FIAT 500 ABARTH 2013 2.G Warranty Booklet

2.2 Corrosion Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered if you are a purchaser for use of the
Abarth.
B. What’s Covered
This warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor
needed to repair or replace any body sheet metal panels
that have been perforated by rust from the inside out. If
a hole occurs because of something other than corrosion,
this warranty does not apply. Cosmetic or surface corro-
sion — resulting, for example, from stone chips or
scratches in the paint — is not covered. For more details
on what isn’t covered by this warranty, see 3.5.
C. How Long It Lasts
The Corrosion Warranty starts when your Basic Limited
Warranty begins under 2.1(E).This warranty has two time-and-mileage limits:
 For sheet metal panels, the limit is 36 months, with no
mileage limit.
 For an outer-body sheet metal panel — one that is
finish-painted and that someone can see when walk-
ing around the vehicle — the limits are 5 years or
100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs
first.

State of Kansas only)
For an Abarth sold and registered in the State of Kansas,

against defects in workmanship and materials for 10
years, regardless of mileage. This warranty does not
cover replacement of seatbelts and related components
required as the result of collision.

3. What’s Not Covered
3.1 Modifications Not Covered
A. Some Modifications Don’t Void the
Warranties But Aren’t Covered
Certain changes that you might make to your Abarth do
not, by themselves, void the warranties described in this
booklet. Examples of some of these changes are:
 installing non-Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) parts,
components, or equipment (such as a non-Chrysler
radio or speed control); and
 using special non-Chrysler materials or 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, materials,
or additives.
Performance or racing parts are considered to be
non-Chrysler parts. Repairs or adjustments caused by
their use are not covered under your warranties.
Examples of the types of alterations not covered are:
 installing accessories — except for genuine Chrysler /
MOPAR accessories installed by an authorized FIAT
repair facility;
 applying rustproofing or other protection products;
 changing the Abarth’s configuration or dimensions,
such as converting the vehicle into a limousine; or
 using any refrigerant that Chrysler has not approved.
WHAT’S NOT COVERED 10

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

engine tune-ups;
 replacing filters, coolant, spark plugs, bulbs, or fuses
(unless those costs result from a covered repair);
 cleaning and polishing; and
 replacing worn wiper blades, worn brake pads and
linings, or clutch linings.
3.4 Racing Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage or conditions caused by racing, nor do they
cover the repair of any defects that are found as the result
of participating in a racing event.
3.5 Certain Kinds of Corrosion Not
Covered
Your warranties don’t cover the following:
corrosion caused by accident, damage, abuse, or
Abarth alteration;
 surface corrosion caused by such things as industrial
fallout, sand, salt, hail, ocean spray, and stones;
 corrosion caused by the extensive or abnormal trans-
port of caustic materials like chemicals, acids, and
fertilizers; and
 corrosion of special bodies, body conversions, or
equipment that was not on your Abarth when it left the
manufacturing plant or was not supplied by Chrysler.
WHAT’S NOT COVERED 12

3.6 Other ExclusionsYour warranties don’t cover the costs of repairing
damage or conditions caused by any of the following:

fire or accident;
 abuse or negligence;
 misuse — for example, driving over curbs or over-
loading;
 tampering with the emission systems, or with a part
that could affect the emission systems;
 use of used parts, even if they were originally sup-
plied by Chrysler (however, authorized Chrysler /
MOPAR remanufactured parts are covered);
 windshield or rear window damage from external
objects; 
any changes made to your vehicle that don’t comply
with Chrysler; or
 using any fluid that doesn’t meet the minimum
recommendations in your Owner’s Manual.
3.7 Total Loss, Salvage, Junk, or Scrap
Vehicles Not Covered
An Abarth has no warranty coverage of any kind if:
the Abarth is declared to be a total loss by an
insurance company;
 the Abarth is rebuilt after being declared to be a total
loss by an insurance company; or
 the Abarth is issued a certificate of title indicating that
it is designated as “salvage,” “junk,” “rebuilt,”
“scrap,” or some similar word.
WHAT’S NOT COVERED 13

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.

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.
