YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
All of the warranties in this booklet are limited warranties and they
give you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which
vary from province to province. Some provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts or who is eligible
for coverage, so the stated limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you.
The limited warranties in this booklet are the only express
warranties made by DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. applicable to this
vehicle. Any implied warranty or condition of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose applicable to this vehicle is limited in
duration to the duration of these limited warranties.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. shall not be liable for commercial
loss, special or consequential damages resulting from breach of
these written warranties or of any implied warranty or condition.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is your responsibility under the terms of these warranties to
operate and maintain your vehicle as recommended in the Owner’s
Manual. Regular scheduled maintenance, described in your Owner’s
Manual and herein, is essential to trouble-free operation.
We strongly recommend that you return to your selling dealer
for all service, both during and after the warranty periods.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Dealers are best equipped and trained
to provide all levels of service and maintenance for your vehicle.

INFORMATION

5
High-tech diagnostic equipment is sometimes needed to service a
vehicle efficiently and accurately. DaimlerChrysler Canada Dealers
have unique diagnostic computers and electronic and mechanical
tools, specially designed to service our cars and trucks, and we
provide special technical training so their technicians can render the
skilled care your vehicle needs.
WARRANTY SERVICE
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Dodge Dealer. We
recommend that you return to your selling dealer for this service;
however, you may request warranty service for your vehicle from
any DaimlerChrysler Dealer. See “How to get service” on page 15.
NAME AND ADDRESS CHANGES
The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires vehicle
manufacturers to notify owners if the correction of a safety-related
defect becomes necessary. If you change your name or address, or if
you are a subsequent owner of this vehicle, please use the yellow
Name or Address Change Card, found in the glove box packet, to
report the change to DaimlerChrysler Canada. If the card is missing,
ask your dealer for one or “Update Your Personal Information” in

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTIES
WARRANTY STARTDATE
Time and distance limitations for all warranty coverage are
measured from the vehicle’s “warranty start date,” which is the date
when the vehicle was originally delivered or first used, whichever
occurred first.
VEHICLES COVERED
The warranties in this booklet cover new 2005 Dodge Ram SRT10
Trucks which are built for sale in Canada and are registered and
normally operated in Canada. The warranties apply to all owners of
the vehicle.
COVERED REPAIRS
The warranties in this booklet cover repairs to factory-installed
DaimlerChrysler parts and equipment (that is, DaimlerChrysler parts
or equipment installed by DaimlerChrysler or by the selling dealer
before the vehicle was delivered to the first owner), if the repairs were
necessary because of a defect in material or workmanship.
Covered repairs will be done without charge, using new or remanu-
factured DaimlerChrysler parts (see page 16).
TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty
failed, towing to the nearest Dodge Dealership will be covered by the
Roadside Assistance Program (for details, see page 20).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements.
See your Owner’s Manual for towing instructions.

3/60 BASIC WARRANTY
If required because of a defect in material or workmanship, the 3/60
Basic Warranty will cover the adjustment, repair or replacement of
any factory-installed part of your vehicle except tires for 3 years or
60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The following items are
exceptions; they are only covered (if defective) for 1 year or 20,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first:
•light bulbs and fuses
•wiper blades
•clutch discs
•brakes (rotors, pads, linings and drums)
•windshield and rear window
•wheel alignment and wheel balancing
Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers, not by
DaimlerChrysler. For details, see the tire manufacturer’s warranty
booklet in your glove box. Your DaimlerChrysler Dealer may be able
to assist you if you experience a problem with a factory-installed tire.
3/60 BASIC WARRANTY
2005 Dodge Ram SRT10

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10
CORROSION WARRANTY
For 3 years, regardless of distance driven, your Corrosion
Warranty covers any body sheet metal panel which develops a hole
caused by corrosion.
In addition, outer body panels are covered against holes caused
by corrosion up to 5 years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever
occurs first. An outer body panel is a sheet metal panel which can be
seen while walking around the vehicle, and which is painted body
colour.
This warranty applies only to holes caused by corrosion.
Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting from stone chips or
scratches in the paint, for example) will not be repaired under
this warranty.
If collision damage is obviously neglected and allowed to worsen
until a hole develops, this warranty will not cover the repair.
COLLISION DAMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and needs sheet metal
repair or replacement, be sure the body shop uses only genuine
DaimlerChrysler parts and applies anti-corrosion materials to the
parts repaired or replaced. Your Corrosion Warranty does not
cover replacement parts not supplied by DaimlerChrysler, or any
damage which is caused by the use of non-DaimlerChrysler
replacement parts.
See also What Is Not Covered on page 12.

CORROSION WARRANTY

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10 9
EMISSION WARRANTIES
EMISSION WARRANTIES
DaimlerChrysler Canada warrants that your new vehicle was
designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with
applicable federal and provincial emissions standards, and that the
vehicle is at the time of sale free from defects in material and
workmanship which would cause it to fail to conform to the
applicable emission standards within the warranty periods specified.
A covered defect is one which causes your vehicle to fail to meet
applicable emission-control regulations.
To keep your vehicle operating properly and in conformance
with emission regulations, see the “Scheduled Maintenance”
instructions in your Owner’s Manual and herein. Only
DaimlerChrysler parts should be used for maintenance and repair of
your vehicle’s emission-control systems.
You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass
them on to the next owner of your vehicle, in case questions arise
concerning maintenance. DaimlerChrysler Canada has the right to
deny warranty coverage if your vehicle has not been properly
maintained, or if repairs are needed because parts other than
DaimlerChrysler parts were used; however, denial will not be based
on the lack of maintenance records alone.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized
Dodge Dealer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized
dealer is not available, contact DaimlerChrysler Canada Customer
Assistance (page 18) and request emission warranty service help.

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10
EMISSION DEFECT WARRANTY
The 3/60 Basic Warranty covers all emission-control
components for 3 years or 60,000 kilometres, whichever
occurs first. The Emission Defect Warranty provides longer
coverage for specified components.
LIGHT-DUTY TRUCKS
For light-duty trucks, the Defect Warranty covers the following
major emission-control parts, if so equipped, for 8 years or
130,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first:
• catalytic converter
• powertrain control module

EMISSION WARRANTIES

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10 11
EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The Emission Performance Warranty only applies to cars and trucks
with a GVW less than 3855 kg (8500 lb).
For 2 years or 40,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, the
Performance Warranty will cover the cost of repairing or adjusting
any components or parts of your vehicle that might be necessary to
pass an approved provincial Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program’s
emissions test, but only if:
• your vehicle failed an approved provincial I/M emissions test; and
• your vehicle was properly maintained and operated until it failed
the test; and
• warranty service is required in order for your vehicle to pass the
provincial I/M test
Provincial test fees, if any, are not covered by this warranty.
HOW TO GET SERVICE UNDER THIS WARRANTY
If your vehicle fails an approved I/M emissions test within the
Emission Performance Warranty period, take it to an authorized
Dodge Dealer as soon as possible. Give the service representative the
printout that shows your vehicle failed the test. If possible, bring all
service receipts, maintenance logs and records to prove that your
vehicle has been properly maintained.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED
DAMAGE FROM MISUSE OR ACCIDENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required due to
fire, accidents, abuse, negligence, objects striking your vehicle,
carrying corrosive materials (such as chemicals, acids and
fertilizers), misuse (such as driving over curbs, overloading,
spinning wheels, etc.), racing or participating in a racing event,
improper disconnection of components, modifying the exhaust
system, tampering or making adjustments which do not comply
with DaimlerChrysler specifications.
Disconnecting, tampering with or changing the reading of the
odometer will void your warranties.
DAMAGE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT
The warranties in this booklet do not cover fading or deterioration
caused by exposure to the elements, or repairs required due to
airborne fallout, acid rain, chemicals, tree sap, insects, bird or insect
droppings, salt, sand, gravel, road hazards, hail, windstorms,
lightning, floods or any other event of nature.
Road salt, car washes, scuffs and scratches, and everyday abrasion
from sand and dirt can affect the appearance of a vehicle’s wheels
(steel, chrome and aluminum) and other undercarriage parts. Some
surface corrosion with use is normal; it is not a defect and is not
covered by any warranty.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND WEAR
The warranties in this booklet do not cover normal maintenance
services, such as oil and filter changes, general lubrication, tire
rotation, engine tune-ups and replacing spark plugs. Required
maintenance services are described in detail in your Owner’s
Manual and herein. The warranties also do not cover light bulbs
and fuses, worn wiper blades, clutch discs, brake rotors, pads,
linings or drums, windshield and rear window, wheel alignment
and wheel balancing (unless they are defective, see page 7).

improper maintenance, lack of maintenance, use of contaminated
or dirty fuels or failure to use the proper fuels and lubricants
recommended in the Owner’s Manual and herein.
EXTRA EXPENSES
The warranties in this booklet do not cover incidental or

car, overnight accommodation, loss or damage to your personal
property, commercial loss, loss of income, etc.

The warranties in this booklet do not cover repairs required because
of non-DaimlerChrysler modifications, installation of special
equipment or accessories, or use of special materials, fuels or
additives. This includes special bodies, body conversions, fuel system
conversions, trailer hitches, window tints, sunroofs, theft alarms,
etc. Non-DaimlerChrysler modifications do not by themselves
void your warranty, but they are not covered by your warranty.
NON-DAIMLERCHRYSLER PARTS
The warranties in this booklet do not cover parts, equipment,
materials or additives not supplied by DaimlerChrysler or not
certified for use on your vehicle. Performance and racing parts are
considered to be non-DaimlerChrysler parts.

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10
EXPORTED VEHICLES
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 CANADA.
This policy does not apply to vehicles that have received
authorization for export from DaimlerChrysler Canada. 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 Canadian
Government officials or military personnel on assignment
outside of Canada.
(See also page 15.)
TOTAL LOSS AND SALVAGE VEHICLES
Any vehicle that is declared to be a total loss by any insurance
company, or is rebuilt after being declared to be a total loss, or is
otherwise designated as “salvage,” “scrap,” “rebuilt” or words of
similar impact will no longer have any warranty coverage.
DaimlerChrysler Canada will deny warranty coverage without
notice if it learns that a vehicle is ineligible for coverage for any of
these reasons.
RESTRICTED WARRANTY
DaimlerChrysler Canada may restrict the warranty on your vehicle
if the vehicle is not properly maintained, or if it 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 DaimlerChrysler Canada
before repairs are performed.

HOW TO GET SERVICE
HOW TO GET SERVICE
INCANADA:
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Dodge Dealer. If
you move or are travelling in Canada, warranty service may be
requested from any authorized DaimlerChrysler Dealer, but
preferably one who sells the same Dodge brand vehicle as yours.
INTHE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING U.S. POSSESSIONS AND
TERRITORIES) AND MEXICO:
If you are travelling temporarily in the United States or Mexico, and
your vehicle remains registered in Canada, your DaimlerChrysler
Canada Warranty will still apply. Service may be requested at any
authorized Dodge Dealership.
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRYOUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA:
If you are travelling temporarily outside of North America, and your
vehicle remains registered in Canada, you should take your vehicle to
an authorized Dodge Dealer. 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. When your vehicle
returns to Canada, contact the DaimlerChrysler Canada Customer
Assistance Centre (page 18) for reimbursement consideration.
Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle does not return
to Canada.
IFYOU MOVE:
If you are moving to another country, be sure to contact the
customs department of the destination country before you move.
Vehicle importation rules vary considerably from country to
country.
If you are moving to the United States, be sure to also contact the
DaimlerChrysler Motors Customer Assistance office at 1-800-992-
1997 to obtain the necessary documentation to register your vehicle
and to determine warranty eligibility in the U.S.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle is registered outside of Canada, 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
Canadian Government officials or military personnel on assignment
outside of Canada will continue to be covered by the Basic Warranty.)

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
OPTIONAL SERVICE CONTRACT
DaimlerChrysler Canada has a service contract specially designed
for most new vehicles, to cover repair costs beyond your vehicle’s
warranty. Protection is available for almost every operating part of
your vehicle, and at reasonable cost.
DaimlerChrysler Canada stands fully behind its service
contracts. Be sure that the contract you buy is a genuine
DaimlerChrysler Service Contract. We are not responsible for
other companies’ contracts. See page 24 for details on available
service contracts.
APPEARANCE ITEMS
Defects or damage to sheet metal, paint, trim and other appearance
items are normally found and corrected during new-vehicle
inspection. For your protection, if you find any such defect or
damage, you should tell your selling dealer immediately, because if
the problem worsens due to use and exposure, repairs will not be
covered by any warranty.
PRODUCTION CHANGES
DaimlerChrysler Canada and its dealers reserve the right to make
changes in vehicles built and/or sold at any time without incurring
any obligations to make the same or similar changes on vehicles
which were built and/or sold previously.
EXCHANGE PARTS
To reduce the amount of time your vehicle is out of service due
to repairs, DaimlerChrysler may offer exchange service on some
parts. Mopar®or Autopar®brand exchange parts may be new,
remanufactured, reconditioned or repaired, but all meet
DaimlerChrysler standards and are warranted the same as new
parts. Examples of parts that may be serviced by exchange include
engines, transmissions, instrument clusters, radios, tape and CD
players, speedometers and various electronic modules.
16
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

2005 Dodge Ram SRT10 17
OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
RECLAIMED REFRIGERANT
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, regulations
require the capture, purification and reuse of automotive refrigerant
gases. As a result, any repairs to the sealed portion of your air
conditioning system, if so equipped, may involve the installation of
purified reclaimed refrigerant.
CASSETTE TAPES AND CDS
There are some things you should know about cassette
tapes and non-commercial CDs. Labels applied to tape
cassettes and home-recorded CDs may curl, buckle or peel off. This
can result in ejection failure, and repairs required to remove a
“stuck” CD or cassette are not covered by warranty. In addition,
some home-recorded CDs of the CD-R and CD-RW formats may not
be compatible with automotive CD players and may skip or produce
error messages. If you encounter this, check your CD player by
using a commercial CD which is known to be playable. If a CD is
not compatible with the player, replacing or servicing the player
will not solve the problem.
