Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUEL CONSUMPTION
We derive CO2 and fuel consumptionfigures in laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 or CR (EC)692/2008 and subsequent amendments.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle.
Real world fuel consumption is governedby many factors, for example driving style,high speed driving, stop-start driving, airconditioning usage, the accessories fitted,payload and towing.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in the fuel tank and whenthe fuel gauge indicates empty. Emptyreserve is the amount of fuel in the fueltank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note: The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range. When refuelingyour vehicle after the fuel gauge indicatesempty, you might not be able to refuel thefull amount of the advertised capacity dueto the empty reserve still present in the fueltank.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Switch the ignition off.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when therefueling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isthe engine break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2500 mi (4,000 km). Also, fuel expense,frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readingsare not accurate ways to measure fueleconomy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3.After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
5.Calculate fuel economy by dividingmiles traveled by gallons used (ForMetric: Multiply liters used by 100, thendivide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month andrecord the type of driving (city or freeway).This provides an accurate estimate of yourvehicle’s fuel economy under currentdriving conditions. Additionally, keepingrecords during summer and winter showhow temperature impacts fuel economy.In general, your vehicle will use more fuelin cold temperatures.
