EXPORTED VEHICLES
EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BY LAW,
THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS VE-
HICLE IF IT IS SOLD IN OR REGISTERED IN COUN-
TRIES OTHER THAN CANADA.
This policy does not apply to vehicles that have received
authorization for export from Chrysler Canada. Retailers may
not give authorization for export. You should consult an
authorized retailer to determine this vehicle’s warranty cover-
age if you have any questions.

TOTAL LOSS AND SALVAGE VEHICLES
Any vehicle that is declared to be a total loss by any insurance company,
or is rebuilt after being declared to be a total loss, or is otherwise
designated as “salvage,” “scrap,” “rebuilt” or words of similar impact will
no longer have any warranty coverage.
Chrysler Canada will deny warranty coverage without notice if it learns
that a vehicle is ineligible for coverage for any of these reasons.
RESTRICTED WARRANTY
Chrysler Canada may restrict the warranty on your vehicle if the vehicle
is not properly maintained, or if it is abused or neglected and the abuse or
neglect interferes with the proper functioning of the vehicle. If the
warranty is restricted, coverage may be denied or subject to approval by
Chrysler Canada before repairs are performed.

HOW TO GET SERVICE
IN CANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Dodge Retailer. If you
move or are travelling in Canada, warranty service may be requested from
any authorized Dodge Retailer, but preferably one who sells the same
Dodge brand vehicle as yours.
IN THE UNITED STATES(INCLUDINGU.S.POSSESSIONS
AND TERRITORIES
)AND MEXICO:
If you are travelling temporarily in the United States or Mexico, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, your Chrysler Canada Warranty will
still apply. Service may be requested at any authorized Dodge Retailer.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OFNORTHAMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, you should take your vehicle to an
authorized Dodge Retailer. If the authorized retailer charges you for repairs
which you feel should be covered under your warranty, please get a
detailed receipt for the work done. When your vehicle returns to Canada,contact the Chrysler Canada Customer Assistance Centre (page 20) for
reimbursement consideration. Reimbursement will not be considered if the
vehicle does not return to Canada.
IF YOU MOVE:
If you are moving to another country, be sure to contact the customs
department of the destination country before you move. Vehicle importa-
tion rules vary considerably from country to country.
If you are moving to the United States, be sure to also contact the Chrysler
Motors Customer Assistance office at 1-800-992-1997 to obtain the
necessary documentation to register your vehicle and to determine
warranty eligibility in the U.S.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle is registered outside of Canada, and you have not followed
the procedure set out above, your vehicle will no longer be eligible for
warranty coverage of any kind. (Vehicles registered to Canadian Govern-
ment officials or military personnel on assignment outside of Canada will
continue to be covered by the Basic Warranty.)

OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
Chrysler 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.
Chrysler Canada stands fully behind its service contracts. Be sure that the
contract you buy is a genuineChryslerService Contract. We arenot
responsible for other companies’ contracts. See page 26 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
Chrysler 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,
Chrysler may offer exchange service on some parts. Moparor Autopar™
brand exchange parts may be new, remanufactured, reconditioned or
repaired, but all meet Chrysler 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.

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.
DIGITAL VIDEO AND COMPACT DISCS(DVD/CD)
There are some things you should know about non-commercial DVDs and
CDs. Labels applied to home-recorded discs may curl, buckle or peel off.
This can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove a “stuck”
disc are not covered by warranty. In addition, some home-recorded discs
may not be compatible with automotive players and may skip or produce
error messages. If you encounter this, check your player by using a
commercial disc which is known to be playable. If a disc is not compatible
with the player, replacing or servicing the player will not solve the
problem.
