SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING SERVICE FOR
YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The Appointment
If you are having warranty work done, be sure to have the
right papers with you. Take your warranty folder. All work
to be performed may not be covered by the warranty.
Discuss additional charges with the service manager. Keep a
maintenance log of your vehicle's service history. This can
often provide a clue to the current problem.
Prepare A List
Make a written list of your vehicle's problems or the specific
work you want done. If you've had an accident or work done
that is not on your maintenance log, let the service advisor
know.
Be Reasonable With Requests
If you list a number of items and you must have your vehicle
by the end of the day, discuss the situation with the service
advisor and list the items in order of priority. At many autho-rized dealers, you may obtain a rental vehicle at a minimal
daily charge. If you need a rental, it is advisable to make
these arrangements when you call for an appointment.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
The manufacturer and its authorized dealer are vitally inter
-
ested in your satisfaction. We want you to be happy with our
products and services.
Warranty service must be done by an authorized dealer. We
strongly recommend that you take the vehicle to an autho -
rized dealer. They know your vehicle the best, and are most
concerned that you get prompt and high quality service. The
manufacturer's authorized dealers have the facilities,
factory-trained technicians, special tools, and the latest infor -
mation to ensure the vehicle is fixed correctly and in a timely
manner.

after the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty
expires. The manufacturer stands behind only the manufac-
turer's service contracts. If you purchased a manufacturer's
service contract, you will receive Plan Provisions and an
Owner Identification Card in the mail within three weeks of
the vehicle delivery date. If you have any questions about the service contract, call the manufacturer's Service Contract
National Customer Hotline at 1-800-521-9922 (Canadian resi
-
dents, call (800) 465-2001 English / (800) 387-9983 French).
The manufacturer will not stand behind any service contract
that is not the manufacturer's service contract. It is not
responsible for any service contract other than the manufac -
turer's service contract. If you purchased a service contract
that is not a manufacturer's service contract, and you require
service after the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty expires, please refer to the contract documents,
and contact the person listed in those documents.
We appreciate that you have made a major investment when
you purchased the vehicle. Authorized dealers have made
major investments in facilities, tools, and training to assure
that you are absolutely delighted with the ownership experi -
ence. You will be pleased with their sincere efforts to resolve
any warranty issues or related concerns.
