PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFEFiat 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.

❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic,
thinner or spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and

seconds before the system starts to play it. The
CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection
is often indicated in small letters or may be difficult
to read on the cover of the CD; it may say
something like, for example, "COPY CONTROL",
"COPY PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or may be identified
through the use of symbols, such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the
compression systems currently on the market
(e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but as
these systems are continually evolving, playback of
all compression formats is not guaranteed.
