A. Some Modifications Don’t Void the
Warranties But Aren’t Covered
Certain changes that you might make to your
Abarth, by themselves, void the warranties
described in this booklet. Examples of some of
these changes are:

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, materi-
als, or additives.
Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-
Chrysler parts. Repairs or adjustments caused by their

4. Other Terms of Your
Warranties
4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in
Warranty 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, purifica-
tion, and reuse of automotive air-conditioning
refrigerant gases. As a result, a repair to the
sealed portion of your air-conditioning
system may involve the installation of purified
reclaimed refrigerant.

4.2 Pre-Delivery Service
A 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.

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
control module, this Federal Emission Warranty coversthat part for a period of 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. These limits are counted from the time when
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
properly 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.

ranty.
