ENVIRONMENT
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
– Worn electrical and electronic
components that are replaced (such as
batteries) must not be thrown away as
rubbish. Take them to an approved
Dealer or consult your local authority
for information on appropriate recy-
cling facilities.
– To optimise the recycling of your ve-
hicle at the end of its life, you can con-
tact an authorised dealer or visit the
manufacturer's website to be directed
to collection points that guarantee re-
spect for the environment complying
with local laws.
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind
for its entire service life: during its pro-
duction, usage and at the end of its
service life.
Please make your own contri-
bution towards protecting the
environment too.

Manufacture
– Parts and vehicles at the end of their
life must not be thrown away. They
must be handed to a legal entity that
complies with environmental stan-
dards.
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact on
the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and
reusing waste).
Recycling
Your vehicle is at least 85% recyclable
and at least 95% recoverable.
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (e.g. 160.9 g/mile (100 g/km),
equivalent to 67.25 mpg (4.2 l/100 km)
for a petrol vehicle or 225.3 g/mile
(140 g/km), equivalent to 53.29 mpg
(5.3 l/100 km) for a Diesel vehicle).
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to:
– allow these components to be easily
removed and reprocessed by special-
ist companies;
– promote a circular economy (re-use,
recycling, recovery, etc.)
Our vehicles are also equipped with an
emission control system including a
catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor
and an active carbon filter (the latter
prevents vapour from the fuel tank be-
ing released into the open air), etc.
– Worn parts and components that are
replaced during routine vehicle mainte-
nance, such as tyres or oil (tanks emp-
tied or filled) must be disposed of at
dedicated collection points.
This is particularly true for electrified
vehicle batteries.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, your vehicle also includes
