towing CHRYSLER PT CRUISER 2008 1.G Warranty Booklet

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTIES
WARRANTY START DATE
Time and distance limitations for all warranty coverage are measured from
the vehicle’s warranty start date, which is the date when the vehicle was
originally delivered or first used, whichever occurred first.
VEHICLES COVERED
The warranties in this booklet cover new 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
vehicles only which are built for sale in Canada and are registered and
normally operated in Canada. The warranties apply to all owners of
the vehicle.
COVERED REPAIRS
The warranties in this booklet cover repairs to factory-installed
DaimlerChrysler parts and equipment (that is, DaimlerChrysler parts or
equipment installed by DaimlerChrysler or by the selling retailer before the
vehicle was delivered to the first owner), if the repairs were necessary
because of a defect in material or workmanship. Covered repairs will be
done without charge, using new or remanufactured DaimlerChrysler parts
(see page 16).
TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty failed,
towing to the nearest Chrysler or Dodge Retailer will be covered by the
Roadside Assistance Program (for details, see page 20).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements. See your
Owner’s Manual for towing instructions.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTIES

•FLAT TIRE? If you have a flat tire, the service facility will remove it
and install your spare tire (where allowed by local provincial or state
legislation, tire/wheel size restrictions may apply). The spare tire must be
inflated and in sound operating condition. Tire repairs are not covered.
• OUT OF FUEL? If your vehicle runs out of fuel, a small amount of
gasoline will be delivered to your location, where regulations permit. In all
other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will be towed to the
nearest re-fuelling centre. In these instances, the cost of fuel purchased will
be your responsibility.
Please read About Roadside Assistance (page 22) because there are
some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

TOWING AFTER THE PROGRAM EXPIRES
Coverage under the Roadside Assistance Program expires at 5 years or
100,000 kilometres (or at3 years or 60,000 kilometres, if applicable),
whichever occurs first. If you call the toll-free number for assistance after
the Program expires, you will have to pay for the service provided.

Program.* For warranted emission system repairs after the program
expires, towing (only) will be provided on a reimbursement basis. Call the
toll-free number and service will be dispatched, but you will have to pay
for the tow. For reimbursement consideration, see your authorized retailer
for further details.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The DaimlerChrysler 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 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 DaimlerChrysler 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 any
incidental or consequential damages 
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 DaimlerChrysler Canada. Any loss or damage to your vehicle or
personal property resulting from providing roadside service is the respon-
sibility 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.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

DaimlerChrysler Canada reserves the right to limit services or reimburse-
ment claims for any vehicle, if in our opinion there is abuse of the services
or requests for service become unreasonable or too frequent.
The program may be amended or cancelled at any time without refund.
IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown at a consid-
erable distance from a DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the
right to engage a nearby non-DaimlerChrysler service facility to repair
your vehicle, to minimize inconvenience to you.
In very remote areas, if your vehicle cannot be taken by road to the
servicing retailer, transportation by rail or water may be necessary. The
program will cover a tow to the dock or rail terminal and also to the retailer
at the end of the trip, but special transportation by rail or water must be
arranged for and paid by you. We will reimburse you for special
transportation costs, up to $300 per incident.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY
If you have to pay for a service that is normally covered by the program,
you may claim reimbursement under the following conditions:
• You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
• Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill
and towing invoice
• Reimbursement will be limited to the local Road side Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless otherwise
noted
• Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you
will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be
returned upon request
• Mail your claims to:
DaimlerChrysler Canada Roadside Assistance
248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845
London, Ontario N6A 4T4
DaimlerChrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented
for payment later than 30 days from the date the service was performed, or
if service was provided by an unlicensed garage or individual.
