OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
RECLAIMED 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.
CASSETTE TAPES AND CDS
There are some things you should know about cassette
tapes and non-commercial CDs. Labels applied to tape
cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off.
This can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove
a “stuck” CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,
some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may not
be compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or produce
error messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player by
using a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If a CD is
not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player
will not solve the problem.

ARBITRATION
ARBITRATION
If you are still not satisfied after following the three steps on the
previous page, you have yet another option.
DaimlerChrysler Canada participates in an arbitration program
administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan
(CAMVAP). CAMVAP will advise you about how your complaint may
be reviewed and resolved by an independent third party through
binding arbitration.
Our goal and that of our retailers is your complete satisfaction.
DaimlerChrysler Canada’s participation in CAMVAP makes a valuable
contribution to our achievement of that goal. There is no charge for
using CAMVAP. CAMVAP results are fast, fair and final, as the award
is binding on both you and DaimlerChrysler Canada.
CAMVAP has been implemented in all provinces and territories.
For more information, you can call CAMVAP directly or call
our Customer Assistance Centre. Please provide your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN).

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
5/100 ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
We are pleased to provide this 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program for
all new 2007 vehicles which have a 3-year or 60,000-kilometre Basic
Warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometre Powertrain Warranty.
Eligible vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for five
years or 100,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle’s
warranty start date. Vehicles placed in police, taxi, limousine, postal
or ambulance service and all SRT vehicles are covered for roadside
assistance for three 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 a
mechanical breakdown, it will be towed to the nearest authorized
DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer which services your brand of vehicle
(or to the DaimlerChrysler 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 DaimlerChrysler Retailer (or to
the DaimlerChrysler 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.

TOWING AFTER THE PROGRAM EXPIRES
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. Call the toll-free number and service will be
dispatched, but you will have to pay for the tow. For reimbursement
consideration, see your authorized retailer for further details.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The DaimlerChrysler 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 and private 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 ploughing 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.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 DaimlerChrysler 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 DaimlerChrysler 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
DaimlerChrysler 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.
IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown
at a considerable distance from a DaimlerChrysler Canada Retailer,
we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-DaimlerChrysler 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.
IF 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:


bill and towing invoice
side Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless
otherwise noted

by you will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement.
Originals will be returned upon request

was performed, or if service was provided by an unlicenced garage
or individual.

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.
DaimlerChrysler 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 three types of plans available for
purchase to suit most needs and the average length of ownership.
Vehicles placed in police, taxi, limousine, postal or ambulance
service and all SRT vehicles may qualify for a service contract.
Please see your selling retailer for “Special Use” Service Contract
availability.
††Subject to limitations. Details available at your selling retailer.
