AUTOMOBILES CITROËN observes the regulations
issued by European Directive 2000/53//CE relating to
vehicle end-of-life.
Your vehicle does not contain any substance or material
proscribed by Directive 2000/53/CE.
RECYCLING OF MATERIALS
Plastic materials :
All plastic and rubber components are marked for iden-
tification in conformity with the current regulations.
In order to simplify the recycling process, the range of
plastics used has been limited. Most of the plastic com-
ponents are manufactured from thermoplastics which
can be easily recycled by melting, granulation or crush-
ing.
Metals :
These are 100 % recoverable and recyclable.
Glass :
All glass components can be easily removed and col-
lected in order to be processed by the glass industry.
Rubber :
Tyres and seals can be ground down to form re-usable
granules.
AUTOMOBILES CITROËN aims to ensure that its vehicles are manufactured to offer the best possible

performance while keeping down emission levels.
PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
By having your vehicle serviced in the CITROËN net-
work you limit the risk of pollution as well as help to
protect the environment.
Used or damaged parts :
These parts must not just be thrown away. CITROËN
and its dealer network are committed to recycling such
parts in order to protect the environment.
Used oils :
By allowing the CITROËN network to perform all drain-
ing operations and collect the used oil, you limit the risk
of pollution.
Used batteries :
Do not throw away vehicle batteries or remote control
batteries as they contain metals which are toxic to the
environment. Take them to a CITROËN dealer, or to any
other approved collection point.
