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 24 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.

5/100 ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
We are pleased to provide this 24-hour Roadside Assistance Program for all
new 2008 vehicles which have a 3-year or 60,000-kilometreBasic
Warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometre Powertrain Warranty. Eligible
vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for 5 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 3 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 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.)

and install your spare tire (where allowed by local provincial or state
legislation, tire/wheel size restrictions may apply). 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.

some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

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.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

DaimlerChrysler Canada reserves the right to limit services or reimburse-
ment 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 consid-
erable 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:
• You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
• Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill
and towing invoice
• Reimbursement will be limited to the local Road side Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless otherwise
noted
• Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you
will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be
returned upon request
• Mail your claims to:
DaimlerChrysler Canada Roadside Assistance
248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845
London, Ontario N6A 4T4
DaimlerChrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented
for payment later than 30 days from the date the service was performed, or
if service was provided by an unlicensed garage or individual.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER CANADA SERVICE CONTRACTS
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 vehi-
cle’s factory warranty from the day of delivery and provide mechanical
coverage on most major components
††when your factory warranty expires.
There are 3 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.
