Alfa Romeo MiTo 2021 Owner handbook (in English)

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
(where provided)
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.
