additives.But your warranties don’t cover any part that was not
on your Abarth when it left the manufacturing plant or
is not certified for use on your vehicle. Nor do they
cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might
be caused or needed because of the installation or use
of non-Chrysler parts, components, equipment, materi-
als, or additives.
