ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
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-kilometre Basic
Warranty and a 5-year or 100,000-kilometre Powertrain Warranty.
Eligible vehicles must be registered in Canada and are covered for five
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 three 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 a
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.)

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
federal 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.

TOWING AFTER THE PROGRAM EXPIRES
Coverage under the Roadside Assistance Program expires at 5 years
or 100,000 kilometres (or at 3 years or 60,000 kilometres, if
applicable), whichever occurs first. If you call the toll-free number
for assistance after the program expires, you will have to pay for the
service provided.
Some emissions coverage lasts longer than the Roadside
Assistance Program.* For warranted emission system repairs
after the program expires, towing (only) will be provided on a
reimbursement basis. Call the toll-free number and service will be
dispatched, but you will have to pay for the tow. For reimbursement
consideration, see your authorized retailer for further details.
