WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to fire,
accidents, abuse, negligence, objects striking your vehicle, carrying corro-
sive materials (such as chemicals, acids and fertilizers), misuse (such as
driving over curbs, overloading, spinning wheels, etc.), racing or partici-
pating in a racing event, improper disconnection of components, modifying
the exhaust system, tampering or making adjustments which do not comply
with Chrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the odometer
will void your warranties.
DAMAGE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover fading or deterioration caused
by exposure to the elements, or repairs required due to airborne fallout,
acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect droppings, salt, sand,
gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms, lightning, floods or any other event
of nature.Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion from
sand and dirt can affect the appearance of a vehicle’s wheels (steel, chrome
and aluminum) and other undercarriage parts. Some surface corrosion with
use is normal; it is not a defect and is not covered by any warranty.

such as oil and filter changes, general lubrication, tire rotation, engine
tune-ups and replacing spark plugs. Required maintenance services are
described in detail in your Owner’s Manual. The warranties also do not

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.

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.
