Cold starts and acceleration phases are
also tak en into consideration.
The specification of CO emission is also a
2
constituent of the directive.
The figures given m ust not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a p artic ular vehicle.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
spec ified by directive 1999/100/EC takes
acc ount of the v ehicle' s kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with these
regula tions. O ptional extras ma y result in
slightly higher fuel consumption and CO
