LEGAL RIGHTS
1. Your Legal Rights Under
These Limited Warranties
The warranties contained in this booklet are the only
express warranties that Chrysler Group LLC ("Chrysler")
makes for your Abarth. These warranties give you
specific legal rights. You may also have other rights
that vary from state to state. For example, you may have
some implied warranties, depending on the state where
your Abarth was sold or is registered.
These implied warranties are limited, to the extent
allowed by law, to the time periods covered by the
express written warranties contained in this booklet.
If you use your Abarth primarily for business or
commercial purposes, then these implied warranties do
not apply and Chrysler completely disclaims them to the
extent allowed by law. And the implied warranty of fitness
for a particular purpose does not apply if your Abarth is
used for racing, even if the vehicles is equipped for
racing.Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.1.1 Incidental and Consequential
Damages Not Covered
Your warranties don’t cover any incidental or
consequential damages connected with your Abarth’s
failure, either while under warranty or afterward.
Examples of such damages include:
• lost time;
• inconvenience;
• the loss of the use of your Abarth;
• the cost of rental vehicles, gasoline, telephone,
travel, or lodging;
• the loss of personal or commercial property; and
• the loss of revenue.
Some states don’t allow incidental or consequential
damages to be excluded or limited, so this exclusion
may not apply to you.

2. What's Covered Under
Chrysler Group LLC's
Warranties
2.1 Basic Limited Warranty
A. Who Is Covered?
You are covered by the Basic Limited Warranty if
you are a purchaser for use of the Abarth.
B. What’s Covered
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of all
parts and labor needed to repair any item on your
Abarth when it left the manufacturing plant that is
defective in material, workmanship or factorypreparation. There is no list of covered parts since the
only exception is tires. You pay nothing for these
repairs covered by the Basic Limited Warranty. These
warranty repairs or adjustments — including all parts
and labor connected with them — will be made by your
authorized FIAT repair facility at no charge, using new
or remanufactured parts.
C. Items Covered by Other Warranties
The following are covered by separate warranties
offered by their makers. They are not covered by the
Basic Limited Warranty:
• tires; or
• items added or changed after your Abarth left the
manufacturing plant, such as accessories or
protection products, or items changed because of
customization.

Be sure you get a copy of any warranty that applies
to these items from your dealer, or from the maker of
the product. You can find the tire warranty state-
ments in your Owner’s Literature Package.
D. Towing Costs Are Covered Under Certain
Circumstances
The Basic Limited Warranty covers the cost of towing
your Abarth to the nearest authorized FIAT repair
facility if your vehicle can’t be driven because a
covered part has failed. If you choose to go to
another dealership, you will be responsible for thecost if the extra distance exceeds 10 miles. See
Section 6.2 for information on how to get towing
service in the United States and Canada.
E. When It Begins
The Basic Limited Warranty begins on either of the
following dates, whichever is earlier:
• the date you take delivery of the Abarth; or
• the date when the Abarth was first put into
service — for example, as a dealer “demo” or as a
Chrysler company vehicle.

H. If Your Abarth Leaves the United States
(We Include U.S. Possessions and Territories
as Part of the United States for Warranty
Purposes):
EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED
BY LAW, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
COVERAGE ON THIS ABARTH IF IT IS
SOLD IN ORREGISTERED IN COUNTRIES
OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES.
This policy does not apply to a Abarth that has
received authorization for export from Chrysler. Dealers
may not give authorization for export. You should
consult an authorized dealer to determine Abarth's
warranty coverage if you have any questions.
This policy does not apply to an Abarth registered to
U.S. government officials or military personnel on
assignment outside of the United States. F. When It Ends
The Basic Limited Warranty lasts for 4 years from the
date it begins or for 50,000 miles on the odometer,
whichever occurs first.
G. Registration and Operation Requirements
The Basic Limited Warranty covers your Abarth only if:
• it was built for sale in the U.S.;
• it’s registered in the U.S.;
• it’s driven mainly in the U.S. or Canada; and
• it’s operated and maintained in the manner

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 corrosion — 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 3.4.
C. How Long It Lasts

Limited Warranty begins under 2.1(E). For body
sheet metal panels, the limit is 12 years, with no
mileage limit.
