My warranty started some weeks before i bought my new car - should i be worried?

I recently bought a Fiat 500 and noticed that the warranty started four weeks before I bought the car. The dealership has said that this is down to the car being registered early. I have asked for a confirmation that should an issue arise three years from now there wont be any haggling. They have refused to discuss this. I expected more from Fiat. Can I get them to change the warranty date?
