CALIFORNIA EMISSION WARRANTY
How long does the Warranty last:
The warranty shall apply for three years or 50,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. Those parts listed on the long-
term warranted parts list are covered for 7 years or
70,000 miles, whichever first occurs. Where parts are
scheduled for replacement as required maintenance, the
warranty shall apply until the first scheduled mainte-
nance point listed in the owner's manual. This
warranty begins on the date the vehicle is delivered to
the original purchaser or on the date the vehicle is first
placed in service or original use, whichever occurs
first.
What the owner must do:
It is your responsibility to perform the required mainte-
nance and use the vehicle in accordance with Chrysler's
written instructions. Warranty coverage will not be de-
nied solely because there is no record of maintenance.
However, failures caused by lack of required maintenance
are not covered by the warranty. To avoid questions as
lo
whether the vehicle maintenance has been performl'd,
Chrysler urges that you keep all receipts and/ or main
Iv
nance records showing that service has been perfornwd
on the vehicle. These documents should be given to .1111
future owner of the vehicle.
