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.
	Background
	Chrysler Group was formed on April 28, 2009 as a Delaware limited liability company. On June 10, 2009, we completed the transaction contemplated by the master transaction agreement dated April 30, 2009, among the Company, Fiat and Old Carco LLC (“Old Carco”) and certain of its subsidiaries, which was approved under section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “363 Transaction”). In connection with the closing of the 363 Transaction, we received capital contributions from the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the “VEBA Trust”), Fiat, the United States Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) and Canada CH Investment Corporation, a 100 percent owned subsidiary of the Canada Development Investment Corporation, a Canadian federal Crown corporation (“Canadian Government”), in exchange for ownership interests in the Company.
	As a result of a series of transactions during 2011 and 2012 that were contemplated in our governance documents and certain other agreements, our continuing members, as of December 31, 2013, were Fiat, which beneficially held a 58.5 percent ownership interest in us, and the VEBA Trust, which beneficially held the remaining 41.5 percent ownership interest in us. On January 21, 2014, Fiat completed a transaction in which its 100 percent owned indirect subsidiary Fiat North America LLC (“FNA”) indirectly acquired from the VEBA Trust all of the equity membership interests in Chrysler Group not previously held by FNA. Refer to Note 25, Subsequent Events, for additional information regarding Fiat’s acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Chrysler Group.
	Nature of Operations
	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 (the “Fiat-Chrysler Alliance”), we also manufacture certain Fiat-brand vehicles in Mexico, which are distributed by us throughout North America and select markets and sold to Fiat for distribution in other select markets. 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 2012 and 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. In June 2011, Fiat became the general distributor of our vehicles and service parts in Europe selling our products through a network of dealers. In addition, Fiat has taken on the distribution of our vehicles in certain markets outside of North America where its dealer networks are better established. We are the general distributor for Fiat vehicles in select markets outside of Europe. In addition, as part of the Fiat-Chrysler Alliance, Fiat manufactures certain Fiat-brand vehicles for us, which we sell in select markets. Refer to Note 19, Other Transactions with Related Parties, for additional information regarding the Fiat-Chrysler Alliance and other transactions with Fiat.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, recoverability of investments in equipment and other assets on operating leases, warranty obligations, product liability accruals, sales incentive obligations, restructuring accruals, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets, obligations related to income taxes, obligations related to employee benefits and the useful lives of property and equipment.
	Actual results could differ from those estimates. Future changes in economic conditions may have a significant effect on such estimates made by management. Management believes the following significant accounting policies affect its more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
	Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary and other entities controlled by us. Related parties that are 20 percent to 50 percent owned and subsidiaries where control is expected to be temporary are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	We continually evaluate our involvement with VIEs to determine whether we have variable interests and are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Based on our evaluation, we identified transactions with, or variable interests in, certain VIEs. The financial results of the VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for consolidations. Refer to Note 4, Variable Interest Entities, for additional information regarding our VIEs.
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
	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 it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it is consistent with our present practice.
	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 it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it is consistent with our present practice.
	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 it will not have a material 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 amended 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.
	Significant Accounting Policies
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue for sales of vehicles and service parts is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price of the transaction is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. For vehicles, this is generally when the vehicle is released to the carrier responsible for transporting vehicles to dealers. Revenues are recognized net of discounts, including but not limited to, cash sales incentives, customer bonuses and rebates granted. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales in the period incurred. Operating lease revenue is recognized over the contractual term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
	We use price discounts to adjust vehicle pricing in response to a number of market and product factors, including: pricing actions and incentives offered by competitors, economic conditions, the amount of excess industry production capacity, the intensity of market competition, consumer demand for the product and the need to support promotional campaigns. We may offer a variety of sales incentive programs at any given point in time, including: cash offers to dealers and retail customers and subvention programs offered to retail customers or lease subsidies, which reduce the retail customer’s monthly lease payment or cash due at the inception of the financing arrangement, or both. Incentive programs are generally brand, model and region specific for a defined period of time, which may be extended.
	We record the estimated cost of sales incentive programs offered to dealers and retail customers as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale to the dealer. This estimated cost represents the incentive programs offered to dealers and retail customers, as well as the expected modifications to these programs in order to facilitate sales of the dealer inventory. Subsequent adjustments to incentive programs related to vehicles previously sold to dealers are recognized as an adjustment to revenue in the period the adjustment is determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, incentive expense was $9.9 billion, $8.8 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, and is included as a reduction to Revenues, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Vehicle sales through our Guaranteed Depreciation Program (“GDP”), under which we guarantee the residual value or otherwise assume responsibility for the minimum resale value of the vehicle, are accounted for similar to an operating lease and rental income is recognized over the contractual term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
	At the end of the lease term, we recognize revenue for the portion of the vehicle sales price which had not been previously recognized as rental income and recognize, in cost of sales, the remainder of the cost of the vehicle which had not been previously recognized as depreciation expense over the lease term. Cash flows associated with this program are included within Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	We 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 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. A loss on these contracts is recognized if the sum of the expected costs for services under the contract exceeds unearned revenue.
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales is composed of a number of expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of vehicles and parts, the most significant of which is the cost of materials and components. The remaining costs principally include labor costs, consisting of direct and indirect wages and fringe benefits, as well as depreciation, amortization and transportation costs. Cost of sales also includes warranty and product-related costs, which are described below under Product-Related Costs, along with depreciation expense related to our GDP vehicles.
	Share-Based Compensation
	We have various compensation plans that provide for the granting of share-based compensation to certain employees and directors. We account for share-based compensation plans in accordance with the accounting guidance set forth for share-based payments, which requires us to recognize share-based compensation expense based on fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using a discounted cash flow methodology. For those awards with post-vesting contingencies, we apply an adjustment to account for the probability of meeting the contingencies. Liability-classified awards are remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. Compensation expense is recognized over the employee service period with an offsetting increase to contributed capital or accrued expenses and other liabilities depending on the nature of the award. If awards contain certain performance conditions in order to vest, we recognize the cost of the award when achievement of the performance condition is probable. Costs related to plans with graded vesting are generally recognized using the graded vesting method. We record share-based compensation expense in Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Product-Related Costs
	Expenditures for research and development include material and personnel costs and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses, net were $2,320 million, $2,324 million and $1,674 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising, sales promotion and other product-related costs are also expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, advertising expense was $2,788 million, $2,742 million and $2,560 million, respectively, and is included in Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	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 11, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, for additional information related to warranty reserves. The estimated future costs of these actions 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. Costs associated with these actions are recorded in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. We reserve for estimated product liability costs arising from personal injuries alleged to be the result of product defects. The valuation of the reserve is actuarially determined at least annually and when significant events occur or there are changes in circumstances. The valuation is based on, among other factors, the number of vehicles sold and product liability claims incurred. The product liability reserve is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs associated with this reserve are recorded in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and any subsequent adjustments to the product liability reserve are recorded in the period in which the adjustment is determinable.
	Restructuring Actions —Exit and Disposal Activities
	We account for employee separation, exit and disposal activities in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance on these topics. Actions associated with restructuring plans include, but are not limited to, workforce reductions, capacity adjustments (plant or facility closures or permanent shift eliminations), product cancellations and international distribution network realignments. Costs associated with these actions may include, but are not limited to, employee severance, accelerated post-employment benefits, relocations, contract terminations, plant deactivations and legal claims.
	Post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are recorded in the period when it is probable that employees will be terminated, which generally occurs when a plan meets the following criteria and is communicated to employees: (i) management, having authority to approve the action, commits to a plan of termination, (ii) the plan identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their location and job classifications or functions, as well as the expected completion date, (iii) the plan establishes the terms of the benefit arrangement, including the benefits that employees will receive upon termination, in sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive if they are involuntarily terminated and (iv) the actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will occur or that the plan will be withdrawn.
	Other associated costs such as relocations, contract terminations and plant deactivations are recorded when the costs are incurred. Costs associated with actions that will exceed one year are reflected on a discounted basis. Restructuring reserves are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reviewed at least quarterly for adequacy and any necessary adjustments are recorded in the period the adjustment is determinable.
	Income Taxes
	We are a limited liability company classified as a partnership entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, we are not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Rather, federal taxable income or loss is included in the respective federal income tax returns of our members. However, our provision for income taxes includes foreign taxes for our corporate subsidiaries, as well as for certain U.S. states which impose income taxes upon non-corporate legal entities.
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In addition, current income taxes include adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions and related interest expense or income. Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes, for additional information related to our accounting for income taxes.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts as a contra asset to our accounts receivable balances. A provision for probable losses is charged against selling, administrative and other expenses to maintain the allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount management believes represents the best estimate of probable losses related to specifically identified receivables, as well as probable losses inherent in all other receivables as of the balance sheet date. Management periodically and systematically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by reviewing historical loss experience, delinquency statistics and other factors in the economy that are expected to have an impact on the losses incurred, in addition to specifically identified probable losses.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost for a substantial portion of finished product inventories was determined primarily on a specific identification basis. The cost of other inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The measurement of inventories includes the costs of materials, direct labor, inbound transportation and manufacturing costs.
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net and Equipment and Other Assets on Operating Leases, Net
	Property, plant and equipment and equipment and other assets on operating leases are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses upon disposal of leased vehicles and adjustments to reflect impairment of the vehicles’ residual values are also included in depreciation expense. Under the terms of certain of our GDP agreements, leased vehicles are repurchased by us prior to being sold at auction. Upon our repurchase, the leased vehicle is reclassified from equipment and other assets on operating leases, net to inventory at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
	Residual Values
	We have significant investments in the residual values of our vehicle lease portfolios, which are included in Equipment and Other Assets on Operating Leases, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These residual values represent estimates of the fair value of the leased assets at the end of the contract terms and are initially recorded based on industry estimates. Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the vehicles for sale under the prevailing market conditions. Throughout the lease term, residual values are reviewed at least quarterly to determine whether the estimates of the fair value of the assets at the end of the lease terms are appropriate. To the extent the expected value of the vehicle at lease termination changes, we record adjustments to the expected residual value. Changes in the expected residual values are adjusted through additional or reduced depreciation or recognition of an impairment loss. These costs are included in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. These assumptions and related additional or reduced depreciation may change based on market conditions.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets held and used (such as property, plant and equipment, and equipment and other assets on operating leases) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds the fair value of the asset or group of assets. No impairment indicators were identified during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. As such, no impairment charges were recognized during the respective periods. When long-lived assets are considered held for sale, they are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation ceases.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	We account for goodwill in accordance with the accounting guidance related to intangibles and goodwill, which requires us to test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and when significant events occur or there are changes in circumstances that indicate the fair value is less than the carrying amount. Such events could include, among others, a significant adverse change in the business climate, an unanticipated change in the competitive environment and a decision to change the operations of the Company. We have one operating segment, which is also our only reporting unit.
	Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually as of October 1. At our election, we can qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value or we can perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, which is the first step of the two-step process described below. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment and we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required.
	When quantitative impairment testing is required as a result of the qualitative test or elected as the first assessment, goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test is to compare the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value is determined by estimating the present value of expected future cash flows for the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, no impairment exists and the second step of the test is not performed. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step of the test must be completed to measure the amount of the impairment. The second step of the test calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The implied fair value of goodwill is then compared to the carrying value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. No impairment losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	Intangible assets that have a finite useful life are generally amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis. However, certain other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are reviewed by management each reporting period and whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.
	Other intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment annually. In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on the annual testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. At our election, we can qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value or we can perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment and we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management estimates fair value through various techniques including discounted cash flow models, which incorporate market based inputs, and third party independent appraisals, as considered appropriate. Management also considers current and estimated economic trends and outlook. No impairment losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of certain of our subsidiaries, notably Mexico and Venezuela, is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of our other international operations, notably our Canadian subsidiaries and international distribution centers, is the respective subsidiary’s local currency. The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, where the functional currency is the respective subsidiary’s local currency, are translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of AOCI. Refer to Note 3, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for additional information on translation adjustments in AOCI.
	Foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions and the effects of remeasurement of monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded in earnings as incurred and are included in Revenues, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 22, Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation, for additional information related to the February 2013 currency devaluation in Venezuela.
	The following summarizes net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) (in millions of dollars):

Fair Value Measurements
The measurement of fair value is based on a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
	Level	1 —Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the balance sheet date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.
	Level		2  —Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the balance sheet date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be derived from observable data. Instruments in this category include commercial paper and non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter currency and commodity forwards, swaps and option contracts.
	Level	3 —Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At each balance sheet date, we perform an analysis of all instruments subject to fair value measurement and include in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity option and swap contracts.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are recognized as of the balance sheet date.
Refer to Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, for a detailed discussion of the use of observable and unobservable inputs. As part of the process of measuring the fair value of liabilities, we considered the non-performance risk related to that liability, which includes our credit risk. The effect of our credit risk on the fair value of the liability may differ depending on whether the liability is an obligation to deliver cash versus goods or services, as well as the terms of the credit enhancements related to the liability.

	ZF Marysville, LLC
	We have a commercial agreement with ZF Marysville, LLC (“ZFM”) in which ZFM produces lightweight axles at one of our facilities. ZFM was determined to be a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities. We hold no equity interests in ZFM and we do not have the power to direct the activities of ZFM which most significantly affect its economic performance. Therefore, we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of ZFM.
	ZFM began production in July 2010. Upon the start of operations, we recorded capital lease assets and capital lease obligations resulting from an embedded capital lease related to the equipment used to produce the lightweight axles. In July 2011, a second embedded capital lease was recorded related to equipment used to produce axle components. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $93 million and $108 million, respectively, of capital lease assets and $102 million and $115 million, respectively, of capital lease obligations, which are included in Property, Plant and Equipment, Net and Financial Liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our maximum exposure to loss is approximately $12 million through our contractual commitments to ZFM through 2020.

	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):
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013		2012		2011

	Interest accretion, translation and other adjustments			-51		33		19
	Balance at end of period		$	3,800	$	3,514	$	3,318
	During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized recoveries from suppliers related to warranty claims of $106 million, $105 million and $115 million, 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. Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information. 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 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.
	The following summarizes the changes in deferred revenue from these contracts (in millions of dollars):

Senior Credit Facilities and Secured Senior Notes
On May 24, 2011, we and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the following arrangements:
	•		Senior Credit Facilities — a $3.0 billion tranche B term loan maturing on May 24, 2017 (“Tranche B Term Loan”), which was fully drawn on May 24, 2011 and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility that matures on May 24, 2016 (“Revolving Facility”) and remains undrawn, which were subsequently amended and re-priced on June 21, 2013 to lower applicable interest rates, among other things, and the Tranche B Term Loan was subsequently re-priced on December 23, 2013 to further lower applicable interest rates;
	•		Secured Senior Notes due 2019 — issuance of $1.5 billion of 8 percent secured senior notes due June 15, 2019 (“Original 2019 Notes”); and
	•		Secured Senior Notes due 2021 — issuance of $1.7 billion of 8 1⁄4 percent secured senior notes due June 15, 2021 (“Original 2021 Notes”).
Senior Credit Facilities
The Senior Credit Facilities are with a syndicate of private sector lenders that provide for borrowings of up to $4.3 billion and include a revolving credit facility which may be borrowed and repaid from time to time until the maturity date. We amended and restated our credit agreement dated as of May 24, 2011 (“Original Senior Credit Agreement”) among us and the lenders party thereto. The amendments to the Original Senior Credit Agreement were given effect in the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of June 21, 2013 (“Senior Credit Agreement”). Additionally, on December 23, 2013 we re-priced the Tranche B Term Loan governed by the Senior Credit Agreement.
The Original Senior 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 and a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility that was to mature on May 24, 2016, which was undrawn. The maturity dates did not change under the Senior Credit Agreement. The Revolving Facility remains undrawn as of December 31, 2013.
The amendment in June 2013 reduced the applicable interest rate spreads on the Senior Credit Facilities by 1.50 percent per annum and reduced the rate floors applicable to the Tranche B Term Loan by 0.25 percent per annum. As a result, all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility 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. The subsequent re-pricing in December 2013 further reduced the applicable interest rate spreads and interest rate floors applicable to the Tranche B Term Loan by an additional 0.50 percent and 0.25 percent, respectively, per annum. All amounts outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loan will bear interest, at our option, either at a base rate plus 1.75 percent per annum or at LIBOR plus 2.75 percent per annum, subject to a base rate floor of 1.75 percent per annum or a LIBOR floor of 0.75 percent per annum, respectively. We currently accrue interest based on LIBOR.
In addition, the amendment in June 2013 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.
The outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loan is payable in equal quarterly installments of $7.5 million, with the remaining balance due at maturity. No scheduled principal payments are required on amounts drawn on the Revolving Facility until the maturity date of the facility.
If we voluntarily refinance or re-price all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan before the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the re-pricing in December 2013, under certain circumstances, we will be obligated to pay a call premium equal to 1.00 percent of the principal amount refinanced or re-priced.
Certain negative covenants in the Original Senior Credit Agreement were also amended, including limitations on incurrence of indebtedness and certain limitations on restricted payments, which include dividends. Under the Senior 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, as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement, since January 1, 2012.
In connection with the June 21, 2013 amendment and December 23, 2013 re-pricing, lenders party to the Tranche B Term Loan that held $790 million of the outstanding principal balance either partially or fully reduced their holdings. These reductions were accounted for as debt extinguishments. The remaining holdings were analyzed on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted for as debt modifications. The outstanding principal balance on the Tranche B Term Loan did not change, as new and continuing lenders acquired the $790 million.
We paid $38 million related to the call premium and other fees to re-price and amend the Original Senior Credit Agreement and to re-price the Tranche B Term Loan, of which $30 million was deferred and will be amortized over the remaining terms of the Senior Credit Facilities. We recognized a $24 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which included the write off of $13 million of unamortized debt discounts and $3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Credit Facilities, as well as $8 million of the call premium and fees noted above.
Up to $200 million of the Revolving Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. Prior to the final maturity date of each of the facilities, we have the option to extend the maturity date of all or a portion of these facilities with the consent of the lenders whose loans or commitments are being extended. We also have the option to increase the amount of these facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1.2 billion, either through an additional term loan, an increase in the Revolving Facility or a combination of both, subject to certain conditions.
Mandatory prepayments are required, subject to certain exceptions, from the net cash proceeds of asset sales, incurrence of additional indebtedness, insurance or condemnation proceeds and excess cash flow. In the case of excess cash flow, the mandatory prepayments are subject to a leverage-based step-down and only to the extent our liquidity exceeds a certain threshold.
The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by a senior priority security interest in substantially all of Chrysler Group LLC’s assets and the assets of its U.S. subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral includes 100 percent of the equity interests in Chrysler Group LLC’s domestic subsidiaries and 65 percent of the equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries held directly by Chrysler Group LLC and its U.S. subsidiary guarantors.
The Senior Credit Agreement includes a number of affirmative covenants, many of which are customary, including, but not limited to, the reporting of financial results and other developments, compliance with laws, payment of taxes, maintenance of insurance and similar requirements. The Senior Credit Agreement also contains several negative covenants, including but not limited to, (i) limitations on incurrence, repayment and prepayment of indebtedness; (ii) limitations on incurrence of liens; (iii) limitations on making restricted payments, including a limit on declaring dividends or making distributions to our members or stockholders, as the case may be; (iv) limitations on transactions with affiliates, swap agreements and sale and leaseback transactions; (v) limitations on fundamental changes, including certain asset sales and (vi) restrictions on certain subsidiary distributions. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum ratio of borrowing base to covered debt, as well as a minimum liquidity of $3.0 billion, which includes any undrawn amounts on the Revolving Facility.
The Senior Credit Agreement contains a number of events of default related to, (i) failure to make payments when due; (ii) failure to comply with covenants; (iii) breaches of representations and warranties; (iv) certain changes of control; (v) cross-default with certain other debt and hedging agreements and (vi) the failure to pay or post bond for certain material judgments. As of December 31, 2013 we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement.
Refer to Note 25, Subsequent Events, for information regarding the additional term loan borrowing under the Senior Credit Agreement.
Secured Senior Notes
We entered into an indenture with CG Co-Issuer Inc. (“CG Co-Issuer”), our 100 percent owned special purpose finance subsidiary, certain of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries (“Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and Citibank, N.A. as collateral agent, paying agent, registrar and authenticating agent, pursuant to which we issued the Original 2019 Notes and the Original 2021 Notes, collectively referred to as the “Original Notes.” The Original Notes were issued at par and were sold in a private placement to (i) qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) outside the United States to persons who are not U.S. persons (as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act) in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
In connection with the offering of the Original Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, we agreed to register notes having substantially identical terms as the Original Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the Original Notes. On December 29, 2011, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in our prospectus, we commenced an offer to exchange our new 8 percent secured senior notes due 2019 (“2019 Notes”) for the outstanding Original 2019 Notes and our new 8 1⁄4 percent secured senior notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) for the outstanding Original 2021 Notes. The 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes are collectively referred to as the “Notes.”
On February 1, 2012, our offers to exchange the Original 2019 Notes and Original 2021 Notes expired. Substantially all of the Original Notes were tendered for the Notes. The holders of the Notes received an equal principal amount of 2019 Notes for the Original 2019 Notes and an equal principal amount of 2021 Notes for the Original 2021 Notes. The form and terms of the Notes are identical in all material respects to the Original Notes, except that the Notes do not contain restrictions on transfer.
Beginning December 15, 2011, interest on each series of the Original Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December of each year, to the holders of record of such Original Notes at the close of business on June 1 or December 1, respectively, preceding such interest payment date.
We may redeem, at any time, all or any portion of the 2019 Notes on not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the holders of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed. Prior to June 15, 2015, the 2019 Notes will be redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2019 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and a “make-whole” premium calculated under the indenture. At any time prior to June 15, 2014, we may also redeem up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 108 percent of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. On and after June 15, 2015, the 2019 Notes are redeemable at redemption prices specified in the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The redemption price is initially 104 percent of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes being redeemed for the twelve months beginning June 15, 2015, decreasing to 102 percent for the year beginning June 15, 2016 and to par on and after June 15, 2017.
We may redeem, at any time, all or any portion of the 2021 Notes on not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed to the holders of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed. Prior to June 15, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2021 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and a “make-whole” premium calculated under the indenture. At any time prior to June 15, 2014, we may also redeem up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 108.25 percent of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. On and after June 15, 2016, the 2021 Notes are redeemable at redemption prices specified in the 2021 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The redemption price is initially 104.125 percent of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes being redeemed for the twelve months beginning June 15, 2016, decreasing to 102.75 percent for the year beginning June 15, 2017, to 101.375 percent for the year beginning June 15, 2018 and to par on and after June 15, 2019.
The indenture includes affirmative covenants, including the reporting of financial results and other developments. The indenture also contains negative covenants related to our ability and, in certain instances, the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, (i) pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s capital stock or repurchase the Company’s capital stock; (ii) make restricted payments; (iii) create certain liens to secure indebtedness; (iv) enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (v) engage in transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with certain companies and (vii) transfer and sell assets.
The indenture provides for customary events of default, including but not limited to, (i) nonpayment; (ii) breach of covenants in the indenture; (iii) payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness; (iv) a failure to pay certain judgments and (v) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If certain events of default occur and are continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding under one of the series may declare all of the Notes of that series to be due and payable immediately, together with accrued interest, if any. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture.

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 with a face value of $4,587 million to the VEBA Trust (“VEBA Trust Note”).
The VEBA Trust Note has an implied interest rate of 9.0 percent per annum and requires annual payments of principal and interest on July 15. Scheduled VEBA Trust Note payments through 2012 did not fully satisfy the interest accrued at the implied rate. 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 and 2011, we made scheduled payments of $400 million and $300 million, respectively, on the VEBA Trust Note and $38 million and $126 million, respectively, of accrued interest 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The VEBA Trust Note was issued under the terms of an indenture that contains certain negative covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurrence of indebtedness by Chrysler Group LLC that is senior, in any respect, in right of payment to the VEBA Trust Note and limits on the ability of our subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. The terms of a related registration rights agreement provide for certain registration rights that entitle the holder of the VEBA Trust Note to require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, for a public offering of the VEBA Trust Note beginning six months following Fiat’s acquisition of a majority ownership interest in us, which occurred in July 2011, and such rights became effective in January 2012.
Refer to Note 18, Employee Retirement and Other Benefits, for additional information regarding the VEBA Trust Note and VEBA Settlement Agreement and to Note 25, Subsequent Events, for information regarding the repayment of the 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”) in an initial aggregate face value of $976 million ($974 million Canadian dollar, “CAD”), which we collectively refer to as the Canadian HCT Notes. These notes were issued as part of the settlement of its obligations with respect to retiree health care benefits for National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (“CAW”, now part of Unifor) represented employees, retirees and dependents, which we refer to as the Canadian Health Care Trust Settlement Agreement. In addition, the Canadian HCT Notes had accrued interest from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 of $80 million ($80 million CAD) and a $31 million ($31 million CAD) net premium.
The terms of each of the notes are substantially similar and provide that each note will rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness for borrowed money of Chrysler Canada, and that Chrysler Canada will not incur indebtedness for borrowed money that is senior in any respect in right of payment to the 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”). Interest is accrued at the stated rate of 9.0 percent per annum for the HCT Tranche A and B notes. Accrued interest in excess of payments on the HCT Tranche A and B notes is capitalized as additional debt on the 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. In July 2013, July 2012 and June 2011, $25 million, $74 million and $27 million, respectively, of interest accrued in excess of the scheduled payments 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.
In 2012 and 2011, we made payments of $44 million and $47 million, respectively, on the Canadian HCT Notes, which included principal and interest accrued through the respective payment dates. The HCT Tranche D note was fully repaid in 2012.
The payments of capitalized interest are included as a component of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Mexico Development Banks Credit Facilities
In July 2010, Chrysler de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“Chrysler de Mexico”), our principal operating subsidiary in Mexico, entered into a financing arrangement with certain Mexican development banks which provides for a 15 year amortizing term loan facility equal to the Mexican peso equivalent of $400 million. The facility was fully drawn during July 2010 and was funded in Mexican pesos. Any amounts repaid on the facility cannot be re-borrowed.
In December 2011, Chrysler de Mexico entered into a financing arrangement with certain Mexican development banks which provides for a ten year amortizing term loan facility of 3.0 billion Mexican pesos. The facility was fully drawn during December 2011 and was funded in Mexican pesos. Principal payments on the loan are not required until 2016, and any amounts repaid cannot be re-borrowed.
The terms of these loans are similar. Chrysler de Mexico placed certain of its assets in special purpose trusts to secure repayment of the loans, including certain receivables and property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, Chrysler de Mexico had $56 million and $66 million, respectively, of cash on deposit with the trusts, which is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loans require compliance with certain covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on liens, incurrence of debt and asset sales. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facilities.
Gold Key Lease
We previously used special purpose entities to securitize future lease payments and vehicle residual values for the portfolio of vehicles under our Gold Key Lease financing program. We were the sole beneficiary of the consolidated assets from these VIEs and accordingly, we were considered to be the primary beneficiary. Chrysler Canada maintains our Gold Key Lease vehicle lease portfolio. The related vehicles are leased to Canadian consumers and were financed by asset-backed securitization facilities, as well as a $4.7 billion (5.0 billion CAD) secured revolving credit facility. In June 2012, we repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the asset-backed note payable. These obligations were primarily repaid out of collections from the operating leases and proceeds from the sales of the related vehicles. We are currently winding down the Gold Key Lease program, therefore, no additional funding will be required. No vehicles were added to the portfolio during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
U.S. Treasury Credit Facilities
On June 10, 2009, and in connection with the 363 Transaction, we entered into a first lien credit agreement with the U.S. Treasury, which included a $2.0 billion term loan (“Tranche B Loan”) used to acquire substantially all of the net operating assets of Old Carco. The credit agreement also made various term loans available to us for future working capital needs in an amount not to exceed $4.6 billion (“Tranche C Commitment”). In addition, we provided the U.S. Treasury a $288 million note and assumed $500 million of U.S. Treasury loans originally provided to Chrysler Holding LLC (“Chrysler Holding”) for the benefit of Old Carco. We collectively refer to these loans, as well as the amounts drawn on the Tranche C Commitment, as “Tranche C Loans.” We also provided the U.S. Treasury a $100 million zero coupon note.
The Tranche C Commitment was scheduled to accrue quarterly payable-in-kind (“PIK”) interest of a maximum of $17 million through June 10, 2017, and the PIK interest was to be capitalized on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, $17 million and $68 million of PIK interest was capitalized as additional debt during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
On May 24, 2011, we repaid all amounts owed under the U.S. Treasury first lien credit agreement and terminated all lending commitments thereunder. See Repayment of U.S. Treasury and EDC Credit Facilities below for additional information.
Export Development Canada Credit Facilities
Chrysler Canada entered into a loan and security agreement with Export Development Canada (“EDC”) on March 30, 2009, which was subsequently amended on April 29, 2009, pursuant to which the EDC provided a $1,238 million ($1,209 million CAD) secured term loan facility known as “Tranche X”. On June 10, 2009, the EDC loan agreement was amended and restated to increase the secured term loan facility by a CAD equivalent of $909 million USD, up to a maximum of $1,116 million CAD. The increase in the loan facility was known as “Tranche X-2”. In addition to the Tranche X and Tranche X-2 loans, Chrysler Canada provided the EDC additional notes of $81 million ($80 million CAD). The additional notes were included in the Tranche X facility.
On May 24, 2011, we repaid all amounts owed under the EDC loan and security agreement and terminated all lending commitments thereunder. See Repayment of U.S. Treasury and EDC Credit Facilities, below, for additional information.
Repayment of U.S. Treasury and EDC Credit Facilities

Refer to Note 14, Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations, for additional information related to the Ally MTA.
In connection with the repayment of our outstanding obligations under the U.S. Treasury and EDC credit facilities, we recognized a $551 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which consisted of the write off of $136 million of unamortized discounts and $34 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the U.S. Treasury credit facilities and $367 million of unamortized discounts and $14 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the EDC credit facilities. These charges are included in Loss on Extinguishment of Debt in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
Amounts Available for Borrowing under Credit Facilities
As of December 31, 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 $4.7 billion ($5.0 billion CAD) Gold Key Lease secured revolving credit facility remains undrawn as of December 31, 2013, however, no additional funding will be provided due to winding down the Gold Key Lease program.

	-1	In December 2013, we recognized a $962 million non-cash tax benefit related to the release of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets which is comprised of $956 million related to the beginning-of-the-year valuation allowance and $6 million related to current year activity.
	Provisions are made for estimated foreign income taxes, less available tax credits and deductions, which may be incurred on the future repatriation of our share of our subsidiaries’ undistributed cumulative earnings which are not deemed to be permanently reinvested. There were no provisions recorded on temporary differences of approximately $2,463 million for U.S. income taxes and approximately $2,573 million for foreign withholding taxes because these differences are permanent in duration. This amount may become taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiaries. There are no plans to repatriate the retained earnings from these subsidiaries, as the earnings are permanently reinvested. Quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any, associated with permanently reinvested earnings is not practicable.
	A reconciliation of income tax (benefit) expense provided using the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent to actual income taxes was as follows (in millions of dollars):

	The prior year financial information has been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, the relationship between income tax (benefit) expense and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate differs primarily due to the release of the valuation allowances on certain of our net deferred tax assets. The difference is also due to income generated by us and certain of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries as we are a limited liability company (“LLC”) taxed as a partnership and substantially all of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries are LLCs that are disregarded entities for U.S. federal tax purposes. The difference is also due to differences between foreign statutory tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
	For the year ended December 31, 2012, the relationship between income tax expense and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate differs primarily due to income generated by us and certain of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries as we are an LLC taxed as a partnership and substantially all of our 100 percent owned U.S. subsidiaries are LLCs that are disregarded entities for U.S. federal tax purposes. The difference is also due to differences between foreign statutory tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
	For the year ended December 31, 2011, the relationship between income tax expense and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate differs primarily due to losses generated by us and our LLC’s. The difference is also due to adjustments made to prior year returns and differences between foreign statutory tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
	As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately $83 million of total unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions. These are tax contingencies recorded, that if reversed due to a successful outcome, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. Our practice is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net interest expense of $3 million, $3 million and $2 million, respectively, was recognized in income tax expense. Accrued interest on uncertain tax positions was $12 million and $15 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows (in millions of dollars):

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the settlements with tax authorities of $783 million related to tax payments made during 2011 by a subsidiary of Daimler AG (“Daimler”) or by us in connection with the Chrysler Canada transfer pricing audit, which is described below.
In connection with the 363 Transaction, we acquired a majority of the equity investments of Old Carco’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and assumed liabilities for uncertain tax positions related to those subsidiaries. We file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Examinations by tax authorities have been completed through 2006 in Mexico and 2007 in Canada.
Chrysler Canada was reassessed additional taxes for the years 1996 through August 3, 2007 by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) and the Provincial Tax Authorities, collectively referred to as the “Canadian Tax Authorities,” related to transfer pricing adjustments (the “Canadian Transfer Pricing Reassessment”). In accordance with the terms of the June 3, 2009 tax settlement agreement between CG Investment Group LLC, Chrysler Holding, Old Carco and Daimler, which was subsequently assigned to and assumed by us in connection with the 363 Transaction, Daimler agreed to reimburse us for any tax and related interest and penalties in respect of certain specific tax liabilities arising prior to August 3, 2007, including the Canadian Transfer Pricing Reassessment.
The final reassessment on the Canadian transfer pricing matter (“Final Reassessment”) resulted in $1.5 billion of additional taxes and interest associated with this matter being owed to the Canadian Tax Authorities. The Canadian Tax Authorities applied $751 million of payments previously made by us against the amount owing under the Final Reassessment and as of December 31, 2011, Daimler had fully reimbursed us for these amounts. In addition, during 2011 Daimler made payments of $660 million to the Canadian Tax Authorities related to this matter and we fully settled the remainder of the obligation in 2012. We did not receive any additional reimbursements from Daimler related to this matter during 2013 or 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our tax receivable from Daimler associated with this matter was $58 million and $63 million, respectively, and is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting purposes and those measured for income tax return purposes. The table below summarizes the significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 (in millions of dollars):
		2013				2012

The 2013 state deferred tax assets consist of accrued expenses of $39 million, postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits of $35 million, pension liabilities and assets of $28 million, and state net operating losses carryforward of $5 million. The 2013 state deferred tax liabilities consist of property, plant and equipment of $46 million and other deferred tax liabilities of $17 million, which includes deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-life intangible assets of $12 million.
The 2012 state deferred tax assets consist of accrued expenses of $44 million, postretirement health care and life insurance benefits of $43 million, pension liabilities and assets of $50 million, state net operating losses carryforward of $18 million, and other deferred tax assets of $7 million. The 2012 state deferred tax liabilities consist of property, plant and equipment of $59 million and other of $20 million, which includes deferred tax liabilities for indefinite-life intangible assets of $14 million. The 2012 presentation of the state deferred tax assets is a net amount of deferred tax assets of $103 million, which were subject to a full valuation allowance and net deferred liabilities of $20 million, which mainly consist of indefinite-life intangibles which were not subject to valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets included the following tax credit and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards as of December 31 (in millions of dollars):

A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is required if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryback or carryforward periods applicable in each stated tax jurisdiction. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is absence of objective and verifiable positive evidence and there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years.
Our deferred tax assets consist primarily of those of our subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions. We have concluded that positive evidence, including achievement of sustained profitability as of December 31, 2013, outweighs our negative evidence and as a result we released a majority of our valuation allowances in respect of our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013. As we have previously disclosed, our subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions are highly dependent on our North American operations, which consists primarily of our U.S. operations. We believe we have achieved a level of sustained profitability for our U.S. operations, arising from improvements in management and business strategies since the 363 Transaction, as well as the achievement of a substantial portion of the financial and performance objectives as presented in the 2010-2014 Business Plan supported by improvements to product mix, higher international sales and the successful implementation of several new product development programs. Further, the closure of Fiat’s acquisition of the remainder of Chrysler Group's equity on January 21, 2014, solidifies the future alliance with Fiat. Refer to Note 25 Subsequent Events for further information. At December 31, 2013, our valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets was $151 million and is a decrease of $1,013 million from the prior year balance of $1,164 million.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations	'
	Note 14. 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 December 31, 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 11, 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.
	Commercial Commitments
	Certain major tier one and other automotive suppliers have short-term liquidity constraints due to the lack of available credit. In certain circumstances, we have provided financial support to such suppliers to avoid prolonged interruptions in the supply of components to us. Financial support includes, but is not limited to, parts re-pricing, debtor-in-possession loans, bridge loans, inventory financing and capital expenditure advances. In addition to parts re-pricing actions, we have recorded net charges of $34 million, $19 million and $41 million for financing support to suppliers for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash, which includes cash equivalents, was $333 million at December 31, 2013. Restricted cash included $247 million held on deposit or otherwise pledged to secure our obligations under various commercial agreements guaranteed by a subsidiary of Daimler and $86 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 year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized insurance recoveries totaling $76 million related to losses sustained in 2011 due to supply disruptions. These recoveries were recognized as a reduction to Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The proceeds from these recoveries were fully collected as of December 31, 2012. There were no similar insurance recoveries during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 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 64 percent of our worldwide workforce as of December 31, 2013. The UAW and Unifor (which resulted from the merger of the 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, Chrysler Group 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 December 31, 2013, $140 million remained in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying 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 MTA
	Prior to May 2011, we were a party to the Ally Master Transaction Agreement (“Ally MTA”) between the U.S. Treasury, Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”) and U.S. Dealer Automotive Receivables Transition LLC (“USDART”). The Ally MTA provided for a risk sharing arrangement, in which USDART would reimburse Ally for qualifying losses on loans with third party Chrysler Group dealerships issued prior to November 21, 2009. In May 2011, all parties mutually agreed to terminate the Ally MTA. Under the terms of the agreement, $96 million, which represented the remaining balance of a previous advance to USDART, was transferred to us. In addition, under the terms of the U.S. Treasury first lien credit agreement, amounts outstanding under that agreement were reduced by $4 million, the amount of qualifying losses incurred by Ally through April 2011. Prior to May 2011, USDART was determined to be a VIE as it did not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities.
	Ally Auto Finance Operating Agreement and Repurchase Obligations
	In April 2013, the Auto Finance Operating Agreement between Chrysler Group and 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 December 31, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made to Ally under this guarantee was approximately $230 million 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 December 31, 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, Chrysler Group no longer has 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 or an original invoice date that is more than one year prior to the repurchase date.
	As of December 31, 2013, the maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made in accordance with these other wholesale financing arrangements was approximately $361 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 December 31, 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.
	Arrangements with Key Suppliers
	From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we enter into various arrangements with key suppliers in order to establish strategic and technological advantages. A limited number of these arrangements contain unconditional purchase obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum quantity of goods and/or services with fixed and determinable price provisions. Purchases under these arrangements from third parties were $222 million, $437 million and $674 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future minimum purchase obligations under these arrangements as of December 31, 2013 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
	2014	$	271
	2015		211
	2016		151
	2017		85
	2018		13
	2019 and thereafter		30
	In addition, certain of the arrangements we have entered into with Fiat contain unconditional purchase obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum quantity of goods and/or services with fixed and determinable price provisions. Purchases under these arrangements were $372 million, $383 million and $305 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future minimum purchase obligations under these arrangements as of December 31, 2013 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
	2014	$	4
	2015		3
	2016		2
	2017		2
	2018		—
	2019 and thereafter		—
	We also enter into similar arrangements containing unconditional purchase obligations to purchase a minimum quantity of goods for which pricing is variable, and therefore do not have fixed and determinable future payment streams. Under these arrangements we are obligated to make payments or receive reimbursements if our purchase volumes are outside a specified range of values. Purchases from third parties under these arrangements were $412 million, $441 million and $346 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We did not have any purchases from unconsolidated related companies under these arrangements.
	Lease Commitments
	The majority of our lease payments are for operating leases. As of December 31, 2013, the future minimum rental commitments under operating leases with non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year were as follows (in millions of dollars):
	2014	$	137
	2015		109
	2016		92
	2017		76
	2018		55
	2019 and thereafter		187
	Future minimum lease commitments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rental income of $60 million due in the future under non-cancelable subleases. Rental expense under operating leases was $187 million, $174 million and $175 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We received sublease rentals of $21 million, $20 million and $24 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 and options 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. Options contracts are fair valued using variations of the Black Scholes option pricing model. 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 16, Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management.
	The following summarizes the changes in Level 3 items measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions of dollars):

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 value 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 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	Derivative instruments
	All derivative instruments are recognized in the accompanying 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 December 31, 2013 and 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $133 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 value of the related gross liability positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, which represent our maximum potential exposure, were $29 million and $55 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we posted $24 million as collateral for foreign exchange and commodity hedge contracts that were outstanding at year end. Per the terms of our agreements, no collateral was required to be posted as of December 31, 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 as of December 31 (in millions of dollars):
			2013								2012
			Derivative				Derivative				Derivative				Derivative
			Assets				Liabilities				Assets				Liabilities
	Gross amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		$	133			$	29			$	36			$	55
	Gross amounts not offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that are eligible for offsetting
	Derivatives			-24				-24				-24				-24
	Cash collateral pledged			—				—				—				-24
	Net Amount		$	109			$	5			$	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 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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was immaterial. Our cash flow hedges mature within 17 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 as of December 31 (in millions of dollars):
			2013

Share-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]	'
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Note 17. Share-Based Compensation
	We have awards outstanding under four share-based compensation plans: the Chrysler Group LLC Restricted Stock Unit Plan (“RSU Plan”), the Amended and Restated Chrysler Group LLC Directors’ Restricted Stock Unit Plan, (“Directors’ RSU Plan”), the Chrysler Group LLC Deferred Phantom Share Plan (“DPS Plan”) and the Chrysler Group LLC 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP Plan”).
	The fair value of each unit issued under the plans is based on the fair value of our membership interests. Each unit represents a “Chrysler Group Unit,” which is equal to 1/600th of the value of a Class A Membership Interest. Since there is no publicly observable trading price for our membership interests, fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. This approach, which is based on projected cash flows, is used to estimate our enterprise value. The fair value of our outstanding interest bearing debt as of the measurement date is deducted from our enterprise value to arrive at the fair value of equity. This amount is then divided by the total number of Chrysler Group Units, as determined above, to estimate the fair value of a single Chrysler Group Unit.
	The significant assumptions used in the contemporaneous calculation of fair value at each issuance date and for each period included the following:
		•		Four years of annual projections prepared by management that reflect the estimated after-tax cash flows a market participant would expect to generate from operating the business;
		•		A terminal value which was determined using a growth model that applied a 2.0 percent long-term growth rate to our projected after-tax cash flows beyond the four year window. The long-term growth rate was based on our internal projections, as well as industry growth prospects;
		•		An estimated after-tax weighted average cost of capital ranging from 16.0 percent to 16.5 percent in both 2013 and 2012, and 14.4 percent to 16.5 percent in 2011; and
		•		Projected worldwide factory shipments ranging from approximately 2.4 million vehicles in 2012 to approximately 3.3 million vehicles in 2017.
	In 2011, the implied fair value of the Company, resulting from the transactions through which Fiat acquired beneficial ownership of the membership interests previously held by the U.S. Treasury and Canadian Government, was used to corroborate the values determined using the discounted cash flow methodology. There were no such transactions during 2012 and 2013. On January 21, 2014, Fiat acquired the VEBA Trust’s remaining membership interest in Chrysler Group. Refer to Note 25, Subsequent Events, for additional information. The implied fair value of the Company resulting from this transaction, along with certain other factors, was used to corroborate the fair value determined at December 31, 2013 using our discounted cash flow methodology.
	Based on the discounted cash flow methodology, the per unit fair value of a Chrysler Group Unit, calculated based on the Chrysler Group Units of 980 million, was $10.47, $9.00 and $7.63 at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. All per unit fair values include a discount for lack of marketability of 10 percent.
	As of December 31, 2013, 29,400,000 units are authorized to be granted for the RSU Plan, Director RSU Plan and 2012 LTIP Plan. There is no limit on the number of Phantom Shares authorized under the DPS Plan. Upon adoption of the 2012 LTIP Plan, we agreed to cease making further grants under the RSU Plan and DPS Plan. The plans are described in more detail below.
	Anti-Dilution Adjustment
	The documents governing our share-based compensation plans contain anti-dilution provisions which provide for an adjustment to the number of Chrysler Group Units granted under the plans in order to preserve, or alternatively prevent the enlargement of, the benefits intended to be made available to the holders of the awards should an event occur that impacts our capital structure.
	As of December 31, 2013, there are no Class B Membership Interests issued and outstanding. The method by which the Class B Membership Interests were converted into Class A Membership Interests required that the Class B Membership Interests represent a portion of the total Class A Membership Interests equal to the aggregate Class B Membership Interests immediately prior to such conversion.
	The calculated number of Chrysler Group Units was originally determined by converting the Class B Membership Interests into Class A Membership Interests assuming they represented a 20 percent aggregate ownership interest in the Company. The following details the original conversion calculation:
	Membership Interests		Authorized, issued		Percentage		Calculated
			and outstanding as		Ownership Interest as		authorized, issued
			of June 10, 2009		of June 10, 2009		and outstanding
			(prior to conversion)		(prior to conversion)		(post conversion)
	Class A			800,000		80%		1,000,000 (1)
	Class B			200,000		20%		—
	Total Class A Membership Interests							1,000,000
	Total Chrysler Group Units (Class A * 600)							600,000,000
	-1	800,000 / 80% =,000,000
	During 2011, we achieved two of the Class B Events described in our governance documents and Fiat exercised its incremental equity call option. In each case, Fiat’s ownership interest in the Company increased through the dilution of the outstanding Class A Membership Interests and consequently, the value of a Chrysler Group Unit. Refer to Note 19, Other Transactions with Related Parties, for additional information regarding these events. In addition, in July 2011 Fiat acquired all of the Class A Membership Interests in the Company previously held by the U.S. Treasury and the Canadian Government. This did not impact the anti-dilution adjustment calculation. Therefore, in September 2011, and in accordance with the terms of our share-based compensation plans, the number of Chrysler Group Units authorized and granted was adjusted to preserve the economic value of the awards previously granted in order to offset the dilutive effect of changes in Fiat’s ownership interests. At the time the adjustment was made, the Class B Membership Interests represented a 30 percent aggregate ownership interest in the Company. However, we determined that it would be appropriate to convert the Class B Membership Interests into Class A Membership Interests assuming they represented a 35 percent aggregate ownership interest in the Company, which took into consideration our achievement of the third and final Class B Event, which occurred in January 2012. While the third and final Class B Event had not yet been achieved at the time the adjustment was made, we determined that it was probable that it would be achieved in the near term, and that upon achievement, it would further dilute the outstanding Class A Membership Interests.
	The following details the effect of these changes on the calculation of the total number of Chrysler Group Units:
	Membership Interests		Authorized, issued		Percentage		Calculated
			and outstanding as		Ownership Interest as		authorized, issued
			of August 31, 2011		of August 31, 2011		and outstanding
			(prior to conversion)		(prior to conversion)		(post conversion)
	Class A			1,061,225		65%		1,632,654 (1)
	Class B			200,000		35%		—
	Total Class A Membership Interests							1,632,654
	Total Chrysler Group Units (Class A * 600)							979,592,400
	-1	1,061,225 / 65% 1,632,654
	No other changes to any of the other terms of the awards issued under our share-based compensation plans were made in 2011. Further, as the value of the awards immediately prior to and after the adjustment was unchanged, no additional compensation expense was recognized as a result of this modification during 2011.
	There were no further capital structure changes in 2013 and 2012 that required an anti-dilution adjustment.
	2012 Long Term Incentive Plan
	In February 2012, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (“Compensation Committee”) approved the 2012 LTIP Plan that covers our senior executives, other than our Chief Executive Officer. The 2012 LTIP Plan is designed to retain talented professionals and reward their performance through annual grants of phantom equity in the form of restricted share units (“LTIP RSUs”), and performance share units (“LTIP PSUs”). LTIP RSUs may be granted annually, while LTIP PSUs are generally granted at the beginning of a three-year performance period. In addition, under the terms of the plan, the Compensation Committee has authority to grant additional LTIP PSU awards during the three-year performance period. The LTIP RSUs will vest over three years in one-third increments on the anniversary of their grant date, while the LTIP PSUs will vest at the end of the three-year performance period only if we meet or exceed certain three-year cumulative financial performance targets, which are consistent with those used in our incentive compensation calculations for our non-represented employees. Concurrent with the adoption of the 2012 LTIP Plan, the Compensation Committee established financial performance targets for the three-year performance period, ending December 31, 2014. If we do not fully achieve these targets, the LTIP PSUs will be deemed forfeited. LTIP RSUs and LTIP PSUs represent a contractual right to receive a payment in an amount equal to the fair value of one Chrysler Group Unit, as defined above.
	Once vested, LTIP RSUs and LTIP PSUs will be settled in cash or, in the event we complete an initial public offering (“IPO”) of equity securities, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to settle the awards in cash or shares of Chrysler Group’s publicly traded stock. Settlement will be made as soon as practicable after vesting, but in any case no later than March 15th of the year following vesting. Vesting of the LTIP RSUs and LTIP PSUs may be accelerated in certain circumstances, including upon the participant’s death, disability or in the event of a change of control.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, we granted 587,091 LTIP PSUs and 1,628,822 LTIP RSUs under our 2012 LTIP Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we granted 8,450,275 LTIP PSUs and 1,835,833 LTIP RSUs under the plan. These liability-classified awards are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, compensation expense of approximately $48 million and $31 million, respectively, was recognized for the 2012 LTIP Plan. The corresponding tax benefit in all periods was insignificant. Total unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2013 was approximately $44 million. Expense will be recognized over the remaining service periods based upon our assessment of the performance conditions being achieved. Payments under this plan were approximately $5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Payments made during the year ended December 31, 2012, in respect of these awards were not material.
	The following summarizes the activity related to the 2012 LTIP Plan awards issued to our employees:

Restricted Stock Unit Plans
RSU Plan
There were no awards issued under our RSU Plan during 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 1,266,267 RSUs and 2,749,696 RSUs, respectively, were granted under this plan. RSUs represent a contractual right to receive a payment in an amount equal to the fair value of one Chrysler Group Unit, as defined above.
Originally, RSUs granted to employees in 2009 and 2010 vested in two tranches. In the first tranche, representing 25 percent of the RSUs, vesting occurred if the participant was continuously employed through the third anniversary of the grant date, and the Modified Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Modified EBITDA”) threshold for 2010 was achieved. The 2010 Modified EBITDA target was achieved. In the second tranche, representing 75 percent of the RSUs, vesting occurred at the later of (i) the participant’s continuous employment through the third anniversary of the grant date and (ii) the date that we complete an IPO. Settlement of the 2009 and 2010 awards was initially contingent upon our repayment of a minimum of 25 percent of our outstanding U.S. Treasury debt obligations, which were fully repaid in May 2011.
In September 2012, our Compensation Committee approved a modification to the second tranche of RSUs. The modification removed the performance condition requiring an IPO to occur prior to the award vesting. Prior to this modification, the second tranche of the 2009 and 2010 RSUs were equity-classified awards. In connection with the modification of these awards, we determined that it was no longer probable that the awards would be settled with company stock. In September 2012, we reclassified the second tranche of the 2009 and 2010 RSUs from equity-classified awards to liability-classified awards. As a result of this modification, additional compensation expense of $16 million was recognized during 2012.
For RSUs granted to employees in 2011 and 2012, vesting occurs if the participant is continuously employed through the third anniversary of the grant date.
As of December 31, 2013, all RSUs are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The settlement of these awards will be in cash. However, if the Company were to complete an IPO, the awards may be settled in company stock and would then be accounted for as a modification from a liability-classified award to an equity-classified award.
Directors’ RSU Plan
In April 2012, the Compensation Committee amended and restated the Chrysler Group LLC 2009 Directors’ Restricted Stock Unit Plan to allow grants having a one year vesting term to be granted on an annual basis. Director RSUs are granted to our non-employee members of our Board of Directors. Prior to the change, Director RSUs were granted at the beginning of a three-year performance period and vested in three equal tranches on the first, second, and third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the participant remaining a member of our Board of Directors on each vesting date.
During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we granted 161,290 RSUs, 200,256 RSUs and 50,140 RSUs under our Directors’ RSU Plan, respectively. Awards issued and outstanding under this plan as of December 31, 2013 will vest in June 2014. These liability-classified awards are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Settlement of the awards will be made within 60 days of the director’s cessation of service on our Board and will be paid in cash. However, if we were to complete an IPO, the awards may be settled in stock and would then be accounted for as a modification from a liability-classified award to an equity-classified award.
During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense of $19 million, $36 million and $18 million, respectively was recognized in total for both of the RSU plans. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, includes the additional expense recognized in connection with the modification that occurred in September 2012. The corresponding tax benefit in all periods was insignificant. Total unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2013 for both of the RSU plans was $5 million and will be recognized over the remaining service periods. Payments under these plans were $27 million, $4 million and $6 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Deferred Phantom Shares Plan
Under the DPS Plan, phantom shares of the Company (“Phantom Shares”) were granted to certain key employees and to our Chief Executive Officer for his service as a member of our Board of Directors and vested immediately on the grant date and will be settled in cash. The Phantom Shares are redeemable in three equal annual installments. Phantom Shares represent a contractual right to receive a payment in an amount equal to the fair value of one Chrysler Group Unit, as defined above. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense of $1 million, $3 million and $18 million, respectively, was recognized for the DPS Plan. The corresponding tax benefit was insignificant in all periods. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, payments of $12 million and $27 million, respectively, were made under this plan. No payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2011.
These liability-classified awards are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Employee Retirement and Other Benefits	'
	Note 18. 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.
	We also sponsor defined contribution plans for certain of our hourly and salaried employees. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, contribution expense related to these plans was $60 million, $32 million and $13 million, respectively.
	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 year ended December 31, 2013 (in millions of dollars):
		Remeasurement		Curtailment		Total
				Gain and Plan

	Net pension benefit obligation (included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities)		-562		-218		-780
	Actuarial and curtailment gains included in AOCI		553		316		869
	Prior service cost included in AOCI		—		-98		-98
	Termination of Legal Services Plan
	In accordance with the 2011 UAW collective bargaining agreement provisions, a plan which provided legal services as a postretirement benefit to our UAW represented employees and retirees was terminated effective December 31, 2013. Accordingly, we recognized a $91 million negative plan amendment on December 31, 2011, which resulted in negative prior service cost which was recorded in AOCI and was fully amortized into Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses as of December 31, 2013.
	Transfer of VEBA Trust Assets and Obligations to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust
	In connection with the VEBA Settlement Agreement, we created the UAW Postretirement Health Care Plan, which was responsible for paying all postretirement health care claims incurred by our UAW vested retirees from June 10, 2009 through January 1, 2010. On January 1, 2010, the VEBA Trust assumed responsibility for all claims incurred by our UAW retirees subsequent to January 1, 2010, with the exception of claims incurred by retirees who participated in an early retirement program offered by Old Carco during the period from April 28, 2009 through May 25, 2009 (“Window Period”). For these individuals, we had an obligation to pay all claims incurred for 24 months from the date the individual retired. Refer to Note 12, Financial Liabilities, for additional information regarding the VEBA Settlement Agreement.
	On January 1, 2010, and in accordance with the terms of the VEBA Settlement Agreement, we transferred plan assets to the VEBA Trust and thereby were discharged of benefit obligations related to postretirement healthcare for certain UAW retirees. As a result of this settlement, we derecognized the associated other postretirement benefits (“OPEB”) obligation and we recognized a financial liability for the VEBA Trust Note at fair value.
	As of May 2011, the VEBA Trust assumed responsibility for all claims incurred by the retirees who participated in an early retirement program during the Window Period. As a result of actual claims being less than anticipated and as there was no remaining obligation related to this program we recognized a gain of $21 million during the year ended December 31, 2011.

Assumptions
Assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation and expense were as follows:
	Years Ended December 31,
	2013				2012				2011
	Pension		OPEB		Pension		OPEB		Pension		OPEB

Rate of compensation increase		3.09%		2.84%		3.09%		2.70%		3.77%		2.70%
Weighted-Average Assumptions Used to Determine Periodic Costs:

Expected return on plan assets		7.41%		—		7.41%		—		7.41%		—
Rate of compensation increase		3.09%		2.84%		3.77%		2.70%		3.77%		2.70%
We currently sponsor OPEB plans primarily in the U.S. and Canada. The annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered U.S. health care benefits assumed for 2013 was 6.75 percent. The annual rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0 percent in 2021 and remain at that level thereafter. The annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered Canadian health care benefits assumed for 2013 was 3.33 percent. The annual rate was assumed to increase gradually to 3.62 percent in 2017 and remain at that level thereafter.
The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits. A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate for U.S. and Canada combined would have the following effects as of December 31, 2013 (in millions of dollars):
	One Percentage Point
	Increase		Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost components	$	5	$	-4
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation		68		-58
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is developed using a consistent approach across all pension plans. This approach primarily considers various inputs from a range of advisors for long-term capital market returns, inflation, bond yields and other variables, adjusted for specific aspects of our investment strategy.
The discount rates for the plans were determined as of December 31 of each year. The rates are based on yields of high-quality (AA-rated or better) fixed income investments for which the timing and amounts of payments match the timing and amounts of the projected pension and postretirement health care, legal and life insurance benefit payments.
Plan Assets
Our investment strategies and objectives for pension assets reflect a balance of liability-hedging and return-seeking considerations. Our investment objectives are to minimize the volatility of the value of the pension assets relative to the pension liabilities and to ensure pension assets are sufficient to pay plan obligations. Our objective of minimizing the volatility of assets relative to liabilities is addressed primarily through asset diversification, partial asset-liability matching and hedging. Assets are broadly diversified across many asset classes to achieve risk-adjusted returns that, in total, lower asset volatility relative to the liabilities. In order to minimize pension asset volatility relative to the pension liabilities, a portion of the pension plan assets are allocated to fixed income investments.
The weighted-average target asset allocations for all of our plan assets at December 31, 2013 were 46 percent fixed income, 29 percent equity, 23 percent alternative investments and 2 percent other investments. Our policy, which rebalances investments regularly, ensures actual allocations are in line with target allocations as appropriate.
Assets are actively managed, primarily by external investment managers. Investment managers are not permitted to invest outside of the asset class or strategy for which they have been appointed. We use investment guidelines to ensure that investment managers invest solely within the mandated investment strategy. Certain investment managers use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign currencies impacting the fair values of certain investments. Derivative financial instruments may also be used in place of physical securities when it is more cost effective and/or efficient to do so.
Sources of potential risks in the pension plan assets relate to market risk, interest rate risk and operating risk. Market risk is mitigated by diversification strategies and, as a result, there are no significant concentrations of risk in terms of sector, industry, geography, market capitalization, manager or counterparty. Interest rate risk is mitigated by partial asset-liability matching. Our fixed income target asset allocation partially matches the bond-like and long-dated nature of the pension liabilities. Interest rate increases generally will result in a decline in the value of investments in fixed income securities and the present value of the obligations. Conversely, interest rate decreases generally will increase the value of investments in fixed income securities and the present value of the obligations. Operating risks are mitigated through ongoing oversight of external investment managers’ style adherence, team strength, firm health and internal controls.

Plan assets are recognized and measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements, which specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques (Level 1, 2 and 3). A variety of inputs are used, including independent pricing vendors, third party appraisals, and fund net asset value (“NAV”). Plan assets valued using NAV are classified as Level 3 if redemption at the measurement date is not available. Refer to Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for information regarding the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in short-term, high quality government securities and are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
Equity securities
Equity investments are composed broadly of U.S., developed international and emerging market equity securities and are generally valued using quoted market prices. Commingled funds, which include common collective trust funds, mutual funds and other investment entities, are valued at their NAV, which is based on the percentage ownership interest in the fair value of the underlying assets.
Fixed income securities
Fixed income investments are composed primarily of long-duration U.S. Treasury and global government bonds, as well as U.S., developed international and emerging market companies’ debt securities diversified by sector and geography. Fixed income securities are valued using quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, prices for similar assets and matrix pricing models are used.
Other investments
Other investments include private equity, real estate and hedge funds which are generally valued based on the NAV. Private equity investments include those in limited partnerships that invest primarily in operating companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange. Our private equity investment strategies include leveraged buyouts, venture capital, mezzanine and distressed investments. Real estate investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in various commercial and residential real estate projects both domestically and internationally. Hedge fund investments include those seeking to maximize absolute returns using a broad range of strategies to enhance returns and provide additional diversification. Investments in limited partnerships are valued at the NAV, which is based on audited financial statements of the funds when available, with adjustments to account for partnership activity and other applicable valuation adjustments.
Contributions and Payments
Employer contributions to our U.S. funded pension plans are expected to be $833 million in 2014, of which $790 million are discretionary contributions and $43 million are mandatory contributions to satisfy minimum funding requirements. Employer contributions to our unfunded pension and OPEB plans in 2014 are expected to be $58 million and $178 million, respectively, which represents the expected benefit payments to participants.
During the life of the plans, we intend to primarily utilize plan assets to fund benefit payments and minimize our cash contributions. OPEB payments are currently funded from our cash flows from operations.
In connection with the 363 Transaction, we acquired a $600 million receivable from a subsidiary of Daimler to fund contributions to our U.S. pension plans. This receivable was payable to us in three equal annual installments beginning in 2009 with the third and final $200 million installment received in 2011. Amounts received were utilized to fund a portion of our contributions to our funded pension plans in each year upon receipt of the installments.
Estimated future pension and OPEB benefits payments, and the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 subsidy (“Medicare Part D Subsidy”) expected to be received for the next 10 years were as follows (in millions of dollars):
	Pension		OPEB		Medicare Part D
	Benefits				Subsidy Receipts

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively the “Acts”) were enacted. The primary focus of the Acts is to significantly reform health care in the U.S., however several provisions of the Acts do not take effect for several years. Based on our ongoing assessments, we do not believe that the Acts will have a significant impact on our future period financial results.

	Note 19. Other Transactions with Related Parties
	We engage in arm’s length transactions with unconsolidated subsidiaries, associated companies and other related parties on commercial terms in their respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved.
	VEBA Trust
	As of December 31, 2013, the VEBA Trust had a 41.5 percent beneficial ownership interest in the Company. Interest expense on the VEBA Trust Note totaled $433 million, $440 million and $432 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Fiat
	Ownership Interest
	As of December 31, 2013, Fiat had a 58.5 percent beneficial ownership interest in the Company. Through a series of transactions in 2011 and early 2012, which included our achievement of the three Class B Events described in our governance documents and Fiat’s exercise of its incremental equity call option in May 2011, Fiat increased its ownership interest in the Company from 20.0 percent to 58.5 percent.
	In May 2011, and concurrent with the repayment of our U.S. Treasury and EDC credit facilities, Fiat exercised its incremental equity call option and acquired an additional 16 percent fully-diluted ownership interest in the Company through our issuance of 261,225 new Class A Membership Interests. We received the entire exercise price of $1,268 million in cash, increasing our contributed capital by the proceeds received. Refer to Note 12, Financial Liabilities, for information related to our refinancing transaction and the repayment of our U.S. Treasury and EDC credit facilities.
	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 our governance documents. There were no dilutive effects of the conversion.
	Refer to Note 25, Subsequent Events, for additional information regarding Fiat’s acquisition, through FNA, of the remaining equity interests in the Company from the VEBA Trust on January 21, 2014.
	Fiat-Chrysler Alliance and Other Transactions
	As part of the 363 Transaction, we also entered into a master industrial agreement with Fiat, or Master Industrial Agreement, which has significantly accelerated our efforts to revitalize and reshape our product portfolio through the manufacture of fuel-efficient vehicles utilizing Fiat technology, and has helped us benefit from the managerial experience Fiat leaders gained during Fiat’s own industrial recovery.
	Pursuant to the Fiat-Chrysler Alliance, 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 composed of various commercial arrangements entered into pursuant to our Master Industrial Agreement with Fiat.
	As part of the Fiat-Chrysler Alliance, we manufacture certain Fiat-brand 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 Fiat-Chrysler 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 Fiat’s 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 December 31, 2013, $33 million remained in Deferred Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	In October 2012, we sold three 100 percent owned international dealerships to Fiat for approximately $24 million. Fiat received approximately $9 million of cash held by these entities. There was no gain or loss on this transaction. Upon settlement of the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded a payable of approximately $1 million due to Fiat.
	In May 2013, we entered into a $120 million (non-cash) six-year capital lease with Fiat related to equipment and tooling used in the production of a vehicle.
	In December 2013, we entered into an agreement with Fiat related to the production of a vehicle for which Fiat will incur, on our behalf, costs and expenses for the development, manufacture and procurement of equipment and tooling. As of December 31, 2013, we recognized $98 million of such costs and expenses associated with Chrysler unique tooling which has been recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have also agreed to fund upfront common capital investments based on an allocation of total costs as a percentage of the committed contract volumes of supplied vehicles. The amounts, allocation, structure and timing for funding our upfront common capital investment is expected to be finalized in 2014.

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Restructuring Actions	'
	Note 21. Restructuring Actions
	In connection with the 363 Transaction, 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, 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 in 2013. We recorded charges, net of discounting, of $1 million and $51 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the charges primarily related to costs associated with employee relocations for previously announced restructuring initiatives. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the charges primarily included costs associated with employee relocations and plant deactivations for previously announced restructuring initiatives, as well as other transition costs of $20 million resulting from the integration of the operations of our European distribution and dealer network into Fiat’s distribution organization.
	We made refinements to existing reserve estimates resulting in net reductions of $14 million, $62 million and $48 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the adjustments related to decreases in the expected workforce reduction costs and legal claim reserves. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the adjustments related to decreases in the expected workforce reduction costs and legal claim reserves, as well as other transition costs of $5 million related to the integration of the operations of our European distribution and dealer network into Fiat’s distribution organization. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the adjustments related to decreases in the expected workforce reduction costs, legal and supplier cancellation claim reserves as a result of management’s adequacy reviews, and refinements in the estimated costs required to settle certain litigation matters and other costs directly associated with the integration of the operations of our European distribution and dealer network into Fiat’s distribution organization. These refinements, which were based on management’s adequacy reviews, took into consideration the status of the restructuring actions and the estimated costs to complete the actions.
	The restructuring charges and reserve adjustments are included in Restructuring (Income) Expenses, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and would have otherwise been reflected in Cost of Sales.
	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 $523 million, including $351 million related to employee termination benefits and $172 million of other costs. We expect to make total future payments of $56 million.
	Restructuring reserves are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following summarizes the restructuring reserves activity (in millions of dollars):

Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation	'
	Note 22. Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation
	The functional currency of Chrysler de Venezuela LLC (“CdV”), our 100 percent owned subsidiary in Venezuela, is the 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 Consolidated Statements of Income in 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 year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized foreign currency transaction gains in Revenues, Net of $22 million 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the net monetary assets of CdV denominated in VEF were 2,221 million ($352 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 2,347 million ($373 million at 6.30 VEF per USD) and 1,476 million ($343 million at 4.30 VEF per USD), respectively.

	Note 23. Supplemental Parent and Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
	Chrysler Group LLC (“Parent”), 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 2019 Notes and 2021 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. Refer to Note 12, Financial Liabilities, for additional information related to the Notes and 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 Original Senior Credit Agreement. The following supplemental parent and guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements reflect the addition of the new guarantor. The prior year financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current year 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.

	Fiat Equity Purchase Agreement and UAW Memorandum of Understanding
	On January 21, 2014, Fiat, through its 100 percent owned indirect subsidiary FNA, acquired the VEBA Trust’s 41.5 percent membership interest in us for $3.65 billion. This transaction was funded through a one-time special distribution paid by us to our members of $1.9 billion, of which FNA directed their portion to the VEBA Trust, and a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the VEBA Trust from FNA. Concurrent with the closing of the transactions, we paid a distribution of approximately $60 million to our members in connection with such members’ tax obligations.
	Contemporaneously, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the UAW to supplement our existing collective bargaining agreement in which the UAW made commitments to continue to support our industrial operations and continued roll-out of our World Class Manufacturing programs. Under the MOU, we agreed to make payments to the VEBA Trust totaling $700 million to be paid in four equal annual installments. The initial payment of $175 million was made with the closing of a transaction between FNA and the VEBA Trust in which we became a 100 percent owned indirect subsidiary of Fiat. This initial payment was funded from available cash on hand. The subsequent payments are payable on each of the next three anniversaries of the initial payment.
	New Debt Issuances and Repayment of the VEBA Trust Note
	On February 7, 2014, we and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the following transactions to facilitate the repayment of the VEBA Trust Note:
		•	New Senior Credit Facilities – a $250 million additional term loan under the existing Tranche B Term Loan facility and a new $1,750 million term loan credit facility that matures on December 31, 2018;
		•	Secured Senior Notes due 2019 – issuance of an additional $1,375 million aggregate principal amount of 8 percent secured senior notes due June 15, 2019, at an issue price of 108.25 percent of the aggregate principal amount; and
		•	Secured Senior Notes due 2021 – issuance of an additional $1,380 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1⁄4 percent secured senior notes due June 15, 2021, at an issue price of 110.50 percent of the aggregate principal amount.
	The proceeds of these transactions were used to repay all amounts outstanding, including accrued and unpaid interest, of approximately $5.0 billion under the VEBA Trust Note.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, recoverability of investments in equipment and other assets on operating leases, warranty obligations, product liability accruals, sales incentive obligations, restructuring accruals, valuation of derivative instruments, valuation of deferred tax assets, obligations related to income taxes, obligations related to employee benefits and the useful lives of property and equipment.
	Actual results could differ from those estimates. Future changes in economic conditions may have a significant effect on such estimates made by management. Management believes the following significant accounting policies affect its more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation	'
	Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary and other entities controlled by us. Related parties that are 20 percent to 50 percent owned and subsidiaries where control is expected to be temporary are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	We continually evaluate our involvement with VIEs to determine whether we have variable interests and are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Based on our evaluation, we identified transactions with, or variable interests in, certain VIEs. The financial results of the VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for consolidations. Refer to Note 4, Variable Interest Entities, for additional information regarding our VIEs
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
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 it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it is consistent with our present practice.
	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 it will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as it is consistent with our present practice.
	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 it will not have a material 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 amended 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.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue for sales of vehicles and service parts is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price of the transaction is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. For vehicles, this is generally when the vehicle is released to the carrier responsible for transporting vehicles to dealers. Revenues are recognized net of discounts, including but not limited to, cash sales incentives, customer bonuses and rebates granted. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales in the period incurred. Operating lease revenue is recognized over the contractual term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
	We use price discounts to adjust vehicle pricing in response to a number of market and product factors, including: pricing actions and incentives offered by competitors, economic conditions, the amount of excess industry production capacity, the intensity of market competition, consumer demand for the product and the need to support promotional campaigns. We may offer a variety of sales incentive programs at any given point in time, including: cash offers to dealers and retail customers and subvention programs offered to retail customers or lease subsidies, which reduce the retail customer’s monthly lease payment or cash due at the inception of the financing arrangement, or both. Incentive programs are generally brand, model and region specific for a defined period of time, which may be extended.
	We record the estimated cost of sales incentive programs offered to dealers and retail customers as a reduction to revenue at the time of sale to the dealer. This estimated cost represents the incentive programs offered to dealers and retail customers, as well as the expected modifications to these programs in order to facilitate sales of the dealer inventory. Subsequent adjustments to incentive programs related to vehicles previously sold to dealers are recognized as an adjustment to revenue in the period the adjustment is determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, incentive expense was $9.9 billion, $8.8 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, and is included as a reduction to Revenues, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Vehicle sales through our Guaranteed Depreciation Program (“GDP”), under which we guarantee the residual value or otherwise assume responsibility for the minimum resale value of the vehicle, are accounted for similar to an operating lease and rental income is recognized over the contractual term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
	At the end of the lease term, we recognize revenue for the portion of the vehicle sales price which had not been previously recognized as rental income and recognize, in cost of sales, the remainder of the cost of the vehicle which had not been previously recognized as depreciation expense over the lease term. Cash flows associated with this program are included within Cash Flows from Operating Activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
	We 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 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. A loss on these contracts is recognized if the sum of the expected costs for services under the contract exceeds unearned revenue.
Cost of Sales	'
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales is composed of a number of expenses incurred in the manufacturing and distribution of vehicles and parts, the most significant of which is the cost of materials and components. The remaining costs principally include labor costs, consisting of direct and indirect wages and fringe benefits, as well as depreciation, amortization and transportation costs. Cost of sales also includes warranty and product-related costs, which are described below under Product-Related Costs, along with depreciation expense related to our GDP vehicles.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	We have various compensation plans that provide for the granting of share-based compensation to certain employees and directors. We account for share-based compensation plans in accordance with the accounting guidance set forth for share-based payments, which requires us to recognize share-based compensation expense based on fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using a discounted cash flow methodology. For those awards with post-vesting contingencies, we apply an adjustment to account for the probability of meeting the contingencies. Liability-classified awards are remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled. Compensation expense is recognized over the employee service period with an offsetting increase to contributed capital or accrued expenses and other liabilities depending on the nature of the award. If awards contain certain performance conditions in order to vest, we recognize the cost of the award when achievement of the performance condition is probable. Costs related to plans with graded vesting are generally recognized using the graded vesting method. We record share-based compensation expense in Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
Product-Related Costs	'
	Product-Related Costs
	Expenditures for research and development include material and personnel costs and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses, net were $2,320 million, $2,324 million and $1,674 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising, sales promotion and other product-related costs are also expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, advertising expense was $2,788 million, $2,742 million and $2,560 million, respectively, and is included in Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
	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 11, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, for additional information related to warranty reserves. The estimated future costs of these actions 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. Costs associated with these actions are recorded in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. We reserve for estimated product liability costs arising from personal injuries alleged to be the result of product defects. The valuation of the reserve is actuarially determined at least annually and when significant events occur or there are changes in circumstances. The valuation is based on, among other factors, the number of vehicles sold and product liability claims incurred. The product liability reserve is included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs associated with this reserve are recorded in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and any subsequent adjustments to the product liability reserve are recorded in the period in which the adjustment is determinable.
Restructuring Actions -Exit and Disposal Activities	'
	Restructuring Actions —Exit and Disposal Activities
	We account for employee separation, exit and disposal activities in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance on these topics. Actions associated with restructuring plans include, but are not limited to, workforce reductions, capacity adjustments (plant or facility closures or permanent shift eliminations), product cancellations and international distribution network realignments. Costs associated with these actions may include, but are not limited to, employee severance, accelerated post-employment benefits, relocations, contract terminations, plant deactivations and legal claims.
	Post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are recorded in the period when it is probable that employees will be terminated, which generally occurs when a plan meets the following criteria and is communicated to employees: (i) management, having authority to approve the action, commits to a plan of termination, (ii) the plan identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their location and job classifications or functions, as well as the expected completion date, (iii) the plan establishes the terms of the benefit arrangement, including the benefits that employees will receive upon termination, in sufficient detail to enable employees to determine the type and amount of benefits they will receive if they are involuntarily terminated and (iv) the actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will occur or that the plan will be withdrawn.
	Other associated costs such as relocations, contract terminations and plant deactivations are recorded when the costs are incurred. Costs associated with actions that will exceed one year are reflected on a discounted basis. Restructuring reserves are included in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reviewed at least quarterly for adequacy and any necessary adjustments are recorded in the period the adjustment is determinable.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	We are a limited liability company classified as a partnership entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, we are not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Rather, federal taxable income or loss is included in the respective federal income tax returns of our members. However, our provision for income taxes includes foreign taxes for our corporate subsidiaries, as well as for certain U.S. states which impose income taxes upon non-corporate legal entities.
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In addition, current income taxes include adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions and related interest expense or income. Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes, for additional information related to our accounting for income taxes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts as a contra asset to our accounts receivable balances. A provision for probable losses is charged against selling, administrative and other expenses to maintain the allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount management believes represents the best estimate of probable losses related to specifically identified receivables, as well as probable losses inherent in all other receivables as of the balance sheet date. Management periodically and systematically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by reviewing historical loss experience, delinquency statistics and other factors in the economy that are expected to have an impact on the losses incurred, in addition to specifically identified probable losses.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost for a substantial portion of finished product inventories was determined primarily on a specific identification basis. The cost of other inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The measurement of inventories includes the costs of materials, direct labor, inbound transportation and manufacturing costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net and Equipment and Other Assets on Operating Leases, Net	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net and Equipment and Other Assets on Operating Leases, Net
	Property, plant and equipment and equipment and other assets on operating leases are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains and losses upon disposal of leased vehicles and adjustments to reflect impairment of the vehicles’ residual values are also included in depreciation expense. Under the terms of certain of our GDP agreements, leased vehicles are repurchased by us prior to being sold at auction. Upon our repurchase, the leased vehicle is reclassified from equipment and other assets on operating leases, net to inventory at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Residual Values	'
	Residual Values
	We have significant investments in the residual values of our vehicle lease portfolios, which are included in Equipment and Other Assets on Operating Leases, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These residual values represent estimates of the fair value of the leased assets at the end of the contract terms and are initially recorded based on industry estimates. Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the vehicles for sale under the prevailing market conditions. Throughout the lease term, residual values are reviewed at least quarterly to determine whether the estimates of the fair value of the assets at the end of the lease terms are appropriate. To the extent the expected value of the vehicle at lease termination changes, we record adjustments to the expected residual value. Changes in the expected residual values are adjusted through additional or reduced depreciation or recognition of an impairment loss. These costs are included in Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. These assumptions and related additional or reduced depreciation may change based on market conditions.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets held and used (such as property, plant and equipment, and equipment and other assets on operating leases) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds the fair value of the asset or group of assets. No impairment indicators were identified during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. As such, no impairment charges were recognized during the respective periods. When long-lived assets are considered held for sale, they are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation ceases.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	We account for goodwill in accordance with the accounting guidance related to intangibles and goodwill, which requires us to test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and when significant events occur or there are changes in circumstances that indicate the fair value is less than the carrying amount. Such events could include, among others, a significant adverse change in the business climate, an unanticipated change in the competitive environment and a decision to change the operations of the Company. We have one operating segment, which is also our only reporting unit.
	Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually as of October 1. At our election, we can qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value or we can perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, which is the first step of the two-step process described below. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment and we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required.
	When quantitative impairment testing is required as a result of the qualitative test or elected as the first assessment, goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test is to compare the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value. The fair value is determined by estimating the present value of expected future cash flows for the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, no impairment exists and the second step of the test is not performed. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is greater than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step of the test must be completed to measure the amount of the impairment. The second step of the test calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The implied fair value of goodwill is then compared to the carrying value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. No impairment losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	Intangible assets that have a finite useful life are generally amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis. However, certain other finite-lived intangible assets are amortized in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are reviewed by management each reporting period and whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.
	Other intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment annually. In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on the annual testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. At our election, we can qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value or we can perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment and we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management estimates fair value through various techniques including discounted cash flow models, which incorporate market based inputs, and third party independent appraisals, as considered appropriate. Management also considers current and estimated economic trends and outlook. No impairment losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	The functional currency of certain of our subsidiaries, notably Mexico and Venezuela, is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). The functional currency of our other international operations, notably our Canadian subsidiaries and international distribution centers, is the respective subsidiary’s local currency. The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, where the functional currency is the respective subsidiary’s local currency, are translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of AOCI. Refer to Note 3, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for additional information on translation adjustments in AOCI.
	Foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates on transactions and the effects of remeasurement of monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded in earnings as incurred and are included in Revenues, Net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 22, Venezuelan Currency Regulations and Devaluation, for additional information related to the February 2013 currency devaluation in Venezuela.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The measurement of fair value is based on a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
		Level	1 —Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the balance sheet date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.
		Level		2  —Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the balance sheet date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be derived from observable data. Instruments in this category include commercial paper and non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over-the-counter currency and commodity forwards, swaps and option contracts.
		Level	3 —Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At each balance sheet date, we perform an analysis of all instruments subject to fair value measurement and include in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity option and swap contracts.
	Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels are recognized as of the balance sheet date.
	Refer to Note 15, Fair Value Measurements, for a detailed discussion of the use of observable and unobservable inputs. As part of the process of measuring the fair value of liabilities, we considered the non-performance risk related to that liability, which includes our credit risk. The effect of our credit risk on the fair value of the liability may differ depending on whether the liability is an obligation to deliver cash versus goods or services, as well as the terms of the credit enhancements related to the liability.
