2008 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER air condition

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. A CD is not
compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve
the problem.

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

•FLAT TIRE? If you have a flat tire, the service facility will remove it
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.
Please read About Roadside Assistance (page 22) because there are
some limitations that may affect the service available to you.

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.
