HOW TO GET SERVICE

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
DaimlerChrysler 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.
DaimlerChrysler Canada stands fully behind its service contracts. Be sure
that the contract you buy is a genuine DaimlerChryslerService Contract.
We are notresponsible for other companies’ contracts. See page 26 for
details on available service contracts.
APPEARANCE 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.
PRODUCTION CHANGES
DaimlerChrysler 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.
EXCHANGE PARTS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due to repairs,
DaimlerChrysler may offer exchange service on some parts. Mopar or
Autopar brand exchange parts may be new, remanufactured, recondi-
tioned or repaired, but all meet DaimlerChrysler 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.
17
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 stuckCD 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.
