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;
WHAT’S NOT COVERED 11

If possible, bring all service receipts, maintenance
logs, and records proving that your Abarth has been
properly maintained, since you may be required to
show them.
B. Further Steps You Can Take, and How to Get More Information
If you think your authorized FIAT repair facility has
wrongly denied you emission-warranty coverage, follow
the steps described in 7.1. Chrysler will reply to you in
writing within 30 days after receiving your complaint (or
within the time limit required by local or state law). If the
owner is not notified within 30 days that a performance
warranty claim is denied, the manufacturer must repair
the Abarth free of charge. If you want more information about getting service
under the Federal Emission Warranty or the Performance
Warranty, or if you want to report what you think is a
violation of these warranties, you can contact:

9. Maintenance
9.1 General InformationIt’s your responsibility to properly maintain and operate
your new Abarth vehicle. Follow the instructions con-
tained in the General and Scheduled Maintenance Ser-
vice guidelines in your Owner’s Manual. Regular, sched-
uled maintenance is essential to trouble- free operation.
If there is a dispute between you and Chrysler Group
LLC (Chrysler) concerning your maintenance of
Abarth vehicle, Chrysler will require you to provide
proof that your vehicle was properly maintained. For your convenience, Chrysler has prepared a Main-
tenance Log which is included in your Owner’s Manual.
You should use this Maintenance Log to keep track of
scheduled maintenance, either by routinely having the
repairs entered in your Maintenance Log, or by keeping
receipts or other documentation of work you’ve had
done on your Abarth in your Maintenance Log.
MAINTENANCE 33

9.2 Where To Go For MaintenanceChrysler recommends that you return to the dealer from
whom you bought your Abarth for all maintenance
service both during and after the warranty periods.
Although you can get warranty service from any dealer
who sells your particular make, returning to your selling
dealer will help ensure that all your service needs are met
and that you’re completely satisfied. Authorized FIAT
repair facility technicians are specifically trained to
proficiently perform maintenance and repair procedures
on your Abarth vehicle.
Authorized FIAT repair facilities will help ensure that
all your service needs are met and that you’re completely
satisfied. Chrysler strongly recommends you use genuine
Chrysler/MOPAR parts to maintain your vehicle.
