sap, salt, ocean spray, acid rain, and road hazards. Nor do your warranties

result from a covered repair

9.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to properly maintain and operate your new vehicle. 
Follow the instructions contained in the General and Scheduled Mainte -
nance Service guidelines in your Owner’s Manual. Regular, scheduled 
maintenance is essential to trouble-free operation. If there is a dispute 
between you and FCA US LLC concerning your maintenance of your

properly maintained.
For your convenience, FCA US LLC has prepared a Maintenance Schedule 
with routine service intervals which is included in your Owner's Manual. It 
is essential to follow these required maintenance intervals for safe 
trouble-free operation.
9.2. WHERE TO GO FOR MAINTENANCE
FCA US LLC recommends that you return to the authorized dealer from 
whom you bought your vehicle for all maintenance service both during and 
after the warranty periods. Although you can get warranty service from any 
authorized dealer who sells your particular make, returning to your selling 
authorized dealer will help ensure that all your service needs are met and 
that you are completely satisfied. The dealership technicians are specifi -
cally trained to proficiently perform maintenance and repair procedures on 
your vehicle.
Authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealers will help ensure that all 
your service needs are met and that you are completely satisfied. FCA US 
LLC strongly recommends you use genuine FCA US LLC/Mopar parts to 
maintain your vehicle.
