LEGAL RIGHTS
1. Your Legal Rights Under
These Limited Warranties
The warranties contained in this booklet are the only
express warranties that Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler")
makes for your vehicle. These warranties give you specific
legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from
state to state. For example, you may have some implied
warranties, depending on the state where your vehicle was
sold or is registered.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent allowed
by law, to the time periods covered by the express written
warranties contained in this booklet.
If you use your vehicle primarily for business or commercial purposes, then these implied warranties do not apply
and Chrysler completely disclaims them to the extent
allowed by law. And the implied warranty of fitness for a
particular purpose does not apply if your vehicle is used for
racing, even if the vehicle is equipped for racing.
4
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.
1.1 Incidental and Consequential
Damages Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover any incidental or
consequential damages connected with your vehicle’s
failure, either while under warranty or afterward.
Examples of such damages include:
• lost time;
• inconvenience;
• the loss of the use of your vehicle;
• the cost of rental vehicles, gasoline, telephone,
travel, or lodging;
• the loss of personal or commercial property; and
• the loss of revenue.
Some states don’t allow incidental or consequential
damages to be excluded or limited, so this exclusion
may not apply to you.
WHAT'S COVERED UNDER
CHRYSLER MOTORS LLC'S WARRANTIES
2. What's Covered Under
Chrysler Motors LLC's
Warranties
2.1 Basic Limited Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered by the Basic Limited Warranty if
you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle.
B. What’s Covered
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of all
parts and labor needed to repair any item on your
vehicle when it left the manufacturing plant that is
defective in material, workmanship or factory
preparation. There is no list of covered parts since the
only exception are tires and Unwired headphones. You
pay nothing for these repairs. These warranty repairs or
adjustments — including all parts and labor connected
with them — will be made by your dealer at no charge,
using new or remanufactured parts.
C. Items Covered by Other Warranties
The following are covered by separate warranties
offered by their makers. They are not covered by the
Basic Limited Warranty:
• tires;
• Unwired headphones; or
5
WHAT'S COVERED UNDER
CHRYSLER MOTOR LLC'S WARRANTIES
• items added or changed after your vehicle left the
manufacturing plant, such as accessories or
protection products, or items changed because of
customization or van conversion.
Be sure you get a copy of any warranty that applies
to these items from your dealer, or from the maker of
the product. You can find the tire and Unwired
headphone warranty statements in your Owner’s
Literature Package.
D. Towing Costs Are Covered Under Certain
Circumstances
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of towing
your vehicle to the nearest Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep
dealer if your vehicle can’t be driven because a
6
covered part has failed. If you choose to go to
another dealership, you will be responsible for the
cost if the extra distance exceeds 10 miles. See
Section 6.2 for information on how to get towing
service in the United States and Canada.
E. When It Begins
The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the
following dates, whichever is earlier:
• the date you take delivery of the vehicle; or
• the date when the vehicle was first put into
service — for example, as a dealer “demo” or as a
Chrysler company vehicle.
WHAT'S COVERED UNDER
CHRYSLER MOTOR LLC'S WARRANTIES
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);
wiper blades;
clutch discs or modular clutch assembly (as equipped);
windshield and rear window; and
wheel alignment and wheel balancing
G. Registration and Operation Requirements
The Basic Limited Warranty covers your vehicle
only if:
•
•
•
•
it was built for sale in the U.S.;
it’s registered in the U.S.;
it’s driven mainly in the U.S. or Canada; and
it’s operated and maintained in the manner
described in your Owner’s Manual.
7
WHAT'S COVERED UNDER
CHRYSLER MOTORS LLC'S WARRANTIES
H. If Your Vehicle Leaves the United States
(We Include U.S. Possessions and Territories
as Part of the United States for Warranty
Purposes):
EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED
BY LAW, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
COVERAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IF IT IS
SOLD IN OR REGISTERED IN COUNTRIES
OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.
This policy does not apply to vehicles that have
received authorization for export from Chrysler.
Dealers may not give authorization for export. You
should consult an authorized dealer to determine this
vehicle's warranty coverage if you have any questions.
This policy does not apply to vehicles registered to
U.S. government officials or military personnel on
assignment outside of the United States.
8
2.2 Corrosion Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered if you are a purchaser for use of
the vehicle.
B. What's Covered
This 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 isn’t covered by this
warranty, see 3.5.
WHAT'S COVERED UNDER
CHRYSLER MOTOR LLC'S WARRANTIES
C. How Long It Lasts
The Corrosion Warranty starts when your Basic
Limited Warranty begins under 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 5 years or 100,000 miles on the
odometer, whichever occurs first.
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, seatbelts and related seatbelt components
are warranted against defects in workmanship and
materials for 10 years, regardless of mileage. This
warranty does not cover replacement of seatbelts and
related components required as the result of collision.
9

law are also not covered.

The Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty begins
at the end of the Basic Limited Warranty.

WHAT'S NOT COVERED
3. What's Not Covered
3.1 Modifications Not Covered
A. Some Modifications Don’t Void the
Warranties But Aren’t 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-Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler")
parts, components, or equipment (such as a nonChrysler radio or speed control); and
• using special non-Chrysler materials or
additives.
But your warranties don’t 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-Chrysler parts, components, equipment, materials, or additives.
Performance or racing parts are considered to be
non-Chrysler 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
Chrysler / MOPAR accessories installed by
an authorized Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer;
• applying rustproofing or other protection
products;
17
WHAT'S NOT COVERED
• changing the vehicle's configuration or
dimensions, such as converting the vehicle into
a limousine or food service vehicle; or
• using any refrigerant that Chrysler has
not approved.
B. Modifications That WILL Void Your
Warranties
These actions will void your warranties:
• disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the
odometer will void your warranties, unless your
repairing technician follows the legal requirements for repairing or replacing odometers; or
• attaching any device that disconnects the
odometer will also void your warranties.
18
3.2 Environmental Factors Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover damage caused by
environmental factors such as airborne fallout, bird
droppings, insect damage, chemicals, tree sap, salt,
ocean spray, acid rain, and road hazards. Nor do your
warranties cover damage caused by hailstorms,
windstorms, tornadoes, sandstorms, lightning, floods,
and earthquakes.
Your warranties do not cover conditions resulting
from anything impacting the vehicle. This includes
cracks and chips in glass, scratches and chips in
painted surfaces, or damage from collision.
WHAT'S NOT COVERED
3.3 Maintenance Costs Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage caused by poor or improper maintenance. Nor
do they cover damage caused by the use of contaminated fuels, or by the use of fuels, oils, lubricants,
cleaners or fluids other than those recommended in
your Owner’s Manual.
The warranties don’t cover the costs of your
vehicle’s normal or scheduled maintenance — the
parts and services that all vehicles routinely need.
Some of these parts and services, which your warranties don’t cover, include:
• lubrication;
• engine tune-ups;
• replacing filters, coolant, spark plugs, bulbs, or
fuses (unless those costs result from a covered
repair);
• cleaning and polishing; and
• replacing worn wiper blades, worn brake pads
and linings, or clutch linings.
19
WHAT'S NOT COVERED
3.4 Racing Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage or conditions caused by racing, nor do they
cover the repair of any defects that are found as the
result of participating in a racing event.
3.5 Certain Kinds of Corrosion Not
Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the following:
• corrosion caused by accident, damage, abuse,
or vehicle alteration;
• surface corrosion caused by such things as
industrial fallout, sand, salt, hail, and stones;
• corrosion caused by the extensive or abnormal
transport of caustic materials like chemicals,
acids, and fertilizers; and
20
• corrosion of special bodies, body conversions,
or equipment that was not on your vehicle when it
left the manufacturing plant or was not supplied by
Chrysler.
3.6 Other Exclusions
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage or conditions caused by any of the following:
• fire or accident;
• abuse or negligence;
• misuse — for example, driving over curbs or
overloading;
• tampering with the emission systems, or with
a part that could affect the emission systems;
WHAT'S NOT COVERED
• use of used parts, even if they were originally
supplied by Chrysler (however, authorized
Chrysler / MOPAR remanufactured parts
are covered);
• windshield or rear window damage from external
objects;
• any changes made to your vehicle that don’t
comply with Chrysler; or
• using any fluid that doesn't meet the minimum
recommendations in your Owner's Manual.
3.7 Total Loss, Salvage, Junk, or Scrap
Vehicles Not Covered
A vehicle has no warranty coverage of any kind if:
• the vehicle is declared to be a total loss by an
insurance company;
• the vehicle is rebuilt after being declared to be a
total loss by an insurance company; or
• the vehicle is issued a certificate of title indicating that it is designated as “salvage,” “junk,”
“rebuilt,” “scrap,” or some similar word.
Chrysler will deny warranty coverage without notice if
it learns that a vehicle is ineligible for coverage for any
of these reasons.
21
WHAT'S NOT COVERED
3.8 Restricted Warranty
Your warranties can also be restricted by Chrysler.
Chrysler may restrict the warranty on your vehicle if the
vehicle is not properly maintained, or if the vehicle is
abused or neglected, and the abuse or neglect interferes
with the proper functioning of the vehicle. If the
warranty is restricted, coverage may be denied or
subject to approval by Chrysler before covered repairs
are performed.
22
OTHER TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTIES
4. Other Terms of Your
Warranties
4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in
Warranty Repairs
In the interest of customer satisfaction,
Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler") 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
Chrysler 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, tape, CD and DVD players;
speedometers; and
powertrain control modules.
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents,
the 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.
23
OTHER TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTIES
4.2 Pre-Delivery Service
A defect in or damage to the mechanical, electrical,
sheet-metal, paint, trim, and other components of your
vehicle may have occurred at the factory or while it
was being shipped to the dealer.
Such a defect or damage is usually detected and
corrected at the factory. In addition, dealers must
inspect each vehicle before delivery. They repair any
defects or damage detected before the vehicle is
delivered to you.
4.3 Production Changes
Changes may be made in vehicles sold by Chrysler
and its dealers at any time without incurring any
obligation to make the same or similar changes on
vehicles previously built or sold.
24
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW
5. Emission Warranties Required
By Law
5.1 Federal Emission Warranty
A. Parts Covered for 2 Years or 24,000 Miles
Federal law requires Chrysler Motors LLC
("Chrysler") to warrant the following emissions
parts for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs
first. Chrysler covers all of these parts under the
Basic Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
• Air system controls;
• distributor and its components;
• electronic fuel injection system, including
injector;
• evaporative-emission canister and controls;
• exhaust manifold;
• exhaust gas recirculation valve and control
system;
• exhaust pipes (between exhaust manifold and
catalyst);
• fuel cap and tank assembly, pump, and fuel
lines;
• ignition coil and ignition module;
• intake manifold;
• on-board diagnostic-system components;
• oxygen sensors;
25
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW
• positive crankcase-ventilation (PCV) valve or
orifice;
• secondary ignition wires;
• spark plugs;
• throttle body;
• transmission-control module;
• vacuum hoses, clamps, and fittings, as well as
tubing used for these components;
• vacuum, temperature, altitude, speed, timesensitive valves, sensors, and switches used in
these components and systems.
B. Parts Covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles
If your vehicle has one of the following parts, this
Federal Emission Warranty covers that part for a
period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first,
26
calculated from the start date of the Basic Limited
Warranty as set forth in Section 2.1(E). The covered
parts are:
• catalytic converter; and
• powertrain control module.
C. Additional Emission Warranties
If your vehicle is equipped with a California Certified
Emission Control System and is registered in California,
Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Oregon or Washington, the California Emission Warranty — described in
Section 5.3 — also applies.
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW
5.2 Emission Performance Warranty
This warranty supplements the federal warranty under
5.1. It lasts for 2 years or 24,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. If your vehicle has one of
the following parts, catalytic converter and powertrain
control module, this Federal Emission Warranty
covers that part for a period of 8 years or 80,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. These limits are counted from
the time when your Basic Limited Warranty begins
under 2.1(E). The Emission Performance Warranty
covers the cost of repairing or adjusting any components or parts that might be needed for your vehicle
to pass Federal Emission Standards for a federally
approved state or local emissions test, but only if:
• your vehicle has failed a federally approved state
or local emissions test;
• your vehicle has been maintained and operated
properly up until it fails such a test; and
• you face a real penalty — for example, a fine or
the loss of the use of your vehicle — because the
vehicle has failed the test.
Section 6.4 explains how to get service under this
warranty.
27
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW
5.3 California Emission Warranty
Your Warranty Rights and Obligations (Applies
Only to Vehicles Certified for Sale and Registered in the State of California)
The California Air Resources Board is pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2009 model
vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent
anti-smog standards. Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler")
must warrant the emission control system on your vehicle
for the periods of time listed below provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your
vehicle.
28
Your emission control system may include parts such
as the fuel-injection system, the ignition system,
catalytic converter, and powertrain control module. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Chrysler will repair
your vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts
and labor.
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first
occurs:
1. If your vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by
Chrysler to ensure that your vehicle passes
the inspection. This is your emission control system
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY.
For 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever first
occurs:
1. If an emission-related part listed in this warranty
booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or
70,000 miles is defective, the part will be repaired or

HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
6. How to Get Warranty Service
6.1 Where to Take Your Vehicle
A. In the United States (We Include U.S.
Possessions and Territories as Part of
the United States for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service must be done by an authorized
Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer. We strongly
recommend that you take your vehicle to your
Selling Dealer. They know you and your vehicle
best, and are most concerned that you get
prompt and high quality service. If you move
within the United States, warranty service may
be requested from any authorized Chrysler,
Dodge or Jeep dealer.
B. In Canada and Mexico:
If you are traveling temporarily in Canada or Mexico,
and your vehicle remains registered in the United
States, your Chrysler warranty still applies. Service
may be requested at any authorized Chrysler, Dodge
or Jeep dealership.
C. In a Foreign Country Outside of North
America:
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North
America, and your vehicle remains registered in the
United States:
• You should take your vehicle to an authorized
Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer. They should give
you the same warranty service you receive in the
United States.
33
HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
• If the authorized dealership charges you for repairs
which you feel should be covered under your
warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the work
done. Make sure that this receipt lists all warranty
repairs and parts that were involved. (This receipt
will be similar to the one used by the dealer who
normally services your vehicle.)
• When your vehicle returns to the United States,
contact the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center
(section 7.2) for reimbursement consideration. You
will normally need to provide a copy of the receipt,
your vehicle registration and any other relevant
documents.
• Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle
does not return to the United States.
34
D. If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure to contact
the Chrysler Customer Assistance Center (section 7.2)
and the customs department of the destination country
before you move. Vehicle importation rules vary
considerably from country to country. You may be
required to present documentation of your move to
Chrysler in order to continue your warranty coverage.
You may also be required to obtain documentation from
Chrysler in order to register your vehicle in your new
country.
E. Notice:
If your vehicle is registered outside of the United
States, 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
United States government officials or military personnel
on assignment outside of the U.S. will continue to be
covered.)

since you may be required to show them.
B. Further Steps You Can Take, and How to
Get More Information
If you think your dealer has wrongly denied you
emission-warranty coverage, follow the steps
described in 7.1. Chrysler will reply to you in
writing within 30 days after receiving your complaint (or within the time limit required by local or
state law). If the owner is not notified within 30
days that a performance warranty claim is denied,
the manufacturer must repair the vehicle free of
charge.

6.5 Getting Service Under the California
Emission Warranty
A. What to Do If You Fail a Smog Check
If a vehicle fails a state Smog Check test during
the coverage period, Chrysler Motors LLC
37
HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
("Chrysler") will repair the vehicle so that it will
pass a State Smog Check re-test. The owner
should take the vehicle to any authorized Chrysler,
Dodge or Jeep dealer for warranty repairs and give
a copy of the failed Smog Check test report to the
dealer. If the owner is not notified within 30 days
that a performance warranty claim is denied, the
manufacturer must repair the vehicle free of charge.
B. What to Do to Get Warranty Service
To get warranty service -- even if you're traveling -take your vehicle to any Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep
dealer. (Chrysler recommends that you take your
vehicle to a dealer who sells the same make of
vehicle as yours.) That dealer will perform any
warranty service without charging you for diagnosis, parts or labor.
38
C. Emergency Emission Warranty Service
If you need emergency service under this warranty
and a Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer is not readily
available, you may have your vehicle repaired by
anyone using any brand of repair parts. However,
Chrysler recommends that you do the following
before having repairs made:
• Contact the Chrysler Motors LLC Customer
Assistance Center and ask for help with
emission warranty service. (You'll find the address
and telephone number of the Customer Assistance
Center at 7.2.)
• The Customer Assistance Center will recommend an
authorized servicing dealer or help you find a
qualified independent servicing dealer.
• If you are going to have to use an independent
servicing dealer, make arrangements during your
first contact with the Customer Assistance Center
HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
for getting reimbursed for emergency repairs (including
labor and diagnosis). You will need to get and keep the
replaced parts, as well as the original invoice marked
"paid".
• You should review with the Customer Assistance
Center any questions you have about the emission
warranty. Reimbursement for parts will be based on
Chrysler's suggested retail price. Reimbursement for labor will be based on Chrysler's recommended
time allowance for the repair and on the appropriate
hourly labor rate in the geographic area where you had
the work done.
Before Chrysler will reimburse you for emergency repairs under this warranty, you will have to
provide Chrysler with details on why the
situation was an emergency and why dealer service was
unavailable.
Under this warranty, an emergency occurs if a part
will not be available within 30 days or if a repair can't
be completed within 30 days.

in writing at the following address:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
Chrysler Motors LLC
Customer Arbitration Process
P.O. Box 560208

The CAP reviews only vehicle disputes involving
Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler") Limited Warranty or a
Chrysler / Mopar Part Limited Warranty. The CAP does
not review disputes involving the sale of a new or used
vehicle, personal injury/property damage claims, disputes
relating to design of the vehicle or part, or disputes which
are already the subject of litigation.
The CAP will need the following information from you:
1) Legible copies of all documents and repair orders
relevant to your case, 2) Vehicle identification number of
your vehicle, 3) A brief description of your unresolved
concern, 4) The identity of your servicing/selling dealer,

will acknowledge receipt of your request, by mail,
within ten (10) days, and advise you whether or not
your dispute is within the jurisdiction of the Process.
• When your request is within jurisdiction NCDS will
request Chrysler and the dealer to present their side
of the dispute. You will receive copies of their
responses.
• While your dispute is pending NCDS or Chrysler
may contact you to see if your case can be settled by
agreement. If a settlement is offered to you, Chrysler
will ask you to sign a form that contains that
42
settlement. Your case will then be closed. There is no
requirement for you to participate in this settlement
process.
• If you requested an oral hearing, a decision-maker will
contact you to arrange a convenient time and place for a
hearing. Usually, this will be at a dealership near you.
• If you request a documents-only review, an NCDS
panel will review and decide your case. Neither you, the
dealer nor Chrysler need be present.
• NCDS will send you a written Statement of Decision.
This statement will include the decision, any action to be
taken by the dealer or Chrysler and the time by which the
action must be taken. The decision will be binding on the
dealer and Chrysler but not on you unless you accept the
decision.
HOW TO DEAL WITH WARRANTY PROBLEMS
• If any action is required on the part of the dealer
or Chrysler you will be contacted within ten (10)
days after the date by which the dealer or Chrysler
must act to determine whether performance has
been rendered.
• The entire dispute settlement process will
normally take no longer than 40 days.
• The CAP dispute settlement procedure does not
take the place of any state or Federal legal
remedies available to you. Whether or not you
decide to submit your dispute to the Process,
you are free to pursue other legal remedies.
D. Notice Under State Lemon Laws

purchase price under certain circumstances. These
laws vary from state to state. If your state law
allows, Chrysler requires that you first notify us in
writing of any service difficulty that you may have
experienced so that we can have a chance to make
any needed repairs before you are eligible for

protection against repair costs when these warranties don’t
apply. They complement but don’t replace the warranty
coverages outlined in this booklet. Several plans are

MAINTENANCE
9. Maintenance
9.1 General Information
It’s your responsibility to properly maintain and
operate your new vehicle. Follow the instructions
contained in the General and Scheduled Maintenance
Service guidelines in your Owner’s Manual. Regular,
scheduled maintenance is essential to trouble-free
operation. If there is a dispute between you and
Chrysler Motors LLC ("Chrysler") concerning your
maintenance of your vehicle, Chrysler will require
you to provide proof that your vehicle was properly
maintained.
46
For your convenience, Chrysler has prepared
a Maintenance Log which is included in your
Owner's Manual. You should use this Maintenance
Log to keep track of scheduled maintenance, either
by routinely having the repairs entered in your
Maintenance Log, or by keeping receipts or other
documentation of work you’ve had done on your
vehicle in your Maintenance Log.
MAINTENANCE
9.2 Where To Go For Maintenance
Chrysler recommends that you return to the 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 dealer who sells your
particular make, returning to your selling dealer will help
ensure that all your service needs are met and that you're
completely satisfied. The dealership technicians are
specifically trained to proficiently perform maintenance
and repair procedures on your Chrysler Motors LLC
vehicle.
Authorized Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealers will help
ensure that all your service needs are met and that you’re
completely satisfied. Chrysler strongly recommends you
use genuine Chrysler / MOPAR parts to maintain your
vehicle.
