Driving - 173
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind
for its entire service life: during its
production, 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
emissions 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 1.10 gal/62 miles (4.2 l/
100 km) for a petrol vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a
catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor
and an active carbon filter (the latter
prevents vapour from the fuel tank
being released into the open air).
Please make your own
contribution towards protecting
the environment too.
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehicle
battery, oil filter, air filter, batteries, etc.)
and oil containers (empty or filled with
used oil) must be disposed of through
specialist organisations.
– 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
legislation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is at least 85% recyclable
and at least 95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been
designed 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
specialist companies;
– promote a circular economy (re-use,
recycling, recovery, etc.)
This is particularly true for electrified
vehicle batteries.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, your vehicle also includes
many parts made from recycled
plastics or renewable materials.
