176 - Driving
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. 160.9 g/mile (100 g/km),
equivalent to 0.92 gal (4.2 l)/62 miles
(100km)forapetrolvehicle).Ourve-
hiclesarealsoequippedwithanemis-
sioncontrolsystemincludingacatalyt-
ic converter, an oxygen sensor and an
active carbon filter (the latter prevents
vapourfromthefueltankbeingre-
leased into the open air).
Pleasemakeyourowncontri-
bution towards protecting the
environment too.
– 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.
– 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atdedi-
cated collection points.
– 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.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
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.)
This is particularly true for electrified
vehicle batteries.
Inordertopreserverawmaterialre-
sources, your vehicle also includes
manypartsmadefromrecycledplas-
tics or renewable materials.
