3/60 BASIC WARRANTY
If required because of a defect in material or workmanship, the 3/60 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:
• light bulbs and fuses
• wiper blades
• clutch discs
• brakes (rotors, pads, linings and drums)
• windshield and rear window
• wheel alignment and wheel balancing Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers, not by DaimlerChrysler. For
details, see the tire manufacturer’s warranty 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 (if equipped) 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 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. 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 commer-
cial 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 respon-
sibility 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.
