HOW TO RECOGNISE
GENUINE PARTS

To recognise a Genuine Part, check that the component bears our brands, always clearly visible on Genuine Parts,
from the braking system to windscreen wipers, from shock absorbers to pollen filter.
All Genuine Parts undergo strict controls, both during design and manufacturing stages,
by specialists using vanguard materials, to test the component reliability.
This to guarantee performance and safety for you and your passengers on board, for a long time.
Always ask for and make sure a Genuine Part has been used.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
YOUR Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
VEHICLE processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”.
To give 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, Fiat is offering its customers the opportunity of handing over their
SAFETY 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.
STARTING In all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
AND DRIVING charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle
contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection
WARNING LIGHTS and scrapping centres.
AND MESSAGES
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused
vehicles with respect to the environment.
IN AN You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle
EMERGENCY Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
