Skoda 2013 Octavia A7 Owner's Manual page 257

The operating weight also contains the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight of
the operating fluids, the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference
between the permissible total weight and the operating weight
The payload consists of the following components:
›
Passengers
›
All items of luggage and other loads
›
Roof load including roof rack system
›
Equipment not included in the operating weight
›
Trailer hook weight when towing (up to 75 kg and 80 kg for the Octavia Combi
4x4 vehicles).
Fuel consumption according to the ECE standards and EU guidelines
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the engine.
Afterwards standard urban driving is simulated.
In the extra-urban driving cycle, the vehicle is accelerated and decelerated in all
gears, corresponding to daily routine driving conditions. The driving speed varies
between 0 and -120 km/h.
The calculation of the combined fuel consumption considers a weighting of about
37 % for the intra-urban cycle and 63 % for the extra-urban cycle.
WARNING
Do not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of accident
and damage!
Note
If required, you can find out the precise weight of your vehicle at a specialist ga-
■
rage.
Depending on the range of equipment, style of driving, traffic situation, weather
■
influences and vehicle condition, consumption values may deviate from the indi-
cated values.
