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

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;

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.)

patch towing service to transport your vehicle to the
closest authorized FIAT repair facility.

number, odometer mileage at the time of service and

paid, based on the usual and customary charges for that

7. How to Deal with Warranty
Problems
7.1 Steps to Take A. In General
Normally, warranty problems can be resolved by your
dealer’s sales or authorized FIAT repair facility depart-
ments. That’s why you should always talk to your
authorized FIAT repair facility service manager or deal-
er’s sales manager first. But if you’re not satisfied with
your dealer’s or authorized FIAT repair facility response
to your problem, Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler)
recommends that you do the following: Step 1:
Discuss your problem with the owner or general manager
of the dealership or authorized FIAT repair facility.
Step 2:
If your dealership or authorized FIAT repair facility still can’t resolve the problem, contact the FIAT Customer
Assistance Center. You’ll find the address in section 7.2.
B. What Chrysler Will Do
Once you have followed the two steps described in
7.1(A), a Chrysler representative at Chrysler headquar-
ters will review your situation. If it’s something that
Chrysler can help you with, Chrysler will provide your
dealer with all the information and assistance necessary
to resolve the problem. Even if Chrysler can’t help you,
Chrysler will acknowledge your contact and explain
Chrysler’s position.
