We are not 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
DaimlerChrysler Canada and its retailers reserve the right to make
changes in vehicles built and/or sold at any time without in cur ring
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, DaimlerChrysler may offer exchange service on some
parts. Mopar
® or Autopar® brand exchange parts may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meet
DaimlerChrysler 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.

2007 Passenger Cars17
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations
require the capture, purification and reuse of automotive refrigerant
gases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your air
conditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation of
purified reclaimed refrigerant.
CASSETTE TA P E S AND CDS
There are some things you should know about cassette
tapes and non-commercial CDs. Labels applied to tape
cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off.
This can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove
a “stuck” CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,
some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may
not be compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or
produce error messages. If you encounter this, check your CD
player by using a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If
a CD is not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the
player will not solve the problem.

5/100 ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
We are pleased to provide this 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program for
all new 2007 vehicles which have a 3-year or 60,000-kilometre Basic
Warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometre Powertrain Warranty.
Eligible vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for 5
years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s
warranty start date. Vehicles placed in police, taxi, limousine, postal
or ambulance service and all SRT vehicles, are covered for roadside
assistance for 3 years or 60,000 kilometres only (whichever occurs
first). Roadside Assistance service will be provided to the owner or
driver of an eligible vehicle.
NEED A TOW? If your vehicle cannot be driven because of a
mechanical breakdown, it will be towed to the nearest authorized
DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer which services your brand of vehicle
(or to the DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer of your choice, provided it
is within a 35-kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
STUCK? If your vehicle is stuck in a ditch or snow on or adjacent to
a public roadway and appears to be undamaged, and the tow facility has
access, it will be winched to the nearest road surface. If your vehicle is
unable to proceed under its own power and a tow is required once
the winch is performed, you will be responsible for paying the service
facility for the winch and the tow.

be dispatched to your location. In the event that your vehicle fails to start,
your vehicle will be towed to the nearest DaimlerChrysler Retailer (or to
the DaimlerChrysler Retailer of your choice provided it is within a
35-kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
If your keys are locked in your vehicle or your
locks are frozen, help will be sent to your location. (Service is limited
to providing access to the seating area only and does not include the
cost of replacing keys.)
