ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler 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 Chrysler 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 anyincidental or consequential damagesconnected 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 Chrysler
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.
Chrysler 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.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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 PRO-
LONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on
engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service
is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence when the “Change Oil” message
is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
5,600 kilometres since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800
kilometres.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OIL CHANGE INTERVALS EXCEED
16,000 KILOMETRES OR TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
ONCE A MONTH OR BEFORE A LONG TRIP:
•Check engine oil level.
•Check windshield washer fluid level.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and
transmission as needed.
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
AT EVERY OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AS INDICATED BY OIL CHANGE INDICATOR
SYSTEM:
•Change engine oil and filter. Oil changes prompted by the oil change indicator system can be
recorded in the oil change log section.
•Rotate the tires.Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear even if it occurs before the oil
indicator system turns on.
•Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
•Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick.
•Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
•Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
•Inspect exhaust system.

WARNING!
•The performance of all scheduled service work is required to maintain your vehicle in good
operating condition. Chrysler 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.
•You can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only service work for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment. If you have any doubt about your
ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
•Failure to properly inspect and maintain your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling and performance. This could cause an accident.
