TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
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 "eco-compatible". 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, contact a Fiat Dealership or 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 or Fiat Commercial
Vehicle Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of 3.5 t
