duction, usage and at the end of its
service life.

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
andnoisepollution,atmosphericemis
sions and waste water; sorting and
reusing waste).
Emissions
(Combustion version)
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO
2
)
while in use and therefore to consume
less fuel (e.g. 225 g/mile (140 g/km),
equivalent to 1.17 gal/62 miles (5.3 l/
100 km) for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particlefiltersystemincludingacat
alytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
anactivecarbonfilter(thelatterpre
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
