WELCOME ABOARD Fiat Dobl

Fiat Dobl is a compact vehicle with an original bodyline, designed to offer great driving comfort, ensure safe-

Everything, from its new engines to its safety devices, from its improved comfort for driver and passengers alike
to its practical solutions, contributes to make you appreciate your Fiat Dobls personality.
And you will realise it later when you discover that its driving style and performance goes hand in hand with
new manufacturing processes that help cut running costs.

anywhere else, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.
As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify the subjects in
the different areas:

(*) For particularly harsh climate conditions, ask the Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from the Selenia range.
For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA B4 performance are accepta-
ble; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed and the lubricant should be replaced as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with features lower than ACEA B4 - SAE 5W-40 could cause damage to diesel engine not covered by warranty.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE


AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the
Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more eco
friendly products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental
standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers
its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same
incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of
the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehi-
cles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of
the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and
body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality ser-
vice to our customers by de-polluting and recycling End of Life Vehicles to approved environmental standards. To find
out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our
dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.

* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
