For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA C2 performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed and the lubricants should be replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership. The use of products with lower specifications than ACEA C2 could cause damage to the engine not covered by warranty. For particularly harsh climate conditions, ask a Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from PETRONAS LUBRICANTS.

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, Fiat is offering all customers the opportunity of handing 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 its market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be 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, contact a Fiat Dealership or authorised collection and scrapping centres. 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 a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by visiting the Fiat website.
