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.

be your responsibility.

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.

you may claim reimbursement under the following conditions:

and towing invoice
•Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance
contractor rates, to a maximum of $100 per incident, unless otherwise

will be accepted for consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be
returned upon request.

payment later than 30 days from the date the service was performed, or if
service was provided by an unlicenced garage or individual.

SERVICE
CONTRACTS
As complete as our new warranty is, it may not give you total protection
for your ownership period, nor does it provide the regular maintenance
which is required to keep your new vehicle at its optimal operating
condition. If you lease a vehicle, you should be aware of your obligation
to maintain and repair the vehicle.
Chrysler Canada Service Contracts can enhance your new vehicle’s
factory warranty from the day of delivery and provide mechanical
coverage on most major components†† when your factory warranty
expires. There are 3 types of plans available for purchase to suit most
needs and the average length of ownership.
Please see your selling retailer for “Special Use” Service Contract
availability.
††Subject to limitations. Details available at your selling retailer.

INTRODUCTIONThe oil change indicator system will remind you that
it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance. Based on engine operation condition
the oil change indicator message will illuminate, this
means that service is required for your vehicle. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 800 km. The oil change indicator message will
not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been 6 months since your
last oil change even if the oil change indicator
message is NOT illuminated. Change your engine oil
more often if you drive your vehicle off-road for an
extended period of time.Under no circumstances
should oil change intervals exceed 13,000 km or
6 months, whichever comes first.Your dealer will
reset the oil change indicator message after complet-
ing the scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil
change is performed by someone other than yourdealer the message can be reset by referring to the
steps described in the Owner’s Manual.
The performance of all scheduled service work is
required to maintain your vehicle in good operat-
ing condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the
right to deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has
not been properly maintained. While we do not
insist that such work be performed by factory
authorized retailers, we strongly recommend that
an authorized Chrysler, Jeepor Dodge Retailer
perform this work.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
•Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Check-
ing the oil level while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level reading. Add oil only when the level is at
or below the ADD or MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and add
if required.ONCE A MONTH
•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder, power steering and
transmission and add as needed.
•Check all lights and other electrical items for
correct operation.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if
required.
