General notes on the technical data
Data on fuel consumption
Fuel c
onsumption The consumption and emission details shown on the vehicle
data
s

ticker differ from one vehicle to another.
The fuel consumption, CO 2 emissions and actual kerb weight of the vehicle
are noted on the vehicle data sticker.
The fuel consumption and emissions figures given are based on the vehicle
weight category, which is determined according to the engine/gearbox
combination and the equipment fitted.
The consumption and emission figures are calculated in accordance with
the EC test requirements 1999/100/EC. These test requirements specify a
realistic test method based on normal everyday driving.
The following test conditions are applied: Urban cycle The urban cycle starts with an engine cold start. City driving
is
then s

imulated. Extra urban
cyc
l

e In the extra urban cycle simulation the vehicle frequently ac-
cel
er
ates and brakes in all gears, as in normal everyday driv-
ing. The road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h. Total con-
sumption The average total consumption is calculated with a weight-
ing of
ar

ound 37% for the urban cycle and 63% for the extra
urban cycle. CO
2 emis-
s ion

s The exhaust gases are collected during both driving cycles
to c
alc
ulate carbon dioxide emissions. The gas composition
is then analysed to evaluate the CO 2 content and other
emissions. Note
● Actual consumption may vary from quoted test values, depending on
per son

al driving style, road and traffic conditions, the weather and the vehi-
cle condition. 
Weights Kerb weight refers to the basic model with a fuel tank filled to 90% capacity
and without
option

al extras. The figure quoted includes 75 kg to allow for
the weight of the driver.
For special versions and optional equipment fittings or for the addition of
accessories, the weight of the vehicle will increase ⇒  .
WARNING
● Please note that the centre of gravity may shift when transporting
he avy

objects; this may affect the vehicle's handling and lead to an acci-
dent. Always adjust your speed and driving style to suit road conditions
and requirements.
● Never exceed the gross axle weight rating or the gross vehicle weight
rating. If
the allowed axle load or the allowed total weight is exceeded,
the driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to acci-
dents, injuries and damage to the vehicle. 
