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 Sebring
Convertible 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 remanu-
factured 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 DaimlerChrysler 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.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
5/100 ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
We are pleased to provide this 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program for
all new 2008 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 five
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 three 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.
DEAD BATTERY? If your battery is dead, jump-start assistance will 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).
LOCKED OUT? 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.)

ASSISTANCE

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
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
federal 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.

If your vehicle is towed to a retailer, you are responsible for
contacting the retailer to authorize the service
TOWING AFTER THE PROGRAM EXPIRES
Coverage under the Roadside Assistance Program expires at 5 years
or 100,000 kilometres (or at 3 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.
Some emissions coverage lasts longer than the Roadside
Assistance 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 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, 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 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.
IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown
at a considerable 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:


bill and towing invoice

contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless
otherwise noted

by you will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement.
Originals will be returned upon request

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.

MAINTENANCE Scheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs
required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled maintenance and
keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended Mopar
® lubricants and genuine Mopar parts.
In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your retailer. AVOID
PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.

There are two maintenance schedules
contained in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule
“B” best describes operating condi tions
in Canada and is the recom mended 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 (32°F); stop-and-
go driving; extensive engine idling; driving
in dusty conditions; short trips of less than 16.2 km (10 mi.); more than 50% of your
driving is at sustained high speeds during hot
weather, above 32°C (90°F); trailer towing; taxi,
police, or delivery service (commercial service);
off-road or desert driving; if equipped for and
operated with E-85 (ethanol) fuel. Schedule “A”
is for vehicles that are not operated under any of
the conditions 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
retailers, we strongly recommend that an
authorized Chrysler, Jeep
® or Dodge Retailer
perform this work. INTRODUCTION
