136TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
CO2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption values shown
in the table below were defined ac-
cording to the type-approval specifi-
cations in European Directives.
Consumption values are defined by
means of the following procedures:
– an urban cycle: consisting of a
cold start and a simulated drive in city
streets;
– an extra-urban cycle: consisting
in frequent accelerations, in all gears,
simulating normal conditions of use.
Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;
– average combined cyclecon-
sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63% ex-
tra-urban cycle.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
IMPORTANT Road and traffic
conditions, weather, general con-
ditions of the car, driving style,
fittings and accessories, use of
the climate control system, load,
roof racks and other situations
penalising aerodynamic penetra-
tion and effecting rolling resis-
tance will influence fuel con-
sumption rates which can be dif-
ferent from the values shown in
the table (see
CHEAP RUNNING
THAT RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT
in DRIVING YOUR CARchapter).
The maximum CO2emission values
shown in the following table refer to
the average combined cycle.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through the
continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guar-
anteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by
European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life
span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring
expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the
European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002
on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle
still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our cus-
tomers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your near-
est authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call
the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
