Alfa Romeo 4C 2016 Owner handbook (in English)

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To grant customers the best possible service in
terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of
their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional
costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another
vehicle or an FCA-authorised collection and scrapping centre.
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at
their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the
number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.
