–extra-urban cycle: frequent ac-
celerating in all gears, simulating ex-
traurban use of the car; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
–combined consumption: is cal-
culated weighing about 37% of urban
cycle consumption and about 63% of
extraurban consumption.IMPORTANT The type of route,
traffic situations, weather condi-
tions, driving style, general con-
ditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, cli-
mate control system, roof rack,
other situations that affect air
drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those
measured.FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in
the table below are determined on the
basis of the homologation tests set
down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
–urban cycle: cold starting followed
by driving that simulates urban use of
the car;
Fuel consumption according to Urban Extra-urban Combined
1999/100/ECDirective (litres x 100 km)
