PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE

Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement

of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem.

To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to

European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the

opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.

The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not

incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European

Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of

charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the

vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.

To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or

Fiat-authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high

quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the

surrounding environment.

You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat and Fiat

Commercial Vehicle Dealership or by calling the toll-free number 00800 3428 0000 or on the Fiat website.

(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of 3.5 t
