YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
WARRANTY
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.
4
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.
O
PERATION ANDMAINTENANCE
It is your responsibility under the terms of these warranties to operate and maintain your vehicle as recommended in the Owner’s Manual. Regular scheduled maintenance, described in your Owner’s Manual and herein, is essential to trouble-free operation.
We strongly recommend that you return to your selling retailer for all service, both during and after the warranty periods. Chrysler Canada Retailers are best equipped and trained to provide all levels of service and maintenance for your vehicle.
YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
High-tech diagnostic equipment is sometimes needed to service a vehicle efficiently and accurately. Chrysler Canada Retailers have unique diagnos­tic computers and electronic and mechanical tools, specially designed to service our cars and trucks, and we provide special technical training so their technicians can render the skilled care your vehicle needs.
W
ARRANTY SERVICE
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. We recommend that you return to your selling retailer for this service; however, you may request warranty service for your vehicle from any Chrysler Retailer. See “How to get service” on page 15.
N
AME AND ADDRESS CHANGES
The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires vehicle manufacturers to notify owners if the correction of a safety-related defect becomes necessary. If you change your name or address, or if you are a subsequent owner of this vehicle, please call the Chrysler Canada Customer Records Department at 1-800-373-1474. You can also request to have these changes completed by any authorized Chrysler Canada retailer.

Time and distance limitations for all warranty coverage are measured from the vehicle’s warranty start date,which is the date when the vehicle was originally delivered or first used, whichever occurred first.
V
EHICLES 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.

C
OVERED 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.

EMISSION WARRANTIES
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 Maintenanceinstructions in your Owner’s Manual and herein. Only Chrysler parts should be used for maintenance and repair of your vehicle’s emission control systems.
10
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 Chrysler or Dodge Retailer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized retailer is not available, contact Chrysler Canada Customer Assistance (page 18) and request emission warranty service help.
EMISSION DEFECT WARRANTY / EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
EMISSION DEFECT WARRANTY
The 3/60 Basic Warranty covers all emission control components for 3 years or 60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The Emission Defect Warranty provides longer coverage for specified components.

EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The Emission Performance Warranty only applies to cars and trucks with a GVW less than 3,855 kg (8,500 lb).
For 2 years or 40,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, the Performance Warranty will cover the cost of repairing or adjusting any components or parts of your vehicle that might be necessary to pass an approved provincial Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program’s emissions test, but only if:
your vehicle failed an approved provincial I/M emissions test; and
your vehicle was properly maintained and operated until it failed the
test; and
warranty service is required in order for your vehicle to pass the provincial I/M test
Provincial test fees, if any, are not covered by this warranty.
H
OW TO GET SERVICE UNDER THIS WARRANTY
If your vehicle fails an approved I/M emissions test within the Emission Performance Warranty period, take it to an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer as soon as possible. Give the service representative the printout that shows your vehicle failed the test. If possible, bring all service receipts, maintenance logs and records to prove that your vehicle has been properly maintained.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
O
PTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
Chrysler 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.
Chrysler Canada stands fully behind its service contracts. Be sure that the contract you buy is a genuine Chrysler Service Contract. We are not responsible 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 retailer immediately, because if the problem worsens due to use and exposure, repairs will not be covered by any warranty.
16
P
RODUCTION CHANGES
Chrysler Canada and its retailers 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 PARTS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due to repairs, Chrysler may offer exchange service on some parts. Mopar brand exchange parts may be new, remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meet Chrysler 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.
D
IGITAL VIDEO AND COMPACT DISCS(DVD/CD
There are some things you should know about non-commercial DVDs and CDs. Labels applied to home-recorded discs may curl, buckle or peel off. This can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove a “stuck” disc are not covered by warranty. In addition, some home-recorded discs may not be compatible with automotive players and may skip or produce error messages. If you encounter this, check your player by using a commercial disc which is known to be playable. If a disc is not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve the problem.

Eligible vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for 5 years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s warranty start date. Vehicles placed in taxi, limousine, postal or ambulance service and all SRT vehicles, are covered for roadside assistance for 3 years or 60,000 kilometres only (whichever occurs first). Roadside Assistance service will be provided to the owner or driver of an eligible vehicle.

NEED A TOW? If your vehicle cannot be driven because of mechanical breakdown, it will be towed to the nearest authorized Chrysler Canada Retailer which services your brand of vehicle (or to the Chrysler Canada Retailer of your choice, provided it is within a 35-kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
STUCK? If your vehicle is stuck in a ditch or snow on or adjacent to a public roadway and appears to be undamaged, and the tow facility has access, it will be winched to the nearest road surface. If your vehicle is unable to proceed under its own power and a tow is required once the winch is performed, you will be responsible for paying the service facility for the winch and the tow.
DEAD BATTERY? If your battery is dead, jump-start assistance will be dispatched to your location. In the event that your vehicle fails to start, your vehicle will be towed to the nearest Chrysler Retailer (or to the Chrysler Retailer of your choice provided it is within a 35-kilometre distance of the point of breakdown).
LOCKED OUT? If your keys are locked in your vehicle or your locks are frozen, help will be sent to your location. (Service is limited to providing access to the seating area only and does not include the cost of replacing keys.)
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
FLAT TIRE? If you have a flat tire, the service facility will remove 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.
Please read About Roadside Assistance(page 22) because there are some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

OWING AFTER THE PROGRAM EXPIR ES
Coverage under the Roadside Assistance Program expires at 5 years or 100,000 kilometres (or at 3 years or 60,000 kilometres, if applicable),
whichever occurs first. If you call the toll-free number for assistance after the Program expires, you will have to pay for the service provided.
Some emissions coverage lasts longer than the Roadside Assistance Program.* For warranted emission system repairs after the program expires, towing (only) will be provided on a reimbursement basis.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
A
BOUT 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.
22
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 any incidental or consequential damages connected 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.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
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.
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 Chrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-Chrysler 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 retailer, transportation by rail or water may be necessary. The program will cover a tow to the dock or rail terminal and also to the retailer 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
F YOU HAVE TO PAY
If you have to pay for a service that is normally covered by the program, you may claim reimbursement under the following conditions:
You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill
and towing invoice
Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless otherwise noted
Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be returned upon request
Mail your claims to: Chrysler Canada Roadside Assistance 248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845 London, Ontario N6A 4T4
Chrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented for payment later than 30 days from the date the service was performed, or if service was provided by an unlicensed garage or individual.
