INFORMATION
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
All of the warranties in this booklet are limited warranties and they give
you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from
province to province. Some provinces do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of how long
an implied warranty lasts or who is eligible for coverage, so the stated
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.The limited warranties in this booklet are the only express warranties made
by Chrysler Canada Inc. applicable to this vehicle. Any implied warranty
or condition of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
applicable to this vehicle is limited in duration to the duration of these
limited warranties.
Chrysler Canada Inc. shall not be liable for commercial loss, special or
consequential damages resulting from breach of these written warranties
or of any implied warranty or condition.

maintain your vehicle as recommended in the Owner’s Manual. Regular

service, both during and after the warranty periods. Chrysler Canada

maintenance for your vehicle.

EMISSION WARRANTIES
Chrysler Canada warrants that your new vehicle was designed, built and
equipped to conform at the time of sale with applicable federal and
provincial emissions standards, and that the vehicle is at the time of sale
free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause it to fail
to conform to the applicable emission standards within the warranty
periods specified. A covered defect is one which causes your vehicle to fail
to meet applicable emission control regulations.
To keep your vehicle operating properly and in conformance with emission
regulations, see the “Scheduled Maintenance” instructions in your Owner’s
Manual. Only Chrysler parts should be used for maintenance and repair of
your vehicle’s emission control systems.You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass them on to
the next owner of your vehicle, in case questions arise concerning
maintenance. Chrysler Canada has the right to deny warranty coverage if
your vehicle has not been properly maintained, or if repairs are needed
because parts other than Chrysler parts were used; however, denial will not
be based on the lack of maintenance records alone.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized Dodge Retailer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized retailer is not
available, contact Chrysler Canada Customer Assistance (page 20) and
request emission warranty service help.

CONTRACTS
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.
Chrysler 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.
Please see your selling retailer for “Special Use” Service Contract
availability.
