5. How to Get Warranty Service
5.1 Where to Take Your FIAT 500e
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 FIAT 500e to your Selling Dealer. They know you
and your FIAT 500e 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 FIAT 500e 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 NorthAmerica:
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North America,
and your vehicle remains registered in the United States:
•You should take your FIAT 500e to an authorized
FIAT repair facility. They should give you the same
warranty 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.)
• When your FIAT 500e returns to the United States,
contact the FIAT Customer Assistance Center (section
6.2) for reimbursement consideration. You will nor-
mally need to provide a copy of the receipt, your FIAT
500e registration and any other relevant documents.
• Reimbursement will not be considered if the FIAT
500e 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 6.2) and the
customs department of the destination country before you move. FIAT 500e importation rules vary consider-
ably 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 FIAT 500e in your new country.
E. Notice:
If your FIAT 500e 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. (FIAT 500e vehicles registered to
United States government officials or military personnel
on assignment outside of the U.S. will continue to be
covered.)
