WHAT IS NOT COVERED
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to
fire, accidents, abuse, negligence, objects striking your vehicle,
carrying corrosive materials (such as chemicals, acids and
fertilizers), misuse (such as driving over curbs, overloading,
spinning wheels, etc.), racing or participating in a racing event,
improper disconnection of components, modifying the exhaust
system, tampering or making adjustments which do not comply
with DaimlerChrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the
odometer will void your warranties.
DAMAGE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover fading or deterioration
caused by exposure to the elements, or repairs required due to
airborne fallout, acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect
droppings, salt, sand, gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms,
lightning, floods or any other event of nature. Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday
abrasion from sand and dirt can affect the appearance of a vehicle’s
wheels (steel, chrome and aluminum) and other undercarriage
parts. Some surface corrosion with use is normal; it is not a defect
and is not covered by any warranty.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND WEAR
The warranties in this booklet do not cover normal
maintenance services, such as oil and filter changes, general
lubrication, tire rotation, engine tune-ups and replacing spark
plugs. Required maintenance services are described in detail in
your Owner’s Manual and herein. The warranties also do not
cover light bulbs and fuses, worn wiper blades, clutch discs, brake
rotors, pads, linings or drums, windshield and rear window,
wheel alignment and wheel balancing (unless they are defective,
see page 7).
MAINTENANCE 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.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after
a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the
oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level reading.
Add oil only when the level is at or below the
ADD or MIN mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add
if required.
ONCE A MONTH
• Check the tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage.
• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake
master cylinder, power steering and transmission
and add as needed.
• Check all the lights and all other electrical items
for correct operation.
• Check rubber seals on each side of the radiator
for proper fit.
• Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS –
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT
DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
There are two maintenance schedules
contained in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule
“B” best describes operating conditions in
Canada and is the recommended service
schedule. For your convenience, the scheduled
maintenance intervals outlined in this booklet
follow the Severe Service Schedule as described
in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule “B” is for
vehicles that are operated under one or more of
the following conditions: day or night tempera-
tures are below 0°C; stop-and-go driving;
extensive engine idling; driving in dusty
conditions; short trips of less than 16.2 km;more than 50% of your driving is at sustained
high speeds during hot weather, above 32°C;
trailer towing; taxi, police, or delivery service
(commercial service); off-road or desert driving;
if equipped for and operating with E-85
(ethanol) fuel. Schedule “A” is for vehicles that
are not operated under any of the conditions
listed under Schedule “B.”
The performance of all scheduled service
work is required to maintain your vehicle in
good operating condition. DaimlerChrysler
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. INTRODUCTION
