ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
A
BOUT 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 the
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 and private roads). Cross-
country, logging, autocross 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 dealership 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 Dealer.
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 commercial 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 responsibility 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
reimbursement 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.
I N REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown
at a considerable distance from a DaimlerChrysler Canada
Dealership, 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 dealership, transportation by rail or water may be
necessary. The program will cover a tow to the dock or rail terminal
and also to the dealership 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. I
F 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 Roadside 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 unlicenced garage
or individual.

keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended Mopar Lubricants \

AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after
a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the
oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil-level reading.

if required.
ONCE A MONTH

wear or damage.

DETERIORA TION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
There are two maintenance schedules
contained in your Owner’ s Manual. Schedule
“B” best describes operating conditions in
Canada and is the recommended service
schedule. For your convenience, the scheduled
maintenance intervals outlined in this booklet
follow the Severe Service Schedule as described
in your Owner’ s Manual. Schedule “B” is for
vehicles that are operated under one or more of
the following conditions: day or night tempera -
tures are below 0 °C; stop-and-go driving;
extensive engine idling; driving in dusty
conditions; short trips of less than 16.2 km; more than 50% of your driving is at sustained

listed under Schedule “B.”
The performance of all scheduled service
work is required to maintain your vehicle in
good operating condition. DaimlerChrysler
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 dealers, we strongly recommend
that an authorized Chrysler , Jeep
®or Dodge
Dealer perform this work.
