OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
O
PTIONAL 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 notresponsible for
other companies’ contracts. See page 24 for details on available
service contracts.
A PPEARANCE 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 dealer immediately, because if
the problem worsens due to use and exposure, repairs will not be
covered by any warranty. P
RODUCTION CHANGES
DaimlerChrysler Canada and its dealers reserve the right to make
changes in vehicles built and/or sold at any time without incurring
any obligations to make the same or similar changes on vehicles
which were built and/or sold previously.
E XCHANGE PAR TS
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.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
R
ECLAIMED 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. C ASSETTE TAPES ANDCDS
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.
