11 Specifications

NOTE
If the consumption and emission data is
missing then it is included in the enclosed
supplement.
Fuel consumption and emission values in the
table above are based on specific EU cycles
that apply to cars with kerb weight in the
11
basic version and without extra equipment.
The car's weight may increase depending on
equipment. This, as well as how heavily the
car is loaded, increases fuel consumption and
carbon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel
consumption compared with the table's val-
ues. Examples of this are:
The driver's driving style.
If the customer has specified wheels
larger than those fitted as standard on the
model's basic version, then resistance
increases.
High speed results in increased wind
resistance.
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
weather and the condition of the car.

Official fuel consumption figures are based on two standardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment ("EU driving cycles") all in accordance with EU Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007
(Euro 5 / Euro 6) and UN ECE Regulation no 101. The regulations cover the driving cycles for urban driving and extra-urban driving. - Urban driving - the measurement starts with cold starting the
engine. The driving is simulated. - Extra-urban driving - the car is accelerated and braked at speeds between 0 and 120 km/h. The driving is simulated. - A car with T3, D2, D3, D4 or D5 engine
and 6-speed manual gearbox is started in 2nd gear. The combined driving value given in the table is a combination of urban driving and extra-urban driving, in accordance with applicable legisla-
tion. CO
emissions - the exhaust gases are collected in order to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions during the two driving cycles. These are then analysed and give the value for CO
2
emissions.

Even a combination of the above-mentioned
examples can result in significantly improved
consumption. For further information, please
refer to the regulations referred to
Large deviations in fuel consumption may
arise in a comparison with the EU driving
3
cycles
which are used in the certification of
3
,
the car and on which the consumption figures
in the table are based.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes in combi-
nation with fuel grade are factors that
could affect the car's performance.
