Basic Warranty will cover the adjustment, repair or replacement of
any factory-installed part of your vehicle except tires for 3 years or
60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The following items are
exceptions; they are only covered (if defective) for 1 year or 20,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first:

booklet in your glovebox. Your DaimlerChrysler Retailer may be
able to assist you if you experience a problem with a factory-installed
tire.
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result
in sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.
Your Koss headphones are warranted by the manufacturer,
not by DaimlerChrysler. For details, see the Koss manufacturer’s
warranty card in your glovebox.

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, 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 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.
