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.

of nature. Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion from
