Background and Nature of Operations	'
	Note 1. Background and Nature of Operations
	Unless otherwise specified, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Chrysler Group” and the “Company” refer to Chrysler Group LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any one or more of them, as the context may require. “Fiat” refers to Fiat S.p.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Italy, its consolidated subsidiaries (excluding Chrysler Group) and entities it jointly controls, or any one or more of them, as the context may require.
	Chrysler Group was formed on April 28, 2009 as a Delaware limited liability company. As of September 30, 2013, Fiat and the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the “VEBA Trust”) had a 58.5 percent and 41.5 percent ownership interest in us, respectively. Refer to Note 15, Other Transactions with Related Parties, for additional information regarding Fiat’s exercise of its call option rights to acquire additional portions of the VEBA Trust’s membership interests in the Company.
	We design, engineer, manufacture, distribute and sell vehicles under the brand names Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram. As part of our industrial alliance with Fiat, we also manufacture certain Fiat vehicles in Mexico, which are distributed throughout North America and sold to Fiat for distribution elsewhere in the world. Our product lineup includes passenger cars, utility vehicles (which include sport utility vehicles and crossover vehicles), minivans, trucks and commercial vans. We also sell automotive service parts and accessories under the Mopar brand name.
	Our products are available in more than 150 countries around the world. We sell our products to dealers and distributors for sale to retail customers and fleet customers, which include rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and government entities. The majority of our operations, employees, independent dealers and sales are in North America, primarily in the U.S. Approximately 10 percent of our vehicle sales during both 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were outside North America, principally in Asia Pacific, South America and Europe. Vehicle, service parts and accessories sales outside North America are primarily through our 100 percent owned, affiliated or independent distributors and dealers. Fiat is the general distributor of our vehicles and service parts in Europe and certain other markets outside of North America, selling our products through a network of dealers. We are the general distributor for Fiat vehicles in select markets outside of Europe. In addition, as part of our industrial alliance, Fiat manufactures certain Fiat brand vehicles for us, which we sell in select markets.

	Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2012 Form 10-K”) as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

	Reclassifications
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 18, Supplemental Parent and Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements, for additional information related to these reclassifications.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance requiring that certain unrecognized tax benefits be recognized as offsets against the corresponding deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, unless the deferred tax asset is not available or not intended to be used at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to allow for the inclusion of the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. This guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. We adopted this guidance as of July 17, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance in relation to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance that amends the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). These amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the financial statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance was effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and was to be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In October 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on technical corrections and other revisions to various FASB codification topics. The guidance represents changes to clarify the codification, correct unintended application of the guidance or make minor improvements to the codification. The guidance also amends various codification topics to reflect the measurement and disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Certain amendments in this guidance were effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, while the remainder of the amendments were effective immediately. We previously adopted the guidance that was effective immediately and adopted the remainder of the guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance which amends the disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Under the guidance, an entity must disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance which clarified that the 2011 amendment to the balance sheet offsetting standard does not cover transactions that are not considered part of the guidance for derivatives and hedge accounting. This guidance was effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	We issue various types of product warranties under which we generally guarantee the performance of products delivered for a certain period or term. The reserve for product warranties includes the expected costs of warranty obligations imposed by law or contract, as well as the expected costs for mandatory or voluntary actions to recall and repair vehicles and for buyback commitments. We establish reserves for product warranty obligations when the related sale is recognized, which are reflected in the summary of the changes in accrued warranty costs below as “Provision for current period warranties.” Estimates are principally based on assumptions regarding the lifetime warranty costs of each vehicle line and each model year of that vehicle line, as well as historical claims experience for our vehicles. Estimates of the future costs of these actions are inevitably imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the number of vehicles affected by a service or recall action and the nature of the corrective action that may result in adjustments to the established reserves, which are reflected in the summary below as “Net adjustments to pre-existing warranties.”

	The changes in accrued product warranty costs (excluding deferred revenue from extended warranty and service contracts described below, as well as supplier recoveries) were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	We recognized recoveries from suppliers related to warranty claims of $20 million and $25 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $71 million and $84 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are excluded from the change in warranty costs above.
	We also offer customers the opportunity to purchase separately-priced extended warranty and service contracts. In addition, from time to time we sell certain vehicles with a service contract included in the sales price of the vehicle. The service contract and vehicle qualified as separate units of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The revenue from these contracts, as well as our separately-priced extended warranty and service contracts, is recorded as a component of Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the inception of the contract and is recognized as revenue over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred based on historical information.

Senior Credit Facilities Amendment
We amended and restated our credit agreement dated as of May 24, 2011 (the “Original Credit Agreement”) among us and the lenders party thereto. The amendments to the Original Credit Agreement were given effect in the amended and restated credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Original Credit Agreement provided for a $3.0 billion Tranche B Term Loan that was to mature on May 24, 2017, which was fully drawn on May 24, 2011 (the “Original Tranche B Term Loan”) and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility that was to mature on May 24, 2016, which was undrawn (the “Original Revolving Facility”), collectively referred to as the “Original Senior Credit Facilities.”

We refer to the amended Tranche B Term Loan and revolving credit facility as the “Tranche B Term Loan” and “Revolving Facility,” respectively. We collectively refer to the Tranche B Term Loan and Revolving Facility as the “Senior Credit Facilities.” The Tranche B Term Loan and Revolving Facility mature on May 24, 2017 and May 24, 2016, respectively. The Revolving Facility remains undrawn.
The amendment reduced the applicable interest rate spreads on the Original Senior Credit Facilities by 1.50 percent per annum and reduced the rate floor applicable to the Original Tranche B Term Loan by 0.25 percent per annum. As a result, all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest, at our option, either at a base rate plus 2.25 percent per annum or at LIBOR plus 3.25 percent per annum. For the Tranche B Term Loan, a base rate floor of 2.00 percent per annum or a LIBOR floor of 1.00 percent per annum apply. We currently accrue interest based on LIBOR.
In addition, the amendment reduced the commitment fee payable on the Revolving Facility to 0.50 percent per annum, which may be reduced to 0.375 percent per annum if we achieve a specified consolidated leverage ratio, of the daily average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility. The commitment fee remains payable quarterly in arrears.
If we voluntarily prepay or re-price all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan before the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the amendment, we will be obligated to pay a call premium equal to 1.00 percent of the principal amount prepaid or re-priced.
Certain negative covenants in the Original Credit Agreement were also amended, including limitations on incurrence of indebtedness and certain limitations on restricted payments, which include dividends. Under the Credit Agreement, among other exceptions, the restricted payment capacity was increased to an amount not to exceed 50 percent of our cumulative consolidated net income since January 1, 2012.
Lenders party to the Original Tranche B Term Loan that held $760 million of the outstanding principal balance either partially or fully reduced their holdings. These reductions were accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The remaining holdings were analyzed on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted for as a debt modification. The $2.9 billion outstanding principal balance on the Tranche B Term Loan did not change, as new and continuing lenders acquired the $760 million. The quarterly principal payment amount and timing of payments did not change as a result of this amendment.
We paid $35 million related to the call premium and other fees to re-price and amend the Original Credit Agreement, of which $27 million was deferred and will be amortized over the remaining terms of the Senior Credit Facilities. We recognized a $23 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which included the write off of $12 million of unamortized debt discounts and $3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Original Senior Credit Facilities, as well as $8 million of the call premium and fees noted above.
VEBA Trust Note
On June 10, 2009, and in accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement between us and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”), (“the VEBA Settlement Agreement”), we issued a senior unsecured note (“VEBA Trust Note”) with a face value of $4,587 million to the VEBA Trust.

Scheduled VEBA Trust Note payments through 2012 did not fully satisfy the interest accrued at the implied rate of 9.0 percent per annum. In accordance with the agreement, the difference between a scheduled payment and the accrued interest through June 30 of the payment year was capitalized as additional debt on an annual basis. In July 2013, we made a scheduled payment of $600 million, which was composed of $441 million of interest accrued through the payment date and $159 million of interest that was previously capitalized as additional debt. In July 2012, we made a scheduled payment of $400 million and accrued interest of $38 million was capitalized as additional debt.
The payment of capitalized interest is included as a component of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Refer to our 2012 Form 10-K for additional information related to the VEBA Settlement Agreement and VEBA Trust Note.
Canadian Health Care Trust Notes
On December 31, 2010, Chrysler Canada Inc. (“Chrysler Canada”) issued four unsecured promissory notes to an independent Canadian Health Care Trust (“HCT”), which we collectively refer to as the Canadian HCT Notes. Payments on the Canadian HCT Notes are due on June 30 of each year unless that day is not a business day in Canada, in which case payments are due on the next business day (“Scheduled Payment Date”).
We are not required to make a payment on the HCT Tranche C note until 2020. However, interest accrued at the stated rate of 7.5 percent per annum on the HCT Tranche C note will be capitalized as additional debt on the Scheduled Payment Date through 2019. Additionally, accrued interest in excess of payments on the HCT Tranche A and B notes is capitalized as additional debt on the Scheduled Payment Date. In July 2013 and 2012, $25 million and $74 million, respectively, of accrued interest was capitalized as additional debt.
In July 2013, we made a scheduled payment on the HCT Tranche B note of $66 million, which was composed of $44 million of interest accrued through the payment date and $22 million of interest that was previously capitalized as additional debt.
In January 2013, we made a prepayment on the HCT Tranche A note of the scheduled payment due on July 2, 2013. The amount of the prepayment, determined in accordance with the terms of the HCT Tranche A note, was $117 million and was composed of a $92 million principal payment and interest accrued through January 3, 2013 of $25 million. The $92 million HCT Tranche A note principal payment consisted of $47 million of interest that was previously capitalized as additional debt with the remaining $45 million representing a repayment of the original principal balance.
The payments of capitalized interest are included as a component of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made payments of $44 million on the Canadian HCT Notes, which included a $25 million principal payment and $19 million of interest accrued through the payment date.
Refer to our 2012 Form 10-K for further information regarding the Canadian HCT Notes.

Amounts Available for Borrowing under Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2013, our $1.3 billion Revolving Facility remains undrawn and the Tranche B Term Loan and Mexican development banks credit facilities remain fully drawn. Our $4.9 billion ($5.0 billion Canadian dollar) Gold Key Lease secured revolving credit facility remains undrawn as of September 30, 2013. However, as we are currently winding down the Gold Key Lease program, no additional funding will be provided.
Refer to our 2012 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the terms of our financing arrangements.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations	'
	Note 11. Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations
	Litigation
	Various legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations are pending against us on a wide range of topics, including vehicle safety; emissions and fuel economy; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; product warranties and environmental matters. Some of these proceedings allege defects in specific component parts or systems (including airbags, seats, seat belts, brakes, ball joints, transmissions, engines and fuel systems) in various vehicle models or allege general design defects relating to vehicle handling and stability, sudden unintended movement or crashworthiness. These proceedings seek recovery for damage to property, personal injuries or wrongful death and in some cases include a claim for exemplary or punitive damages. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings could require us to pay substantial damages, or undertake service actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions.
	Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. We establish an accrual in connection with pending or threatened litigation if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Since these accruals represent estimates, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of some of these matters could require us to make payments in excess of the amounts accrued. It is also reasonably possible that the resolution of some of the matters for which accruals could not be made may require us to make payments in an amount or range of amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at September 30, 2013.
	The term “reasonably possible” is used herein to mean that the chance of a future transaction or event occurring is more than remote but less than likely. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on our operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the estimated reserve is recorded, we believe that any resulting adjustment would not materially affect our consolidated financial position or cash flows.

	Environmental Matters
	We are subject to potential liability under government regulations and various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted against us concerning environmental matters. Estimates of future costs of such environmental matters are inevitably imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the development and application of new technologies, the identification of new sites for which we may have remediation responsibility and the apportionment and collectability of remediation costs among responsible parties. We establish reserves for these environmental matters when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of some of these matters may require us to make expenditures, in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on our operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment to the estimated reserve is recorded, we believe that any resulting adjustment would not materially affect our consolidated financial position or cash flows.
	Voluntary Service Actions and Recall Actions
	We periodically initiate voluntary service and recall actions to address various customer satisfaction, safety and emissions issues related to vehicles we sell. We establish reserves for product warranty obligations, including the estimated cost of these service and recall actions, when the related sale is recognized. Refer to Note 8, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, for additional information. The estimated future costs of these actions are based primarily on historical claims experience for our vehicles. Estimates of the future costs of these actions are inevitably imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws and regulations, the number of vehicles affected by a service or recall action and the nature of the corrective action that may result in adjustments to the established reserves. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost of these service and recall actions may require us to make expenditures in excess of established reserves, over an extended period of time and in a range of amounts that cannot be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate cost of these service and recall actions could have a material effect on our operating results for the particular reporting period in which an adjustment to the estimated reserve is recorded, we believe that any such adjustment would not materially affect our consolidated financial position or cash flows.
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash, which includes cash equivalents, was $341 million as of September 30, 2013. Restricted cash included $254 million held on deposit or otherwise pledged to secure our obligations under various commercial agreements guaranteed by a subsidiary of Daimler AG and $87 million of collateral for other contractual agreements.
	Concentrations
	Suppliers
	Although we have not experienced any significant deterioration in our annual production volumes as a result of materials or parts shortages, we have from time to time experienced short term interruptions and variability in quarterly production schedules as a result of temporary supply constraints or disruptions in the availability of raw materials, parts and components as a result of natural disasters and other unexpected events. Additionally, we regularly source systems, components, parts, equipment and tooling from a sole provider or limited number of providers. Therefore, we are at risk for production delays and losses should any supplier fail to deliver goods and services on time. We continuously work with our suppliers to monitor potential supply constraints and to mitigate the effects of any emerging shortages on our production volumes and revenues. We also maintain insurance coverage for certain losses we might incur due to shortages or other supplier disruptions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized insurance recoveries totaling $4 million and $76 million, respectively, related to losses sustained in 2011 due to supply disruptions. These recoveries were recognized as a reduction to Cost of Sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The proceeds from these recoveries were fully collected as of September 30, 2012. There were no similar insurance recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	Employees
	In the U.S. and Canada combined, substantially all of our hourly employees and approximately 20 percent of our salaried employees were represented by unions under collective bargaining agreements, which represented approximately 65 percent of our worldwide workforce as of September 30, 2013. The UAW and Unifor (which resulted from the merger of the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (“CAW”) and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada in September 2013) represent substantially all of these represented employees in the U.S. and Canada, respectively.
	Other Matters
	SCUSA Private-Label Financing Agreement
	In February 2013, we entered into a private-label financing agreement with Santander Consumer USA Inc. (“SCUSA”), an affiliate of Banco Santander (the “SCUSA Agreement”). The new financing arrangement launched on May 1, 2013. Under the SCUSA Agreement, SCUSA provides a wide range of wholesale and retail financing services to our dealers and consumers in accordance with its usual and customary lending standards, under the Chrysler Capital brand name. The financing services include credit lines to finance our dealers’ acquisition of vehicles and other products that we sell or distribute, retail loans and leases to finance consumer acquisitions of new and used vehicles at our dealerships, financing for commercial and fleet customers, and ancillary services. In addition, SCUSA will work with dealers to offer them construction loans, real estate loans, working capital loans and revolving lines of credit.
	Under the new financing arrangement, SCUSA has agreed to specific transition milestones for the initial year following launch. If the transition milestones are met, or otherwise satisfactory to us, the SCUSA Agreement will have a ten-year term, subject to early termination in certain circumstances, including the failure by a party to comply with certain of its ongoing obligations under the SCUSA Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, SCUSA provided us an upfront, nonrefundable payment of $150 million in May 2013, which was recognized as deferred revenue and will be amortized over ten years. As of September 30, 2013, $144 million remained in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	From time to time, we work with certain lenders to subsidize interest rates or cash payments at the inception of a financing arrangement to incentivize customers to purchase our vehicles, a practice known as “subvention.” We have provided SCUSA with limited exclusivity rights to participate in specified minimum percentages of certain of our retail financing rate subvention programs. SCUSA has committed to certain revenue sharing arrangements, as well as to consider future revenue sharing opportunities. SCUSA bears the risk of loss on loans contemplated by the SCUSA Agreement. The parties share in any residual gains and losses in respect of consumer leases, subject to specific provisions in the SCUSA Agreement, including limitations on our participation in gains and losses.
	Ally Auto Finance Operating Agreement and Repurchase Obligations
	In April 2013, the Auto Finance Operating Agreement between us and Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”), which we refer to as the “Ally Agreement”, was terminated. Notwithstanding the termination of the Ally Agreement, we anticipate that Ally will continue to provide wholesale and retail financing to our dealers and retail customers in the U.S. in accordance with its usual and customary lending standards. Our dealers and retail customers also obtain funding from other financing sources.
	In accordance with the terms of the Ally Agreement, we remain obligated to repurchase Ally-financed U.S. dealer inventory that was acquired on or before April 30, 2013 upon certain triggering events and with certain exceptions, in the event of an actual or constructive termination of a dealer’s franchise agreement, including in certain circumstances when Ally forecloses on all assets of a dealer securing financing provided by Ally. These obligations exclude vehicles that have been damaged or altered, that are missing equipment or that have excessive mileage or an original invoice date that is more than one year prior to the repurchase date.
	As of September 30, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made to Ally under this guarantee was approximately $1.0 billion and was based on the aggregate repurchase value of eligible vehicles financed by Ally in our U.S. dealer stock. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under this arrangement, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent the vehicles can be resold to another dealer. The fair value of the guarantee was less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2013, which considers both the likelihood that the triggering events will occur and the estimated payment that would be made net of the estimated value of inventory that would be reacquired upon the occurrence of such events. The estimates are based on historical experience.
	On February 1, 2013, the Canadian automotive finance business of Ally was acquired by the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”). Dealers with financing through Ally were offered new lending agreements with RBC, as the Ally-financing arrangements did not transfer with the sale. As such, we no longer have an obligation to repurchase dealer inventory in Canada that was acquired prior to February 1, 2013 and was financed by Ally.
	Other Repurchase Obligations
	In accordance with the terms of other wholesale financing arrangements in Mexico, we are required to repurchase dealer inventory financed under these arrangements, upon certain triggering events and with certain exceptions, including in the event of an actual or constructive termination of a dealer’s franchise agreement. These obligations exclude certain vehicles including, but not limited to, vehicles that have been damaged or altered, that are missing equipment or that have excessive mileage.

	As of September 30, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made in accordance with these other wholesale financing arrangements was approximately $284 million and was based on the aggregate repurchase value of eligible vehicles financed through such arrangements in the respective dealer’s stock. If vehicles are required to be repurchased through such arrangements, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent the vehicles can be resold to another dealer. The fair value of the guarantee was less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2013, which considers both the likelihood that the triggering events will occur and the estimated payment that would be made net of the estimated value of inventory that would be reacquired upon the occurrence of such events. The estimates are based on historical experience.

	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 or into or out of Level 3.
	We enter into over-the-counter currency forward and swap contracts to manage our exposure to risk relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate the fair value of currency forward and swap contracts by discounting future net cash flows derived from market-based expectations for exchange rates to a single present value.
	We enter into over-the-counter commodity swaps to manage our exposure to risk relating to changes in market prices of various commodities. Swap contracts are fair valued by discounting future net cash flows derived from market-based expectations for commodity prices to a single present value. For certain commodities within our portfolio, market-based expectations of these prices are less observable, and alternative sources are used to develop these inputs. We have classified these commodity swaps as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
	We take into consideration credit valuation adjustments on both assets and liabilities taking into account credit risk of our counterparties and non-performance risk as described in Note 13, Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management.

-1	As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of financial liabilities includes $6.5 billion and $6.9 billion measured utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of financial liabilities includes $6.5 billion and $7.1 billion measured utilizing Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively.
The estimated fair values have been determined by using available market information and valuation methodologies as described below. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are consistent with the definition presented in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments and consists primarily of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, time deposits and bankers’ acceptances.
Financial liabilities
We estimate the fair values of our financial liabilities using quoted market prices where available. Where market prices are not available, we estimate fair value by discounting future cash flows using market interest rates, adjusted for non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liability.
Derivative instruments
The fair values of derivative instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current estimated cash flow and discount rate assumptions.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management	'
	Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	All derivative instruments are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. We do not net our derivative position by counterparty for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The fair values of our derivative financial instruments are based on pricing models or formulas using current estimated cash flow and discount rate assumptions. We include an adjustment for non-performance risk in the recognized measure of fair value of derivative instruments. The adjustment is estimated based on the net exposure by counterparty. We use an estimate of the counterparty’s non-performance risk when we are in a net asset position and an estimate of our own non-performance risk when we are in a net liability position. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the adjustment for non-performance risk did not materially impact the fair value of derivative instruments.
	The use of derivatives exposes us to the risk that a counterparty may default on a derivative contract. We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of single–A or better. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in asset positions as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately $113 million and $36 million, respectively, representing the maximum loss that we would recognize at that date if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted. We enter into master agreements with counterparties that generally allow for netting of certain exposures; therefore, the actual loss that we would recognize if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted, could be significantly lower.
	The terms of the agreements with our counterparties for foreign currency exchange and commodity hedge contracts require us to post collateral when derivative instruments are in a liability position, subject to posting thresholds. In addition, these agreements contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding net asset or liability positions. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event under certain debt obligations. The fair values of the related gross liability positions as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which represent our maximum potential exposure, were $18 million and $55 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we posted $24 million as collateral for foreign currency exchange and commodity hedge contracts. The cash collateral is included in Restricted Cash in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Per the terms of our agreements, no collateral was required to be posted as of September 30, 2013.
	The following presents the gross and net amounts of our derivative assets and liabilities after giving consideration to the terms of the master netting arrangements with our counterparties (in millions of dollars):


			September 30, 2013								December 31, 2012
			Derivative				Derivative				Derivative				Derivative
			Assets				Liabilities				Assets				Liabilities
	Gross amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets		$	113			$	18			$	36			$	55
	Gross amounts not offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that are eligible for offsetting
	Derivatives			-17				-17				-24				-24
	Cash collateral pledged			—				—				—				-24

	Net Amount		$	96			$	1			$	12			$	7

	The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of our exposure to the financial risks described above. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivative instruments, such as foreign currency exchange rates or commodity volumes and prices.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	We use financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange risk associated with transactions in currencies other than the functional currency in which we operate. We also use financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges to hedge our exposure to commodity price risk associated with buying certain commodities used in the ordinary course of our operations.
	Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that are highly effective as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of estimated income taxes. These changes in the fair value are then released into earnings contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the hedged items. Cash flows associated with cash flow hedges are reported in Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The ineffective portions of the fair value changes are recognized in the results of operations immediately. The amount of ineffectiveness recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was immaterial. Our cash flow hedges mature within 18 months.
	We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively and hold amounts in AOCI with future changes in fair value recorded directly in earnings when (i) it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative is discontinued as a hedge instrument because it is not probable that a forecasted transaction will occur or (iii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. Those amounts held in AOCI are subsequently reclassified into income over the same period or periods during which the forecasted transaction affects income. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the forecasted transactions will not occur, the derivative continues to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value, and gains and losses that were recorded in AOCI are recognized immediately in earnings. The hedged item may be designated prospectively into a new hedging relationship with another derivative instrument.
	The following summarizes the fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges which were outstanding (in millions of dollars):

We expect to reclassify existing net gains of $100 million from AOCI to income within the next 12 months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Some derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting; for others, we elect not to apply hedge accounting. We use derivatives to economically hedge our financial and operational exposures. Unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivatives that are not designated as accounting hedges are included in Revenues, Net or Cost of Sales in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as appropriate depending on the nature of the risk being hedged. Cash flows associated with derivatives that are not designated as hedges are reported in Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Employee Retirement and Other Benefits	'
	Note 14. Employee Retirement and Other Benefits
	We sponsor both noncontributory and contributory defined benefit pension plans. The majority of the plans are funded plans. The noncontributory pension plans cover certain of our hourly and salaried employees. Benefits are based on a fixed rate for each year of service. Additionally, contributory benefits are provided to certain of our salaried employees under the salaried employees’ retirement plans. These plans provide benefits based on the employee’s cumulative contributions, years of service during which the employee contributions were made and the employee’s average salary during the five consecutive years in which the employee’s salary was highest in the 15 years preceding retirement.
	We provide health care, legal and life insurance benefits to certain of our hourly and salaried employees. Upon retirement from the Company, employees may become eligible for continuation of certain benefits. Benefits and eligibility rules may be modified periodically.
	Plan Amendments to U.S. and Canada Salaried Defined Benefit Pension Plans
	During the second quarter of 2013, we amended our U.S. and Canadian salaried defined benefit pension plans. The U.S. plans were amended in order to comply with Internal Revenue Service regulations, cease the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2013, and enhance the retirement factors. The Canada amendment ceases the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2014, enhances the retirement factors and continues to consider future salary increases for the affected employees.
	The following summarizes the effects of the interim remeasurement, curtailment gain and plan amendments as a result of the changes to the plans recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in millions of dollars):

Other Transactions with Related Parties	'
	Note 15. Other Transactions with Related Parties
	We engage in transactions with unconsolidated subsidiaries, associated companies and other related parties on commercial terms that are normal in the respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved.
	VEBA Trust
	As of September 30, 2013, the VEBA Trust had a 41.5 percent ownership interest in the Company. Interest expense on the VEBA Trust Note totaled $107 million and $111 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $326 million and $329 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Fiat
	Ownership Interest
	As of September 30, 2013, Fiat had a 58.5 percent ownership interest in the Company. Prior to that date, Fiat exercised its call option right to acquire three tranches of our Class A Membership Interests from the VEBA Trust, each of which represents approximately 3.3 percent of the Company’s outstanding equity. Interpretation of the call option agreement is currently the subject of a proceeding in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Chancery Court”) filed by Fiat in respect of the first exercise of the option in July 2012. On July 30, 2013, the Chancery Court granted Fiat’s motion for a judgment on the pleadings with respect to two issues in dispute. The Chancery Court also denied, in its entirety, the VEBA Trust’s cross-motion for judgment on the pleadings. Other disputed items remain open, as the Chancery Court ordered additional discovery on these issues. The parties have agreed to complete discovery in this matter in the spring of 2014 and to a trial date in the fall of 2014. In the event that these transactions are completed as contemplated, Fiat will own 68.5 percent of the ownership interests in Chrysler Group and the VEBA Trust will own the remaining 31.5 percent.
	In January 2013, the 200,000 Class B Membership Interests held by Fiat automatically converted to 571,429 Class A Membership Interests in accordance with Chrysler Group’s governance documents. There were no dilutive effects of the conversion.
	Industrial Alliance and Other Transactions
	Pursuant to our master industrial agreement with Fiat, we established an industrial alliance through which we collaborate with Fiat on a number of fronts, including product and platform sharing and development, global distribution, procurement, information technology infrastructure and process improvement. The alliance is comprised of various commercial arrangements entered into pursuant to the master industrial agreement.
	As part of our industrial alliance, we manufacture certain Fiat vehicles in Mexico, which are distributed throughout North America and sold to Fiat for distribution elsewhere in the world. In addition, Fiat manufactures certain Fiat brand vehicles for us, which we distribute in select markets. We are the exclusive distributor of Fiat brand vehicles and service parts throughout North America. We have also taken on the distribution of Fiat vehicles outside North America in those regions where our dealer networks are better established. Fiat is the general distributor of our vehicles and service parts in Europe and certain other markets outside of North America, where their dealer networks are better established.
	In addition, as part of the alliance, we have agreed to share access to certain platforms, vehicles, products and technology. We have also agreed to share costs with Fiat related to joint engineering and development activities and will reimburse each other based upon costs agreed to under the respective cost sharing arrangements. We have also entered into other transactions with Fiat for the purchase and supply of goods and services, including transactions in the ordinary course of business. We are obligated to make royalty payments to Fiat related to certain of the intellectual property that was contributed to us by Fiat. These royalty payments are calculated based on a percentage of the material cost of the vehicle, or portion of the vehicle or component, in which we utilize the Fiat intellectual property.
	In May 2012, and pursuant to a 2011 definitive technology license agreement with Fiat, we recorded a $37 million license fee for the use of intellectual property in the production of two vehicles. Production of one of the vehicles began during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and production of the second vehicle began during the three months ended September 30, 2013. We began amortizing the applicable portion of the seven year license fee when production launched for each of the vehicles. As of September 30, 2013, $35 million remained in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	In May 2013, we entered into a $120 million six-year capital lease with Fiat related to equipment and tooling used in the production of a vehicle.

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Restructuring Actions	'
	Note 16. Restructuring Actions
	In connection with our transaction with Old Carco LLC (“Old Carco”) in June 2009, we assumed certain liabilities related to specific restructuring actions commenced by Old Carco. These liabilities represented costs for workforce reduction actions related to our represented and non-represented hourly and salaried workforce, as well as specific contractual liabilities assumed for other costs, including supplier cancellation claims.
	Key initiatives for Old Carco’s restructuring actions included workforce reductions, elimination of excess production capacity, refinements to its product portfolio and restructuring of international distribution operations. To eliminate excess production capacity, Old Carco eliminated manufacturing work shifts, reduced line speeds at certain manufacturing facilities, adjusted volumes at stamping and powertrain facilities and idled certain manufacturing plants. Old Carco’s restructuring actions also included the cancellation of five existing products from its portfolio, discontinued development on certain previously planned product offerings and the closure of certain parts distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada. We will continue to execute the remaining actions under Old Carco’s restructuring initiatives. The remaining actions principally include the completion of the activities associated with the idling of two manufacturing facilities and the restructuring of our international distribution operations, the plans for which have been refined, including the integration of the operations of our European distribution and dealer network into Fiat’s distribution organization. Costs associated with these remaining actions include, but are not limited to: employee severance, relocations, legal claims and other international dealer network related costs. The remaining workforce reductions will affect represented and non-represented hourly and salaried employees and will be achieved through a combination of retirements, special programs, attrition and involuntary separations.
	There were no restructuring charges recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded charges, net of discounting, of $1 million related to costs associated with employee relocations for previously announced restructuring initiatives.
	We made refinements to existing reserve estimates resulting in net reductions of $1 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $12 million and $55 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the adjustments related to decreases in the expected workforce reduction costs and legal claim reserves as a result of management’s adequacy reviews. These reviews took into consideration the status of the restructuring actions and the estimated costs to complete the actions. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the adjustments included a reduction in other transition costs of $5 million resulting from the integration of the operations of our European distribution and dealer network into Fiat’s distribution organization. These refinements were as a result of management’s adequacy reviews.
	The restructuring charges and reserve adjustments are included in Restructuring Income, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and would have otherwise been reflected in Cost of Sales.
	Additional charges of $2 million related to employee relocations are expected to be recognized during the remainder of 2013 and 2014. We anticipate that the total costs we will incur related to these restructuring activities, including the initial assumption of the $554 million obligation from Old Carco, as well as additional charges and refinements made to the estimates, will be $527 million, including $355 million related to employee workforce reduction costs and $172 million of other costs. We expect to make total future payments of $59 million.

Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation	'
	Note 17. Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation
	The functional currency of Chrysler de Venezuela LLC (“CdV”), our 100 percent owned subsidiary in Venezuela, is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). Pursuant to certain Venezuelan foreign currency exchange control regulations, the Central Bank of Venezuela centralizes all foreign currency transactions in the country. Under these regulations, the purchase and sale of foreign currency must be made through the Commission for the Administration of Foreign Exchange (“CADIVI”).
	On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the official exchange rate of the Venezuelan bolivar (“VEF”) relative to the USD from 4.30 VEF per USD to 6.30 VEF per USD, effective February 13, 2013. As a result of this devaluation, we recognized a $78 million foreign currency translation loss as a reduction to Revenues, Net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Subsequent to the devaluation, certain monetary liabilities, which had been submitted to the CADIVI for payment approval through the ordinary course of business prior to the devaluation date, were approved to be paid at an exchange rate of 4.30 VEF per USD. As a result, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized foreign currency transaction gains in Revenues, Net of $5 million and $21 million, respectively, due to these monetary liabilities being previously remeasured at the 6.30 VEF per USD at the devaluation date. No other events occurred during 2013 that resulted in changes to the VEF to USD official exchange rate.
	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net monetary assets of CdV denominated in VEF were 1,913 million ($304 million at 6.30 VEF per USD) and 1,138 million ($265 million at 4.30 VEF per USD), respectively, which included cash and cash equivalents denominated in VEF of 2,140 million ($340 million at 6.30 VEF per USD) and 1,476 million ($343 million at 4.30 VEF per USD), respectively.

	Note 18. Supplemental Parent and Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
	Chrysler Group LLC (“Parent”), CG Co-Issuer Inc. (“CG Co-Issuer”), our 100 percent owned special purpose finance subsidiary, and certain of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the Secured Senior Notes due 2019 and Secured Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) on a joint and several basis. CG Co-Issuer does not have any operations, assets, liabilities (other than the Notes) or revenues. CG Co-Issuer and each of the Guarantors also guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities.
	In April 2013, a 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company became a guarantor to the Notes and Senior Credit Facilities as its total assets exceeded the de minimis subsidiary threshold defined in our Credit Agreement. The following supplemental parent and guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the addition of the new guarantor. The prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The term “Guarantors” hereinafter includes this new guarantor.
	The following condensed consolidating financial statements present financial data for (i) the Parent; (ii) the combined Guarantors; (iii) the combined Non-Guarantors (all subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (“Non-Guarantors”)); (iv) consolidating adjustments to arrive at the information for the Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors on a consolidated basis and (v) the consolidated financial results for Chrysler Group.
	Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent and Guarantors using the equity method for this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are therefore classified in the Parent’s and Guarantors’ investments in subsidiaries accounts. The consolidating adjustments set forth in the following condensed consolidating financial statements eliminate investments in subsidiaries, as well as intercompany balances, transactions, income and expense between the Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors.

	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2012 Form 10-K”) as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Refer to Note 18, Supplemental Parent and Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements, for additional information related to these reclassifications.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance requiring that certain unrecognized tax benefits be recognized as offsets against the corresponding deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, unless the deferred tax asset is not available or not intended to be used at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to allow for the inclusion of the Federal Funds Effective Swap Rate as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. This guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. We adopted this guidance as of July 17, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance in relation to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented for those obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements that exist at the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We will comply with this guidance as of January 1, 2014, and we are evaluating the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance that amends the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). These amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the financial statement where net income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance was effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, and was to be applied prospectively. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In October 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on technical corrections and other revisions to various FASB codification topics. The guidance represents changes to clarify the codification, correct unintended application of the guidance or make minor improvements to the codification. The guidance also amends various codification topics to reflect the measurement and disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Certain amendments in this guidance were effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, while the remainder of the amendments were effective immediately. We previously adopted the guidance that was effective immediately and adopted the remainder of the guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance which amends the disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Under the guidance, an entity must disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance which clarified that the 2011 amendment to the balance sheet offsetting standard does not cover transactions that are not considered part of the guidance for derivatives and hedge accounting. This guidance was effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
