ENVIRONMENT
3
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.
Manufacture
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).
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (e.g. 225 g/mile (140 g/km),
equivalent to 1.16 gal/62 miles (5.3 l/
100 km) for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with an
emission control system including a
catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor
and a petrol vapour filter (the latter
prevents vapour from the fuel tank be-
ing released into the open air), etc.
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own contri-
bution towards protecting the
environment too.
Recycling
Your vehicle is at least 85% recyclable
and at least 95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
Parts and vehicles at the end of
their life must not be thrown away.
They must be handed to a legal en-
tity that complies with environmental
standards.
–
Worn parts and components that
are replaced during routine vehicle
maintenance, such as tyres or oil
(tanks emptied or filled) must be
disposed of at dedicated collection
points.
–
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 lo-
cal authority for information on ap-
propriate recycling facilities.

To optimise the recycling of your ve-
hicle at the end of its life, you can
contact an authorised dealer or visit
the manufacturer's website to be di-
rected to collection points that guar-
antee respect for the environment
complying with local laws.
–
At the end of the vehicle's service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
–
In all cases, comply with local legis-
lation.
