2012 CHRYSLER 200 CONVERTIBLE service

HOW TO GET SERVICE
IN CANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler or Dodge Retailer. If you move or are
travelling in Canada, warranty service may be requested from any authorized Chrysler Retailer, but
preferably one who sells the same Chrysler or Dodge brand vehicle as yours.
IN THE UNITED STATES(INCLUDING U.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 Chrysler or Dodge Retailer.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your vehicle remains registered in
Canada, you should take your vehicle to an authorized Chrysler or 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 9) 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 importation 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 at1-800-992-1997to 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 Government 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 arenotresponsible for other companies’ contracts. See
page 12 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.
8

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. Mopar
or 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.

and resolved by an independent third party through binding arbitration.

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 anyincidental or consequential damagesconnected 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 commercial 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.
11

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 considerable 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:
•You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
•Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill and towing invoice
•Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance contractor rates, to a maximum of
$100 per incident, unless otherwise noted
•Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you will be accepted for
consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be returned upon request
•Mail your claims to:

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 completing the
scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your dealer 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 operating
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. Checking 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.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
•Change the engine oil filter.
•Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS —
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
MAINTENANCEScheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER
repairs required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled
maintenance and keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended MoparLubricants
and genuine MoparParts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals,
please contact your retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE
INTERVAL THAT OCCURS FIRST.
