Performance
These values were calculated without extra equipment reducing
performance, such as air conditioning, mud flaps, extra wide tyres,
etc.
K
Fuel Consumption
The consumption and emission levels were calculated using the
93/116/CE measuring standards and take into account the true
free-standing weight of the vehicle (weight category). To measure
the fuel consumption the vehicle is tested in two different cycles
on a rolling bench under the following conditions:

driving conditions similar to those of in-town driving are simulated.

the car is accelerated and braked in all gears,
just as in normal driving. The driving speed varies between 0 and

vehicles tested in town and intercity driving on a rolling belt. These
fumes are then analysed and the CO

among other values.

• The consumption and emission levels given in the following tables are
correct for unloaded vehicles with basic fittings. If there are extra
fittings, the empty weight will increase and, as a result, the weight
category, which may slightly increase the consumption and CO
2levels.
Consult a Technical Service Centre to find out the exact specifications of
your vehicle.
• Driving style, road and traffic conditions, weather conditionsand the
condition of the vehicle will, in practice, produce consumption levels
different to those indicated.
