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.

it and install your spare tire. 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.

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

repair bill and towing invoice
• Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless

or individual.

24 As complete as our new warranty is, it may not give you total
protection for your ownership period, nor does it provide the
regular maintenance which is required to keep your new vehicle
at its optimal operating condition. If you lease a vehicle, you
should be aware of your obligation to maintain and repair
the vehicle.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Service Contracts can enhance your
new vehicle’s factory warranty from the day of delivery and provide
mechanical coverage on most major components ††
when your
factory warranty expires. There are 3 types of plans available for
purchase to suit most needs and the average length of ownership.
Vehicles placed in Police, Taxi, Limousine, Postal or
Ambulance service and all SRT vehicles may qualify for a service
contract. Please see your selling dealer for “Special Use” Service\
Contract availability.
†† Subject to limitations. Details available at your selling dealer.

contained in your Owner’ s Manual. Schedule
“B” best describes operating conditions in
Canada and is the recommended service

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

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
