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 a9stuck9CD 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. If a CD is not
compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve
the problem.

ARBITRATION
If you are still not satisfied after following the three steps on the previous
page, you have yet another option.
Chrysler Canada participates in an arbitration program administered by the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP will
advise you about how your complaint may be reviewed and resolved by an
independent third party through binding arbitration.
Our goal and that of our retailers is your complete satisfaction. Chrysler
Canada's participation in CAMVAP makes a valuable contribution to our
achievement of that goal. There is no charge for using CAMVAP.
CAMVAP results are fast, fair and final, as the award is binding on both
you and Chrysler Canada.
CAMVAP has been implemented in all provinces and territories. For more
information, you can call CAMVAP directly or call our Customer Assis-
tance Centre. Please provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler 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 the 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 Chrysler 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 any9incidental or consequential damages9
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 Chrysler Canada. Any loss or damage to your vehicle or personal
property resulting from providing roadside service is the responsibility 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.

Chrysler Canada reserves the right to limit services or reimbursement
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 Chrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the right to
engage a nearby non-Chrysler 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:
²You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
²Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill
and towing invoice
²Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless otherwise
noted
²Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you
will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be
returned upon request
²Mail your claims to:
Chrysler Canada Roadside Assistance
248 Pall Mall, P.O. Box 5845
London, Ontario N6A 4T4
Chrysler 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.
