ABOUT YOUR WARRANTIES
WARRANTY START DATE
Time and distance limitations for all warranty coverage are measured from
the vehicle’s “warranty start date.” The “warranty start date” is the date
when the vehicle was originally delivered or first used, whichever date
occurred first.
VEHICLES COVERED
The warranties in this booklet cover new 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 Chrysler
parts and equipment (that is, Chrysler parts or equipment installed by
Chrysler 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 remanufactured Chrysler parts (see page 18).
TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty failed,
towing to the nearest Chrysler Retailer will be covered by the Roadside
Assistance Program (for details, see page 22).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements. See your
Owner’s Manual for towing instructions.
