CO emissions

Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed by
1999/100/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 extra-urban 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.
The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All values stem from the EU base model
with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 1999/100/EC takes
account of the vehicle's kerbweight,
ascertained in accordance with the said
regulation. 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 number of litres/100 km.
