D. Towing Costs Are Covered Under Certain
CircumstancesRoadside Assistance covers the cost of towing your
Abarth to the nearest authorized FIAT repair facility if
your vehicle can’t be driven because a covered part has
failed. Roadside Assistance lasts for up to 4 years, with
no mileage limit, calculated from the warranty start date.
See Section 6.2 for information on how to get Roadside
Assistance service in the United States and Canada.
E. When It Begins
The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the
following dates, whichever is earlier:
the date you take delivery of the Abarth; or
 the date when the Abarth was first put into service —
for example, as a dealer “demo” or as a Chrysler
company vehicle.
F. When It Ends
The Basic Limited Warranty lasts for 4 years from the
date it begins or for 50,000 miles on the odometer,
whichever occurs first. But the following items are
covered only for 12 months or for 12,000 miles on the
odometer, whichever occurs first:
 brakes (rotors, pads, linings, and drums);
 wiper blades;
 clutch discs or modular clutch assembly (as
equipped);
 windshield and rear window; and
 wheel alignment and wheel balancing.
WHAT’S COVERED UNDER CHRYSLER GROUP LLC’S WARRANTIES 6

B. Modifications That WILL Void Your
W arranties
These actions will void your warranties:
disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odom-
eter will void your warranties, unless your repairing
technician follows the legal requirements for repairing
or replacing odometers; or
 attaching any device that disconnects the odometer
will also void your warranties.
3.2 Environmental Factors Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover damage caused by environ-
mental factors such as airborne fallout, bird droppings,
insect damage, chemicals, tree sap, salt, ocean spray,
acid rain, and road hazards. Nor do your warranties
cover damage caused by hailstorms, windstorms, torna-
does, sandstorms, lightning, floods, and earthquakes. Your warranties do not cover conditions resulting
from anything impacting the Abarth. This includes
cracks and chips in glass, scratches and chips in painted
surfaces, or damage from collision.
3.3 Maintenance Costs Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage caused by poor or improper maintenance. Nor
do they cover damage caused by the use of contaminated
fuels, or by the use of fuels, oils, lubricants, cleaners or
fluids other than those recommended in your Owner’s
Manual.
The warranties don’t cover the costs of your vehicle’s
normal or scheduled maintenance — the parts and
services that all vehicles routinely need. Some of these
parts and services, which your warranties don’t cover,
include:
 lubrication;

4. Other Terms of Your
W arranties
4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in W
arranty Repairs
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Chrysler Group
LLC (Chrysler) may offer exchange service on some
vehicle parts. This service is intended to reduce the
amount of time your Abarth is not available for your use
because of repairs. Parts used in exchange service may
be new, remanufactured, reconditioned, or repaired,
depending on the part involved.
All exchange parts that might be used meet Chrysler
standards, and have the same warranties as new parts.
Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced
in this way are: 
engine assemblies;
 transmission assemblies;
 instrument cluster assemblies;
 radios, tape, CD and DVD players;
 speedometers; and
 powertrain control modules.
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the
EPA requires the capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air-conditioning refrigerant gases. As a re-
sult, a repair to the sealed portion of your air-
conditioning system may involve the installation of
purified reclaimed refrigerant.
OTHER TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTIES 15

4.2 Pre-Delivery ServiceA defect in or damage to the mechanical, electrical,
sheet-metal, paint, trim, and other components of your
vehicle may have occurred at the factory or while it was
being shipped to the dealer.
Such a defect or damage is usually detected and
corrected at the factory. In addition, dealers must inspect
each vehicle before delivery. They repair any defects or
damage detected before the Abarth is delivered to you.
4.3 Production Changes
Changes may be made in Abarth vehicles sold by
Chrysler and its dealers at any time without incurring
any obligation to make the same or similar changes on
vehicles previously built or sold.
OTHER TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTIES 16

your Abarth has been maintained and operated prop-
erly up until it fails such a test; and
 you face a real penalty — for example, a fine or the
loss of the use of your Abarth — because the vehicle
has failed the test.
Section 6.4 explains how to get service under this
warranty.
