new car. Follow the instructions contained in the General and MOPAR parts to maintain your car.

For your convenience, Chrysler has prepared a maintenance

your continued warranty coverage, Chrysler requires you to
keep track of scheduled maintenance either by routinely filling
out the maintenance log or by keeping receipts or other
documentation of work you’ve had done on your car. Chrysler

after the warranty periods. Although you can get warranty
service from any dealer who sells your particular make or
model, returning to your selling dealer will help ensure that all
your service needs are met and that you’re completely satis-
fied.
