2013 FIAT 500 ABARTH Warranty Booklet

Chrysler will deny warranty coverage without notice
if it learns that an Abarth is ineligible for coverage for
any of these reasons.
3.8 Restricted Warranty
Your warranties can also be restricted by Chrysler.
Chrysler may restrict the warranty on your Abarth if the
vehicle is not properly maintained, or if the vehicle is
abused or neglected, and the abuse or neglect interferes
with the proper functioning of the vehicle. If the war-
ranty is restricted, coverage may be denied or subject to
approval by Chrysler before covered repairs are
performed.
WHAT’S NOT COVERED 14

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

Parts Covered for 2 Years or 24,000 Miles
Federal law requires Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) to

24,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Chrysler covers all
of these parts under the Basic Limited Warranty for 4
years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
 Air system controls;
 distributor and its components;
 electronic fuel injection system, including injector;
 evaporative-emission canister and controls;

exhaust gas recirculation valve and control system;
 exhaust pipes (between exhaust manifold and cata-
lyst);
 fuel cap and tank assembly, pump, and fuel lines;
 ignition coil and ignition module;
 intake manifold;
 on-board diagnostic-system components;
 oxygen sensors;
 positive crankcase-ventilation (PCV) valve or orifice;

EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW 17

vacuum hoses, clamps, and fittings, as well as tubing
used for these components;
 vacuum, temperature, altitude, speed, time-sensitive
valves, sensors, and switches used in these compo-
nents and systems.
B. Parts Covered for 8 years or 80,000 miles
If your Abarth has one of the following parts, this
Federal Emission Warranty covers that part for a period
of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first,
calculated from the start of the Basic Limited Warranty
as set forth in Section 2.1(E). The covered parts are:
 catalytic converter; and
 powertrain control module.
5.2 Emission Performance Warranty
This warranty supplements the federal warranty under
5.1. It lasts for 2 years or 24,000 miles on the odometer,
whichever occurs first. If your Abarth has one of the
following parts, catalytic converter and powertrain con-
trol module, this Federal Emission Warranty covers that
part for a period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. These limits are counted from the time when
your Basic Limited Warranty begins under 2.1(E). The
Emission Performance Warranty covers the cost of
repairing or adjusting any components or parts that
might be needed for your vehicle to pass Federal
Emission Standards for a federally approved state or
local emissions test, but only if:
your Abarth has failed a federally approved state or
local emissions test;
EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW 18

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.

6. How to Get Warranty Service
6.1 Where to Take Your Abarth
A. In the United States (We Include U.S.
Possessions and Territories as Part of the
United States for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service must be done by an authorized FIAT
repair facility. We strongly recommend that you take
your Abarth to your Selling Dealer. They know you and
your Abarth best, and are most concerned that you get
prompt and high quality service. If you move within the
United States, warranty service may be requested from
any authorized FIAT repair facility.
B. In Canada and Mexico:
If you are traveling temporarily in Canada or Mexico,
and your Abarth remains registered in the United States, your Chrysler warranty still applies. Service may be
requested at any authorized FIAT repair facility.
C. In a Foreign Country Outside of North
America:
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North
America, and your vehicle remains registered in the
United States:
You should take your Abarth to an authorized FIAT
repair facility. They should give you the same war-
ranty service you receive in the United States.
 If the authorized FIAT repair facility charges you for
repairs which you feel should be covered under your
warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the work
done. Make sure that this receipt lists all warranty
repairs and parts that were involved. (This receipt will
be similar to the one used by the authorized FIAT
repair facility who normally services your vehicle.)
HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE 20

When your Abarth returns to the United States,
contact the FIAT Customer Assistance Center (section
7.2) for reimbursement consideration. You will nor-
mally need to provide a copy of the receipt, your
Abarth registration and any other relevant documents.
 Reimbursement will not be considered if the Abarth
does not return to the United States.
D. If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure to contact the
FIAT Customer Assistance Center (section 7.2) and the
customs department of the destination country before
you move. Abarth importation rules vary considerably
from country to country. You may be required to present
documentation of your move to Chrysler in order to
continue your warranty coverage. You may also be
required to obtain documentation from Chrysler in order
to register your Abarth in your new country.
E. Notice:
If your Abarth is registered outside of the United States,
and you have not followed the procedure set out above,
your vehicle will no longer be eligible for warranty
coverage of any kind. (Abarth vehicles registered to
United States government officials or military personnel
on assignment outside of the U.S. will continue to be
covered.)
