Fuel Consumption, Co 2 Emissions - Vauxhall SIGNUM Owner's Manual

Fuel consumption, CO emissions
2
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EC) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urban driving is rated at
1
approx. / and off-road driving with
3
2
approx. / (urban and extra-urban
3
consumption). Cold starts and acceleration
phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO emission is also a
2
constituent of the directive.
Technical data
The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All values are based on the EU base model
with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 2004/3/EC takes
account of the vehicle's kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regulations. Optional extras may result in
slightly higher fuel consumption and CO
emission levels than those quoted.
To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282
by the number of litres/100km.
