The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the following dates,

dealer “demo” or as a FCA US LLC company vehicle.

F. WHEN IT ENDS

The Basic Limited Warranty lasts for 36 months from the date it begins or
for 36,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. But the
following items are covered only for 12 months or for 12,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first:
• Brakes (rotors, pads, linings, and drums)
• Bulbs
• Clutch Discs or Modular Clutch Assembly (if equipped)

• The vehicle is operated and maintained in the manner described in your Owner’s Manual.

2.2. CORROSION WARRANTY
A. WHO IS COVERED

You are covered if you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.

B. WHAT IS COVERED

The Corrosion Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to
repair or replace any sheet metal panels that get holes from rust or other
corrosion. If a hole occurs because of something other than corrosion, this
warranty does not apply. Cosmetic or surface corrosion — resulting, for
example, from stone chips or scratches in the paint — is not covered. For
more details on what is not covered by this warranty, refer to “section 3.5”.

C. HOW LONG IT LASTS

The Corrosion Warranty starts when your Basic Limited Warranty begins
under “section 2.1 E”.
This warranty has two time-and-mileage limits:
• For sheet metal panels, the limit is 36 months, with no mileage limit.
• For an outer-body sheet metal panel — one that is finish-painted and that someone can see when walking around the vehicle — the limits are five
years, with no mileage limit.

D. WHAT IS NOT COVERED

Please note that while the standard Corrosion Warranty applies to defects
in material and/or workmanship, it does not cover the vehicle's matte
finish appearance (if equipped).
Maintaining the matte finish appearance is solely the responsibility of the
vehicle owner as described in your Owner's Manual.

2.3. RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIMITED WARRANTY (VEHICLES SOLD
AND REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF KANSAS ONLY)

For vehicles sold and registered in the State of Kansas, seat belts and
related seat belt components are warranted against defects in
workmanship and materials for 10 years, regardless of mileage. This
warranty does not cover replacement of seat belts and related compo -
nents required as the result of collision.

defective in workmanship and materials.

on the odometer, whichever occurs first, calculated from the start date of
the Basic Limited Warranty, as set forth in “section 2.1 E”.

D. TOWING COSTS ARE COVERED

Roadside Assistance covers the cost of towing your vehicle to the nearest

3. WHAT IS NOT COVERED
3.1. MODIFICATIONS NOT COVERED
A. SOME MODIFICATIONS DO NOT VOID THE WARRANTIES BUT
A
RE NOT COVERED

Certain changes that you might make to your vehicle do not, by
themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of
some of these changes are:
• Installing non-FCA US LLC parts, components, or equipment such as, a
non-FCA US LLC radio or speed control.
• Using special non-FCA US LLC materials or additives.

Your warranties do not cover any part that was not on your vehicle when it
left the manufacturing plant or is not certified for use on your vehicle. Nor
do they cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused
or needed because of the installation or use of non-FCA US LLC parts,
components, equipment, materials, or additives.
NOTE:

Non-FCA US LLC parts can also impact downstream or other related
safety systems.

Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-FCA US LLC parts.
Repairs or adjustments caused by their use are not covered under your
warranties.
Examples of the types of alterations not covered are:
• Installing accessories — except for genuine FCA US LLC/MOPAR® acces
-
sories installed by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® or Ram dealer.
• Applying rustproofing or other protection products.
• Changing the vehicle's configuration or dimensions, such as converting the vehicle into a limousine or food service vehicle.

These actions will void your warranties:
• Disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odometer will void your warranties, unless your repairing technician follows the legal require -
ments for repairing or replacing odometers.
• Attaching any device that disconnects the odometer will also void your warranties.

FCA US LLC may restrict the warranty on your vehicle if the vehicle is not

4. OTHER TERMS OF YOUR
W
ARRANTIES
4.1. EXCHANGED PARTS MAY BE USED IN WARRANTY REPAIRS

In the interest of customer satisfaction, FCA US LLC may offer exchange
service on some vehicle parts. This service is intended to reduce the
amount of time your vehicle is not available for your use because of
repairs. Parts used in exchange service may be new, remanufactured,
reconditioned, or repaired, depending on the part involved.
All exchange parts that might be used meet FCA US LLC standards, and
have the same warranties as new parts. Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced in this way are:
• Engine Assemblies
• Transmission Assemblies
• Instrument Cluster Assemblies
• Radios, CD and DVD players
• Speedometers
• Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) requires the capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air conditioning refrigerant gases. As a result, a repair to the
sealed portion of your air conditioning system may involve the installation
of purified reclaimed refrigerant.
